" Welcome to TAMIU and the College of Arts & Science. The other department chairs and I, along with the faculty, take great pride in the growth of our university and the success of our students. At TAMIU growth and change seem to be the norm. Growth can be disconcerting to some and we work to see that, no matter the changes, students remain our top priority. We appreciate the importance that education has in everyone’s life, not only for financial reward, but to create happy and meaningful lives." |
