Texas A&M International University students signed an over-sized Thank You card on campus Wednesday, expressing gratitude to University donors, the community and the State of Texas during “TAMIU Thank You Day.” Students Omar Rodriguez and Celina Calderon add their thanks. Tuesday marked the day in the Spring Semester when University gifts and State support begin to cover students’ education costs. Organizers noted tuition covers only 23% of TAMIU students’ education costs. The remaining 39% is covered by gifts to the University, while 38% in support comes from the State.
