Zayas<br>UTRGV Provost Luis Zayas poses for a photo in his office<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/utrgvradio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/PROVOST-1106_mezcla.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">On June 1, Luis Zayas, who has a doctorate in developmental psychology, was appointed as the new provost of UTRGV. Zayas has worked in higher education for more than 10 years. He tells us what his journey was to get to UTRGV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally from Coamo, Puerto Rico, Zayas\u2019 father was in the military. He recalls regularly moving between states and even countries until his globetrotting days came to an end when he began his studies in Economics at Manhattan College in New York City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Zayas, his career in social work has everything to do with his parents&#8217; influence, and their \u201cgivingness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cMy parents were always available to our neighbors and helped out,\u201d he said \u201cMy mother had extra food we offered to the neighbors. I could see these back and forth. (6.30) I saw that, the servingness, that they [were] social servants.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Zayas said that his father was the one that encouraged him to pursue higher education. He is the first one in his family to go to college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zayas expressed his family is very close. He said the main reason for that is due to his mother having his brothers and him pray the rosary every night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cEvery evening my mom would have all six of kids, climb up on the bed and we would pray the rosary together,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was not just a religious event but it was a bonding event for the family. I am not religious anymore, never was really, but it was the social event, it was the evening prayer that really kept us close.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>He identifies himself as a very quiet and shy person. He is a good listener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cI don&#8217;t&nbsp; think others see that,\u201d Zayas said. \u201cI work very hard to make sure that I engage socially and professionally, but I think that at the core, I am pretty much a person that prefers to be by himself. I am a good listener.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>He said his listening helped him in his job as a dean at Steve Hicks School of Social Work at the University of Texas at Austin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cInstead of spending all my time pitching the school, I spent more time asking [donors] about themselves and in building those relationships,\u201d Zayas said. \u201cOftentimes they became donors, and generous ones.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sharon Brennan is the Director of Faculty Affairs at the Steve Hicks School of Social Work at UT Austin. She was Dr. Zayas&#8217; assistant and recalls her experiences working with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cHe is awesome,\u201d Brennan said. \u201cVery laid-back, easygoing, funny; like we had our own meetings just with each other, once we came back to the office, we had one on one just to go over the day and we\u2019ve been cracking up.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ruben Parra-Cardona, is a professor and the dean for Global Engagement at the Steve Hicks School of Social Work at UT Austin. He spoke about Dr. Zayas&#8217; attitude and way of thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cHe is extraordinary,\u201d Parra-Cardona said. \u201cHe is brilliant so that&#8217;s the first thing you say \u2018oh my god this guy is thinking 3000 miles per hour.\u2019 He is a risk-taker, an out of the box thinker. The way he implemented his scholarship, the way he designed, implemented and disseminated his scholarship tells you about the leadership he has.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>During his time at UT Austin, Zayas learned the importance of public higher education in America. He expressed pride in his overseeing of the diversification of the graduate programs while at UT Austin. The School of Social Work illustrated diversity not only in racial and ethnicities, but geographically as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the new Provost and Vice president for Academic affairs Zayas oversees all academic matters including faculty and student success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zayas said he wants students to persevere in their studies, and trust that they have something to offer to the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>&nbsp;\u201cThere are going to be times when you are challenged as a student,\u201d Zayas said. \u201cAnd you say \u2018Oh my god, should I be here? I need to leave, Oh this is going to take so long, it\u2019s four years of my life.\u2019 Don\u2019t lose hope, persevere, you are smart, you didn&#8217;t get here on a fluke. This is particular for the undergrad, you were admitted here because you have something to offer the world. Don\u2019t lose sight of that. I want every student to know that they can make it, they can succeed here.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is Fernanda Gonzalez for Vaquero Radio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fernanda Gonzalez&nbsp;
