Position:
Texas A&M International University invites applications and nominations for the position of Vice President for Institutional Advancement (VPIA)—a rare and powerful opportunity to shape philanthropy, engagement, and institutional impact at one of the nation’s most distinctive and mission-driven public universities.

Letters of interest and nominations should be submitted directly to Anthem Executive. Correspondence should include a curriculum vitae and a letter of interest describing relevant experience and interest in the position.
