			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.goodbullblog.com/blogs/media/blogs/goodbull/tamu_president.jpg" alt="Elsa Murano appointed first female TAMU President" align="right" height="200" />I am really proud to say that today the Texas A&amp;M University System Board of Regents formally appointed Dr. Elsa Murano the 23rd president of Texas A&amp;M University in College Station on Thursday.  This is not a surprise, as Murano was the sole finalist for the position since December 2007.</p>
<p>This is a huge deal, as Murano is both the first Hispanic and woman to be named president of Texas A&amp;M.</p>
<p>Texas A&amp;M is a world class institution.  As such, it is really important that we throw off ancient (and incorrect) perceptions about Aggie prejudices.  Having a supremely qualified Hispanic woman at the helm is a huge step in that direction.</p>
<p>Murano is a trail blazer, having previously served as vice chancellor and dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Texas A&amp;M.  Before that, she was the first Hispanic American to serve as undersecretary for food safety for the U.S. Department of Agriculture.</p>
<p>Choosing qualified people to lead the University while respecting diversity is <strong>Good Bull.</strong></p>
