This week, we’ll hear from an attorney who serves migrants in West Texas. She shares her experience of navigating the fast-paced changes impacting her work with people who are working on becoming U.S. citizens. There’s someone new at the helm of McMurry University. We’ll introduce you to President Lynn Murray, who is leading the university into its next century. Drought is intensifying across Texas. The Texas Water Development Board reported last week that, compared to a year ago, Texas has more than double the amount of drought. We’ll hear from an author who says cities in the Southwest could be a model for resilience as temperatures rise and drought becomes an ongoing challenge. AND local children are preparing for their moment in the spotlight this month—the Dyess and Abilene Children’s Theater will bring Disney’s The Little Mermaid Junior to the stage.
