ITC Advocacy
The ITC is funded by a biennial legislative appropriation. With its statewide mandate to educate students on Texas and Texans, we appreciate any community support in carrying out that mission. In some cases, that support might be advocating on the institute’s behalf. If you would like to contact elected officials or local media regarding the Institute or have an institute representative provide an overview of the museum’s mission and status for your organization, please e-mail itcweb@utsa.edu for the latest news, developments, and opportunities.
