More than half of alcohol-related crashes during Spring Break 2022 involved young drivers (17–30 years old)
AUSTIN – As spring break approaches, TxDOT is teaming up with college students to make sure their celebrations don’t have catastrophic consequences.
The “Drive Sober. No Regrets” campaign is traveling to college campuses and spring break hot spots across the state to spread the message that there is always a safe and sober way to get home. TxDOT is partnering with campus-based U in the Driver Seat and student leaders across Texas to reinforce this message with their classmates.
“Every death due to drunk driving is preventable,” TxDOT Executive Director Marc Williams said. “We want students to understand that it’s easy to celebrate spring break safely. By finding a sober ride, taking a cab, using a rideshare, or simply staying put after drinking, students can make sure their families gather for graduation and not a funeral.”
In 2022, there were 810 DUI-alcohol-related traffic crashes during the spring break period, killing 44 people and seriously injuring 90 others. All because someone chose to get behind the wheel while impaired.
Throughout March, TxDOT will show the real consequences of driving after drinking as it brings its mobile “DUI Not So Fun House” and video exhibit to college campuses and key spring break locations. The mobile exhibit lets people experience the effects of alcohol and the dangers associated with driving under the influence.
TxDOT’s Drive Sober. No Regrets. campaign is a key component of #EndTheStreakTX, a broader social media and word-of-mouth effort that encourages drivers to make safer choices while behind the wheel to help end the streak of daily deaths. Nov. 7, 2000, was the last deathless day on Texas roadways.
The information contained in this report represents reportable data collected from the Texas Peace Officer’s Crash Report (CR-3). This information was received and processed by the department as of November 16, 2023.
Más de la mitad de los choques relacionados con el alcohol durante Spring Break en el 2022 involucraron a conductores jóvenes (17-30 años)
AUSTIN – A medida que se acercan las vacaciones de Spring Break, TxDOT está uniendo fuerzas con estudiantes universitarios para asegurarse de que las celebraciones no tengan consecuencias catastróficas. La campaña No Te Arrepientas. Maneja Sobrio. está viajando a las universidades y puntos populares de Spring Break en todo el estado para dar a conocer el mensaje de que siempre hay una manera segura y sobria de llegar a casa. TxDOT está colaborando con el grupo universitario U in the Driver Seat y con líderes universitarios en todo Texas para reforzar este mensaje con sus compañeros.
“Cada muerte causada por un conductor ebrio es prevenible”, dijo Marc Williams, Director Ejecutivo de TxDOT. “Queremos que los estudiantes comprendan que es fácil celebrar las vacaciones de Spring Break de manera segura. Al usar un transporte sobrio, tomar un taxi, usar un servicio de transporte compartido o simplemente quedarse donde están después de tomar, los estudiantes se aseguran de que sus familias se reúnan para una graduación, no para un funeral”.
En el 2022, hubo 810 choques de tránsito relacionados con el manejo bajo la influencia del alcohol (DUI, por sus siglas en inglés) durante el periodo de Spring Break, que ocasionaron 44 muertes y 90 lesiones graves. Todo porque alguien decidió ponerse al volante mientras se encontraba bajo la influencia.
Durante el mes de marzo, TxDOT mostrará las consecuencias reales de manejar después de tomar con su “Casa No Tan Divertida de DWI” móvil y una exhibición de videos en varias universidades y lugares clave de Spring Break. La exhibición móvil les permite a las personas experimentar los efectos del alcohol y los peligros asociados con manejar bajo la influencia.
La campaña No Te Arrepientas. Maneja Sobrio. es un componente clave de #EndTheStreakTX, un esfuerzo comunitario y de redes sociales más extenso que anima a los conductores a tomar decisiones de manejo más seguras detrás del volante para ayudar a darle fin a la racha de muertes diarias. El 7 de noviembre del 2000 fue el último día sin muertes en los caminos de Texas.
La información contenida en este reporte representa los datos registrables obtenidos de Texas Peace Officer’s Crash Report (CR-3). Esta información la recibió y procesó el departamento para el 16 de noviembre del 2023.

SANTA FE – Today, the New Mexico Human Services Department (HSD) in partnership with the Children Youth and Families Department (CYFD), launched a new, free centralized training calendar designed to support the professional development of behavioral health professionals.

“Our aim with this calendar is to streamline the process of accessing essential training opportunities, facilitating the professional growth of all practitioners in this field,” said Nick Boukas, Director of the Behavioral Health Services Division with the Human Services Department.
“The ease of access will assist providers to deepen their understanding and skills in addressing the life span of New Mexicans,” said Liz Hamilton, Director of Behavioral Health Services for CYFD. “This effort will allow the different generations of providers to come together and collaborate.”

