Elsa Murano will become Texas A&M's new president in January. It's an amazing and inspiring story of a woman who as a girl with her family, fled Castro's Cuba in 1961 and later came to the United States at the age of 14 not knowing any English. Murano pursued microbiology, food science and technology studies earning a masters and doctorate degrees. In 2001 she was appointed undersecretary for food safety at the Department of Agriculture and is now poised to fill the chief executive slot of a major university.Dr. Murano is profiled in the Houston Chronicle here, the Dallas Morning News here, the Austin American Statesman here.
