    It's (sorta) new, created by combining the former University of Texas Pan American (which was Pan American University before that) and the U. of Texas at Brownsville (prior to that a U.T. extension at Texas Southernmost College, the local community college). Texas seems to be putting a lot of effort into turning the result into a research university, rolling out new doctoral programs and even a medical school.

    Anybody who follows SpaceX's activities in Boca Chica probably knows about Stargate, located next door to Elon Musk's rocket-ship shipyard.

    I always find it funny how some schools have pleasantly pronounceable acronyms like NYU or BU or BYU or UNV.

    Then you get ones like this where it sounds like you were singing the alphabet song and got very confused.
