Dr. Pablo Arenaz, PresidentTexas A&M International University

“I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AND WELCOMING YOU TO ‘ DISCOVER TAMIU.’ ”

WELCOMEWe’re excited to welcome you to “Discover TAMIU,” our daylong celebration of all things Texas A&M International University. We’ve designed this event to welcome people of all ages, their families and friends, and to open doors and minds to what TAMIU means.

This year, we’re especially excited to present “Discover TAMIU” as part of our 50th Anniversary Celebration, “A World of Difference.” We have events celebrating this milestone event in our history throughout the year, but “Discover TAMIU” is especially dear to our TAMIU faculty and staff.

That’s because “Discover TAMIU” is really about connection. Through activities, events, fun and games we’re sharing an engaging opportunity to show how TAMIU can brighten futures, lift hearts, and open minds. Whether you’re sharing this day with your child or

teen, or carving out a day for yourself and friends, today we focus on how education makes possibilities real for all. For the past 50 years, we’ve been making these transformations real and we’re proud to share our story.

At “Discover TAMIU,” you can explore the Dustdevil Spirit and find out that our 300-acre campus is home to a world-class education delivered by a gifted, global faculty. This is a place that radiates culture and knowledge, balanced by tradition and cutting-edge discovery. We’ve created five different pathways that will move you from classroom to boardroom, or from laboratory to the very skies above campus.

This is a family-friendly event where children will delight in navigating the campus with parents, where teens can tackle technology in its latest iteration, and where everyone can absorb sweeping vistas that can be the home base to futures of great promise. Over 29,000 graduates from all around the world, and just around the corner can confirm this.

Each year at “Discover TAMIU” we gather to celebrate, to be inspired, and to be challenged to discover more... and then more still. Whether it’s a STEM opportunity, a chance to see history come to life, or a glimpse at a cherished future career, the connection to “Going Beyond” begins HERE.

I’m looking forward to seeing you and welcoming you to “Discover TAMIU.”
