SEU’s Senior Groundskeeper,
Brenda Vallance, the new Dean of
the School of Behavioral and Social
Sciences, comes to St. Edward’s
University from Colorado Springs,

Marianne Hopper, who is now the
SEU Dean of University Programs.

recently appointed at SEU.
Vallance accepted the position at
SEU because she felt it offered a
professional challenge. “To have the

Mariachi Alas de Oro (Wings of
Gold) soared into this grand venue to
play to state lawmakers, media and the
public. Later that evening they played
