‘Discover TAMIU’ Shares the University with Community, Offering Fun for All
Now in its 11th year, “Discover TAMIU 2025” provided a day of fun, free activities for the entire family, Saturday, March 29, 2025, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Texas A&M International University’s north Laredo campus.
Sunshine welcomed crowds to enjoy the free event open to the community with over 125 activities throughout campus. Event highlights included a coloring mural, DIY graduation cap designing, an origami paper station, slime décor, make-your-own piggy banks, a video game party, face painting, laser tag, virtual reality activities with TAMIU Nursing students, and cheering lessons and routines with TAMIU cheerleaders.
Discover TAMIU '25 was presented with generous support from PNC Bank, which partnered with TAMIU for the second year in a row.
A dedicated website shared the spectrum of fun events for all ages at http://www.tamiu.edu/discovertamiu/. It included a search capability to help attendees find their favorite activities, group planning, and a detailed campus map.
Discover TAMIU '25 also included free performances, live science demonstrations, elementary school music and dance groups, the TAMIU Azure Saxophone Quartet, and TAMIU Cheer and Dance teams.
Discover TAMIU follows five distinct, segmented ‘Pathways’ attendees could explore, including dedicated activities such as Artistic Avenue, Business Boulevard, the International U, Scientific Journey, and Spirited Speedway.
The outreach effort is designed to help the community “discover” their hometown University and its broad range of degree programs, resources, and services available, said organizer Scheiby Gonzalez Fisher, associate vice president for Enrollment Management.
“The TAMIU community always looks forward to this annual opportunity to welcome the community at large to our campus. We know they’ll ‘discover’ a magical place that makes a tremendous difference in our community by changing lives daily through higher education. TAMIU is a treasure and we were happy to once again share our story and opportunities with all our visitors. We've already started planning for Discover TAMIU '26,” Fisher noted.
