As the University prepared to celebrate its milestone 50th Anniversary, it sought innovative ways to share its multi-faceted history and impact. The Laredo Morning Times presented a novel opportunity for a monthly series of focused issues tracing the University's powerful timeline.

Working closely with the University's office of Public Relations, Marketing and Information Services, Times editors and reporters were able to reach out to individuals who shared their perspective on the University's development and ongoing growth. They also tapped into the University's archives to highlight important photos and memorabilia.

Here, you can take a look at the entire series and share in the University's story.
