Good Afternoon Dustdevils,

I am pleased to share today’s Trailblazer Weekly Bulletin as your new President.

My name is Dr. Christopher Maynard and I arrived on campus last Wednesday, October 1. Over the past several days, I have had an exciting time walking our beautiful campus and meeting with students, faculty, and staff. I very much appreciate the warm welcome and have clearly seen what you already know: TAMIU is a great university community with people who care about each other and take great pride in this university. Thank you for welcoming me into the TAMIU family! If you have not already seen it, please watch the video below that shares my First Day.

We have an exciting week ahead and I hope you will join us for an array of activities and events that underscore the unique University experience that is TAMIU. 

This is Healthy Relationships Week with a Superhero-themed Consent Con Oct. 6 – 9.  In addition to healthy relationships, we’ll explore communication, and consent with a heroic twist. See what’s on offer below.

Tonight, you’ll have a special opportunity to hear from former City Manager of San Antonio Sheryl Sculley who will share her thoughts on urban growth, civic leadership, and fiscal responsibility as part of a new TAMIU Community Engagement Lecture Series open to the public. Details below, here’s more.

Tuesday morning, Oct. 7 join us at 9:45 a.m. at the Acequia Fountain for Milestones, a TAMIU Celebration that kicks off our 55th Anniversary and shares our historic Fall enrollment. I am looking forward to celebrating with you...and there will be commemorative cookies!

Also, check out Cybersecurity Awareness Month which starts Tuesday in the STC Rotunda from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

On Wednesday, Oct. 8 at 7 p.m. in the CFPA Recital Hall, enjoy “The Search for Dark Matter: Collision Course – Particle Physics on the Energy Frontier,” with a world-renowned authority on particle physics, Dr. Timothy R. Andeen, associate professor of particle physics at the University of Texas at Austin. He will be exploring the surprises that Texas researchers are uncovering when looking at the smallest building blocks of the universe.

What’s next? Take the next step at our Graduate School Open House Thursday from 5 – 7 p.m. at the ZSC.

How about making a run for a “ghoulish” good time? TAMIU’s Rec Center will host the  5th Annual Zombie Run this Saturday, Oct. 11 and registration is underway. It’s happening at the Jovita Idar El Progreso Park (Bartlett Soccer Complex) from 8 a.m. – 12 noon. Check out the spooky video below.

COMING UP – Don’t Be Self-Conchas (about Financial Aid) with an event happening Wednesday, Oct. 15 featuring free conchas and answers to all your financial aid questions from 9 a.m. – 11 a.m. 

Our annual Maroon Madness returns Tuesday, Oct. 21 from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.  in the KCB. Meet our Basketball teams and coaches...and possibly win free tuition!

I hope that you have a great week. If you see me around campus, please introduce yourself. If you take a selfie, please tag @txamiuprez!

 

Let’s Go Dustdevils!
