Archbishop Gustavo García-Siller thanks Dr. Abel Chávez for service to Our Lady of the Lake University

Archbishop Gustavo García-Siller thanked Dr. Abel Chávez for his service following the decision to resign as president of Our Lady of the Lake University.

In a statement from the Archdiocese of San Antonio, the archbishop noted that Chávez worked for four years to strengthen the university's finances and develop plans to increase enrollment. García-Siller also credited Chávez with bringing new ideas to the campus to improve academic programs.

The university is operated by the Congregation of Divine Providence, which has provided Catholic education at the institution for over a century. García-Siller said he prays the university finds a new leader to uphold its Catholic mission and guide the school toward future success.
