14 TAMIU, LC TEAM UP FOR 16TH ANNUAL 'MAKE A DIFFERENCE DAY' Some 300+ volunteers from TAMIU and Laredo College joined to create a lasting impact in their community during Make a Difference Day 2025 held Saturday, Oct. 25, 2025. Now in its 16th year, TAMIU and LC students, faculty, and staff, focused on three distinct areas, including downtown Laredo, the City of Laredo Health Department and its surrounding neighborhood, and the Larga Vista Community Center. Planned activities included tree planting, bulk trash collection, mulch application, house painting, yard cleanup, gardening, wood staining, and graffiti removal. Additionally, students from both institutions jointly hosted a Kids Clothing Donation Drive benefiting the Larga Vista Community Center. This annual event, led by the University’s Office of Student Affairs in collaboration with the University’s Student Government Association's Leaders Organizing Volunteer Events Committee, is made possible through the support of community partners, including the City of Laredo, Webb County, Keep Laredo Beautiful, H.E.B, Laredo Main Street, the Outlet Shoppes at Laredo, and Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages. Since 2010, University volunteers have worked on various community-wide projects benefiting groups such as Habitat for Humanity, Volunteers Serving the Need, the Laredo Animal Care Facility, the Ruthe B. Cowl Rehabilitation Center, and many more. Learn more at go.tamiu.edu/maddandtbe.
