The Wall for
On-time Graduation
Some students dream of seeing their name in lights,
but at TAMIU, dedicated students completing their
undergraduate degree in four years see their
name on a wall, all 18 feet of it.
The students’ names are included in a special
permanent display known as the Student
Success Wall in TAMIU’s Senator Judith Zaffirini
Student Success Center on the second floor.
Dr. Conchita Hickey, executive director of University
College, said the Student Success Wall bears the names
of on-time sophomores, juniors and seniors that are

they complete their undergraduate degree, the closer
