History of the Institute
In 2018, the Texas A&M University System Board of Regents approved the establishment of the Dr. Henry G. Cisneros Institute for Emerging Leaders at Texas A&M-San Antonio. Named in honor of Dr. Henry G. Cisneros and in recognition of his lead gift of $1 million, the Cisneros Institute will serve as an incubator of leadership talent to serve the nation.
