TAMIU TRiO STEM Students, Alums Pursue Summer Internships, Graduate Study Opportunities
Texas A&M International University (TAMIU) TRiO STEM program students are making significant gains through summer internship and graduate opportunities.
This summer, Luis Díaz-García, a TRIO STEM participant, student mentor and Biology major, was accepted into the UT Health Houston – Summer 2025 Innovation in Cancer Prevention Research Experience for Undergraduates at UTHealth Houston.
The internship affords students the opportunity to help trainees ask important research questions while applying cutting-edge methods to stimulate innovative thinking to their projects.
Recent Spring 2025 TRiO STEM graduates are also paving pathways after graduation.
Alexandra Ash, who earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology, has been accepted into the Master of Science in Microbiology program at Texas A&M University.
Dalyssa Solis, a recent nursing graduate, recently began her position as a medical-surgical registered nurse at Methodist Hospital in San Antonio, and joined the institution’s New Graduate Nurse Residency program.
TAMIU TRiO STEM program director Alejandra González lauded the students and program alums for their dedication to their career pathways and the impact of the University’s TRiO STEM experience.
“Each TRiO STEM participant’s journey of resilience, courage, hard work, and dedication to their dreams is unique. The TRiO STEM team believes in the capacity of each participant and stands firmly to guide and support them throughout their journey,” said González.
TRiO STEM is a federally funded Student Support Services program committed to the success of first-generation, low-income, or scholars with disabilities within the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math), Nursing and Health Science fields.
Various services are available to TAMIU TRiO STEM students, including faculty and peer mentoring, career preparation and assistance, early registration, summer pathways, scholarships, and more.
