    July 26, 2018 Shawn Laatsch, President Emera Astronomy Center – University of Maine 167 Rangeley Road Orono, ME 04401 Dear Shawn: This letter is in reply to your request of July 24 for how we plan to address safety and security concerns, expressed by the LGBTQ+ community within IPS about Houston being selected as host of the 2022 IPS conference. Houston is a very open-minded, tolerant city where none need be concerned with their safety, as I hope the following points will demonstrate. Houston is home to the largest gay community in Texas, and the 6th-largest in the nation with over 60,000 LGBTQ+ residents. Houston remains the most populous city in the U.S. to elect an openly gay mayor. Anise Parker was elected in 2010, and was re-elected to two additional 2-year terms before leaving office due to term limits. Houston’s current mayor, Sylvester Turner, has made numerous public statements in support of the city’s diversity and tolerance, including this one from a recent press conference: “This is the most diverse city in America,” Turner said. “We acknowledge and celebrate that diversity in all its dimensions. You can be diverse and yet separate, segregated and apart. As Mayor of this City, I want us to be diverse and inclusive, and I want to live in a City where people can be who they are and we can be tolerant of people’s opinions, ideologies, sexual orientation, ethnicities, religion and/or cultures.” Houston is home to the 4th largest Gay Pride parade in the nation.

Now, I know how amazing SHSU is because of the dedication of the faculty and staff that work here. The students are fortunate to have Planting Seeds such dedicated people shaping their academic and administrative experiences. The extraordinary leadership of President Gaertner provided an ongoing legacy of strength in the president’s role at Sam Houston State University. Therefore, I am honored to transition to this new role at Sam Houston. The presidency provides me for Success more possibilities to interact with our energetic students, our enthusiastic alumni and supportive community. We have such strengths and great traditions that provide a strong base upon which to build, evolve and develop new pathways for this ‘grand old university.’ With the wonderful history of strong fiscal management and Dr. Gaertner’s strategic placement of SHSU, I take the helm at an opportune, yet potentially tough, time for the university. We have excellent opportunities to provide our student success model into expanding student arenas, both in distance learning and at the new Woodlands facility. The state’s fiscal situation, while stronger than many areas of the country, is still going to mean a difficult several years for funding.

The theme for our programs in May is Relationships. Alfred, Lord Tennyson said, "I am a part of all that I have met." We know instinctively that we need others for our life's journey even though we fiercely guard our independence and individuality. We are inextricably linked to everyone we know and even those we do not yet know -- and our lives are linked to every creature on this planet and to the future of the planet itself. Come with us during the month of May, as we explore the nature and importance of relationships. May 1: Rev. Bob Tucker, “Brother, Who Art Thou?” Mother Teresa diagnosed the world’s ills in this way: We’ve just forgotten that we belong to each other. Bob is a native of Minnesota and has served churches in South Dakota, Minnesota, Texas and Kansas. He was, for twenty-eight years, the Senior Minister of First Congregational Church of Houston. He is Executive Director Emeritus of The Foundation for Contemporary Theology.
