Message from the Provost

It is my sincere honor to serve as Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs at Texas A&M International University (TAMIU). As an alumna of TAMIU and part of the first cohort of students to take classes on this beautiful campus when it opened its doors in 1995, I am immensely proud to be a graduate of this institution. I am equally proud to serve TAMIU as both a faculty member and administrator for the past 20 years.

TAMIU has been a trailblazer for student success across the region, the state, and nation. Accolades continuously demonstrate that our University offers an exceptional education at an affordable price. Our graduates are also leaders in their chosen professions and have blazed a trail of success across many industries and professions.

Academic Affairs plays a crucial role in student success as it offers an array of course offerings to ensure that education is accessible to all types of students, both traditional and non-traditional. Together with faculty, Academic Affairs assesses workforce needs and proposes new degree programs, such as those in business, education, nursing and health sciences, as well as in the arts, engineering and sciences.

Finally, Academic Affairs recruits outstanding faculty to provide world-class education inside and outside the classroom for our students. Our faculty are also trailblazers, earning acclaim for teaching effectiveness, research, and service to their field.

As Provost, my top priority is advancing the success of our students, first through enabling affordable and accessible courses for them to pursue their dreams, and by actively supporting their academic path to timely graduation via effective student support services such as advising, mentoring, and tutoring. To promote an outstanding experience and successful outcomes for our students, I will also prioritize faculty and provide them with the resources and necessary support to be successful in and outside the classroom.

TAMIU is an amazing University, and daily demonstrates an unwavering commitment to its students, staff, and faculty. I am so proud to be a Dustdevil and to work together to move forward as a beacon of higher education, as a community, and as a family.
