The work of MIT-trained economics professor Richard Butler — an expert
in urban economics — is a perfect example of Trinity’s deep connection to the
city of San Antonio. Working closely with Trinity colleague Mary Stefl, Butler produced a series of studies that examined the impact of bioscience, healthcare,
hospitality, aerospace, and technology industries on San Antonio’s economy. Butler also helped establish the Alamo Area Aerospace Academy, the Information Technology
and Security Academy, and the Manufacturing Technology Academy, which train
local high school students for well-paying jobs in those industries. Similar
academies are planned for the future. Butler is also adept at involving
students in his work. For example, he’s the founder and co-director of
“Economists in the Schools,” a unique program that sends Trinity students into San Antonio schools to teach basic economic principles. |
