OUR MISSION Texas A&M International University (TAMIU), a Member of The Texas A&M University System, prepares students for leadership roles in an increasingly complex, culturally diverse state, national, and global society.

OUR HISTORY In August of 1970, students were accepted at what was then-Texas A&I University at Laredo. While initially a “center” under then-Texas A&I University, this was the start of a legacy of higher education for South Texas. The focus then was to address a demand in teacher education and business disciplines. Texas A&I University at Laredo was organized under the upper-level concept of higher education, offering junior and senior level course work, providing a local bachelor’s degree opportunity. The upper-level University later expanded to include graduate degree programs. In September 1977, the University became Laredo State University, and its “center” status was officially removed in 1987. As the University grew, its scope widened and an expanded faculty was recruited to deliver new programs. The University became a Member of The Texas A&M University System on September 1, 1989, and its name changed to Texas A&M International University in 1993. The 74th Texas Legislature approved an expansion to four-year status in the Fall of 1995, further authorizing the University to develop joint degree programs with Mexican and Canadian institutions of higher education. Additional authorization has permitted the development of doctoral level programs. In 1995 the University welcomed its first freshmen and sophomore students, inaugurated a new 300-acre campus in northeast Laredo and marked its 25th anniversary. The University celebrated its 50th Anniversary as an institution of higher education and its 25th Anniversary on its northeast Laredo campus in 2019-20. For nearly 55 years, TAMIU has prided itself on delivering an accessible, affordable, and exceptional higher education for all. Its innovative campus and programs help students harness the power of dreams to create the reality they want and so richly deserve.”

ACADEMIC COSTUMES AND REGALIA A Brief History and Chronology By Dr. Stephen Lunce and Dr. Jerry Thompson Academic costumes of today have a history of nearly eight hundred years. In Medieval Europe men and women typically wore gowns or robes. There was a great deal of variety in color and material, depending upon the position and wealth of the wearer. Gradually there developed distinctive gowns for various professions, trades and religious orders. Students and teachers in many medieval universities such as Paris, Oxford and Cambridge organized themselves into guilds. Gradually the academic costume became distinctive for Bachelors of Arts (the apprentices), Masters of Arts (the teachers), and Doctors (teachers who had completed postgraduate studies). Most of the distinctive characteristics appeared in the hood, which was originally a practical element of dress, but which evolved into a separate and purely ornamental article, draped over the shoulder and down the back. The academic cap was a later development. It was first conferred as a symbol of the M. A. Degree. Some of these Master’s caps were stiff, some soft, some square, some round with a tuft in the center. Today’s tassel is an elaboration of the tuft. Although round caps are still used at some universities, Oxford University’s “mortar board” style is more common. The dress worn by faculty and graduates during Commencement ceremonies is based upon costumes used in 14th and 15th century universities, particularly Oxford and Cambridge in England. This style of academic dress and accoutrements has been used in the United States from colonial times, and it was standardized by an Intercollegiate Code in 1895. Like the military of medieval times with its pages, squires, and knights, the academic world has long recognized three basic levels of dignity and achievement; these are: undergraduates, bachelors, and masters. The distinction between masters and doctors is a relatively recent phenomenon; both masters and doctors levels of achievement imply the right to teach. The variety of styles and colors seen in a faculty procession reflects the fact that each university retains its own distinguishing customs as especially revealed by the design of its doctoral robes. When a university is granted the right to confer doctoral degrees, one of the privileges that accompanies that right is the opportunity to design unique and distinctive regalia for its graduates. 12th/13th Centuries: Origin of academic dress – the dress of the scholar (student or teacher) is the dress of a cleric. Long robes are needed for warmth in unheated buildings; likewise, the hood provided warmth for the tonsured head. Eventually, a skullcap replaces the hood, 1321. University of Colombia stipulates that all “Doctors, Licentiates and Bachelors’ wear robes.” 14th Century: Regulations of certain colleges in England forbid “excess in apparel” and prescribed a long gown for all scholars. Oxford and Cambridge prescribe a definite academic dress and exercise university control over all details. 19th Century (late): Assignment of specific colors to signify certain faculties is standardized in the United States. 1887: Gardner Cotrell Leonard’s designed gowns adopted by Williams College. The standardization of American system of academic dress has begun. 1895: Representatives of leading institutions, including Leonard, meeting as the Intercollegiate Commission, define a system of academic apparel. In the meeting, held at Columbia University, the first academic costume code for different disciplines is established. 1932: American Council on Education approves the costume code established by the Intercollegiate Commission. 1959: Academic costume code is updated. 1986: The American Council on Education committee adds the following sentence to the code to clarify the use of dark blue for the Ph.D. Degree. “In the case of the Doctor of Philosophy Degree, the dark blue color is used to represent the mastery of the discipline of learning and scholarship in any field that is attested to by the awarding of this degree and is not intended to represent the field of philosophy.” Ceremonial Mace Dating back to medieval times when they were used as weapons of war, maces are now symbols of institutional authority and used on ceremonial occasions. The TAMIU Mace is a wood staff crowned with laurel leaves and anchored by a series of silver bands naming the University’s presidents. It signifies the University’s power to protect knowledge against those seeking to undermine or exploit it, while also representing TAMIU’s commitment to intellectual honesty and integrity and the civic trust acknowledged with its display and use. Memory Stoles Memory Stoles, worn around the neck throughout the graduation ceremony, are a way for graduates to share this memorable occasion with a special person. Wear it with pride and give the Memory Stole to someone who helped you in your personal quest for knowledge.

ALMA MATER SUNG TO THE THEME FROM THE FOURTH MOVEMENT OF BEETHOVEN’S NINTH SYMPHONY A Song for Texas A&M International University Near to Rio Grande’s waters, stately towers above the plain, Stands our noble Alma Mater, wisdom raised for all to gain. Binding nations, hearts and visions, aspirations ever new, Hail to Thee, our Alma Mater! Hail to Thee, dear TAMIU! Here, ’neath sun and gentle breezes, dove and deer lodge safely by, May Thy children, safe in wisdom, flourish ever ’neath Thy sky. Pledge we faith and homage ever, joined in our diversity, May time ne’er efface the memory of our University! Binding nations, hearts and visions, aspirations ever new, Hail to Thee, our Alma Mater! Hail to Thee, dear TAMIU! ©1996 Lyrics by Ray M. Keck III, Ph.D. and family President Emeritus and Professor of Spanish
