Dear University community,

With the approach of the Fall semester weeks away, Texas A&M International University is gearing up to welcome new students, faculty and members of our administration and staff.

• I’m proud to present our new Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Claudia E. San Miguel. Dr. San Miguel will be our first female and first Hispanic Provost. She has achieved a remarkable legacy of teaching, research, and service to the University, and is keenly positioned to continue that legacy as our new Provost. Find out more about Dr. San Miguel here and learn about her priorities moving forward.
• Tomorrow, we also welcome Rosalinda García as our first Vice President for Student Engagement. We have a vibrant student life here at TAMIU and as our chief student life officer, Ms. García will provide strategic leadership to grow student experience and success. Meet Ms. García and find out about her thoughts on helping TAMIU grow.
• We also celebrate the addition of Mr. Juan Gilberto García as Vice President of Enrollment Management. Mr. García also shares a remarkable history of service here at the University and will lead our Division of Enrollment Management, a sprawling operation that encompasses our dynamic enrollment, international, outreach, recruitment and TRIO programs. He’ll be assisted by new Associate Vice President of Enrollment Management Scheiby Fisher González.
• We’ll also be welcoming scores of new faculty and I look forward to introducing all to our University community.

• Is your degree still pending? Our “Closer Than Ever” program helps former students complete their degrees. We have new scholarship opportunities to assist TAMIU students in their comeback story. Programs and emergency grants are here for those experiencing financial hardship, housing and food insecurity, medical expenses, and lack of educational support/supplies. Here’s more.
• Did you or anyone you know participate in a Reading the Globe program over the past 15 years? We’re about to celebrate the program’s 15th Anniversary and we’d like to hear from our RTG alums about their experience. Find out more.
• Free COVID-19 Testing Kits are available at the offices of Student Health, and in lobby/reception areas in Environmental Health and Safety (inside our Physical Plant) and the University Police Department.
• Heading outdoors during peak heat periods? Stay hydrated and apply sunscreen regularly. Light-colored, loose-fitting clothing and hats provide additional protection during this record-breaking heatwave.

Dustdevils, Keep It Cool!
