Office of the President

GOOD MORNING DUSTDEVILS!

Here’s your Trailblazer Weekly Bulletin for Monday, February 17, 2025.

We’re currently working to resolve power interruptions that have impacted operations for the Fine and Performing Arts (FPA) Building and the Senator Judith Zaffirini Student Success Center (ZSC). Scheduled FPA classes will be meeting in alternate locations posted on main entrance doors of the FPA. Staff will be available in the ZSC to assist students. Services and functions will be delivered, but delays may occur as employees are temporarily relocated during this period. Updates will be provided by official University email.

Some highlights for this week @ TAMIU:

This Wednesday, the inaugural TAMIU Borderlands Photography Show hosts a reception from 5 – 7 p.m. in TAMIU’s Center for the Fine and Performing Arts Gallery. It’s free of charge and open to the public.

News to Use:

Are you a planner? Did you know you can ALREADY start planning for your Maymester and Summer Courses? Maymester and Summer schedules are available. Set up advising appointments and register for classes with details here and on the Registration Hub. Just ahead... the Fall Scheduledrops Wednesday, February 28!

Coming Up:

On Friday, Feb. 28. Dr. Ken Tobin, professor of Geology, interim associate dean for the College of Arts and Sciences and a prolific researcher, will provide insight into his TAMIU-ARC grant award, “Tracking Graduate Student Success at a Hispanic Serving Institution,” as part of a lecture for the Office of Research and Sponsored Projects’ Spring Seminar Series.

As our community observes our traditional Washington’s Birthday Celebration, I leave you with this thought from George Washington:

"Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all."

Make It a Great Week Dustdevils!

Juan J. Castillo,

Interim President
