Dr. Aguirre has had a distinguished career as an academic, professor, investigator and director of Phytosanitary regulations for trade between the U.S. and Mexico. He earned his Ph. D. from Texas A&M University in 1978.

From 2002 to this past November, he served as the rector of his university. La Narro is the leading agrarian university in Mexico.

In the late 1990s, Dr. Aguirre held several important posts related to international trade for the administration of President Ernesto Zedillo. He served as director of Phytosanitary regulation and as general director of Sanitation for plants and produce. These positions have given Dr. Aguirre a unique perspective on the manner in which NAFTA is applied to trade between Mexico and the U.S.

On March 31, 2006, Chancellor Nick Dunagan visited Saltillo and, with Dr. Aguirre, signed an agreement of cooperation between UTM and La Narro for student and faculty exchange, as well as for research collaboration. La Narro and our university are already enjoying the benefits of this agreement.

Please plan on attending the presentation by Dr. Aguirre at 3 p.m. on Thursday in UC 111.