Orlando, Florida, February 22, 2024– El Paso Community College (EPCC) was presented with Achieving the Dream’s (AtD) Leah Meyer Austin (LMA) Alumni Award during AtD’s 20th annual conference. EPCC President, Dr. William Serrata, was presented with a commemorative challenge coin for being a previous LMA Award recipient. The college was also recognized as a Network Legend for EPCC’s long-time work with AtD.
EPCC earned the Leah Meyer Austin (LMA) Alumni Award in 2011. This recognition is the highest distinction a college in the ATD Network can earn and the award is given annually to a college that demonstrates outstanding long-term gains in student success and institutional equity. “EPCC is proud to be recognized as a Leah Meyer Austin Alumni Award recipient,” Serrata said. “Since earning this award, EPCC continues to make measurable advances in student success, including graduating more than 100,000 students, preparing our community’s workforce and transforming our region.”
Dr. William Serrata
The college has maintained its commitment to success and progress since receiving the LMA Award. One example is, between 2012 to 2022, El Paso saw a 50% increase in the number of individuals with an Associate’s Degree and the time to earn a degree has decreased. In 2012, when Serrata arrived at EPCC, the college had awarded around 50,000 degrees. In just over a decade, the number of degrees EPCC has awarded has doubled—in December of 2023, EPCC awarded its100,000th degree.
Not only do the degrees awarded help students and their families improve their lives, it also develops a skilled and trained workforce. Jasmine Saucedo is both a mother and a recent graduate who aspires to continue her education and serve our community as a nurse. “I had stopped going to school and I told my husband, I really need to finish this because it will give our daughter the best life. I want to give her more than I had,” Saucedo said.
EPCC Graduation
Other examples of how EPCC has continued advancing regional success since receiving the LMA Award is through its continued commitment to creating a college- going culture. Results have been demonstrated by working with K-12 and other partners to steadily increase FAFSA completion, which increased 4% in 2022-23 resulting in Region 19 currently leading the state in FAFSA completion at 84%. More area students have access to a college education while still in high school. In partnership with area school districts, EPCC now has 18 Early College High Schools and 19 P-Techs that allow students to simultaneously earn a high school diploma and a degree from EPCC. To date, more than 6,000 students have graduated from these programs and more than 51,000 Dual Credit students have been served by EPCC to date.
For more than 50 years, EPCC has offered affordable, high-quality education and career pathways. EPCC students graduate prepared to enter the workforce or to continue their education. “Higher education is the path to prosperity and a better life for students, their families and our entire community,” Serrata said. “Therefore, our laser focus on student success remains steadfast.”

El Paso, Texas, February 22, 2024 – Yasmin Ramirez, Associate Professor of English at El Paso Community College (EPCC) has received two distinguished awards this week for her work with online students and as the author of ¡Ándale, Prieta!
Ms. Ramirez received the 2023 Award for Excellence in eLearning – Outstanding Distance Educator or Staff Member – South Central Region from the Instructional Technology Council (ITC). She has not only influenced student success in her classes, but has gone above and beyond for her English faculty colleagues. She has developed numerous courses for online instruction and these shells are shared with those teaching these sections. The course shells offer a road map for new faculty and increase consistency between faculty members.
“Her continuous dedication to improving distance education at the institution is vital to student success,” Daniel Guerra, EPCC Dean of Communication and Fine Arts at the Valle Verde campus said. “I look forward to Yasmin having more opportunities to increase the level of online instruction for her department.”
Ramirez’ interest in technology and incorporating platforms and tools translates into how she approaches distance education. While many believe this type of learning is isolating, there are so many incredible tools to help facilitate connectivity. These tools often allow for stronger faculty/student relationships because it transcends a traditional classroom.
“Distance learning allows anyone to become a student. That is magic,” Ramirez said. “I love distance education because it allows me to connect with students from any place anywhere.”
Ms. Ramirez has also been recognized again for her award-winning book, ¡Ándale, Prieta! with the 2023 Southwest Book Award from the Border Regional Library Association. Since 1971, the Southwest Book Awards have been presented in recognition of outstanding books about the Southwest published each year in any genre (e.g. fiction, nonfiction, reference) and directed toward any audience (scholarly, popular, children).
The novel previously received a silver medal at the International Latino Book Awards from Empowering Latino Futures, a California-based nonprofit organization with a mission to remove barriers to success and recognize greatness in various fields for Hispanics and other underserved communities.
SANTA FE – The Scientific Laboratory Division of the New Mexico Department of Health (NMDOH) has confirmed the first case of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) this year. A man living in San Juan County was hospitalized, released, and is at home recovering.
HPS, however, is often a severe, sometimes fatal, respiratory disease in humans caused by the Sin Nombre virus. In 2023, New Mexico had seven cases of HPS in residents of McKinley, San Juan and Taos counties, with two of these patients dying.
In New Mexico, deer mice are the primary carriers of hantavirus. The virus is found in mice droppings and urine, and people are typically exposed to hantavirus around their homes, cabins or sheds, especially when cleaning out or exploring enclosed areas with mouse droppings.
“Mice tend to try to enter buildings to find shelter, so it is important to seal up homes and other structures,” said State Public Health Veterinarian Erin Phipps, DVM, MPH. “While there is no specific treatment for HPS, the chances of recovery are better when medical attention is sought early, and the healthcare provider is informed about any environmental contact with rodents.”
Symptoms typically develop within one to six weeks after rodent exposure and may look and feel like the flu or a stomach bug. Individuals with HPS may experience fever and muscle aches, possibly accompanied by chills, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and cough, which can progress to respiratory distress and severe illness.
Avoid exposure to rodents and their nests – and reduce the risk of contracting hantavirus – by following these important steps:

El Paso, TX – The cannabis-themed restaurant and bar is eagerly anticipating its opening and can’t wait to light the
joint up, and be the undisputed local hangout for curing cottonmouth and the munchies!
Cheba journeyman Isaac Montoya and his astonishing team are true representatives of the Hut! The team is thrilled to
bring their immense talents to the wonderful city of El Paso, TX, and stoked to continue their storied relationship with
the “toasted” sub and bar concept.
Montoya’s professional evolution within the Chebaverse is one of hard work and passion. Starting as a crew member
and rapidly moving up the ranks to general manager and eventually an owner, he is a full embodiment of the brand
and will now have four locations under his belt with more on the radar.
Montoya and his team have been highly regarded representatives of the Hut throughout the South for quite some
time, crushing the New Mexico markets and now taking their talents into the Lone Star State. They believe it is vital for
the new shop to reflect the history of El Paso and its inviting community of residents. Two examples of how they plan
to express these aspirations are through their central mural and offering a spacious patio with over 100 seats for
homies to soak up the West Texas sun.
Montoya explains, “El Paso is a very unique location because of how neighborhood-oriented it is and we plan to lean
into that with the new shop. Our goal is to become the city’s undisputed neighborhood hangout and I truly feel the
interior and exterior of the shop capture that inviting vibe we hope to give off.”
Finley, Cheba Hut’s staple muralist, has once again proven his immense artistic talent with a mural that incorporates
the scenic desert landscape with a trippy twist only he could bring to life.
Not only will the new Texas location be serving up a variety of dank subs, fluffy pretzel nugs, and gooey krispy treats
that can cure any level of the munchies, but also, for the twenty-one and up homies, they’ll be slinging some delicious
signature cocktails and local brews from their full bar that will obliterate any presence of cottonmouth!
Isaac and his team wholeheartedly understand the importance of maintaining Cheba Hut’s Core Values (The Hustle,
Show Respect, Own It, Pay It Forward, Keep It Real). Montoya explains, “Owning It is our top priority. We struggle as
humans to own our successes so we want to emphasize the wins and celebrate them. Being engaged, transparent,
and seeing every little task through in its entirety are all the aspects of this core value that we aim to display.”
The shop located at 3001 N Zaragoza Rd. El Paso, TX 79938 opens its doors on Friday, 2/23! The brand is stoked to
bring over 30 signature “toasted” subs, an array of delicious munchie treats, and cottonmouth cures for all ages
(Crafted Cocktails for the 21+ homies) to the El Paso area!
Mark your calendar, grab your buds (pun intended), and celebrate the shop and its crew! For more information about
opening day and upcoming events, check out chebahut.texas!
About Cheba Hut: Cheba Hut has been escaping the established and
getting “toasted” since 1998. Breaking the mold of mundane fast-
casual concepts by becoming the first marijuana-themed sandwich
“joint,” Cheba Hut is dedicated to providing customers with a
delicious, memorable sandwich and munchie options in a chill,
eclectic environment where genuine people serve made-to-order
food. Cheba Hut’s fun and authentic dining experience includes a
