Office of Alumni Relations
The Office of Alumni Relations provides services to numerous A&M- Texarkana graduates. This office encourages a continuing affiliation with the University. The progress of A&M- Texarkana graduates is tracked trough alumni communications and surveys. The University measures its success, in part, by determining the effect of an A&M- Texarkana degree on the careers of its alumni. The Office of Alumni Relations works very closely with the Alumni Association which is an independent incorporated organization.
Meet Katie Slamer, Texas A&M University-Texarkana alumna and the University Police Department’s newest full-time police officer. A 2024 graduate with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice, Katie was already working for the university as a police cadet, and enrolled at the police academy immediately after graduating. She graduated from the academy on October 10, 2024, and was sworn into service as a police officer 5 days later. While at the academy she won the Top Gun award for having the highest marksmanship scores in her class.
When Alex Oviedo was a freshman in high school in his home country of Mexico, he decided he wanted to come to the United States to attend college. He began the hard work he knew was necessary to make that dream a reality. As he got closer to the end of his high-school career he learned of A&M-Texarkana and its tennis team through some connections in amateur tennis competitions.
Thank you, Alex, and Lydia Oviedo, for all you brought to the A&M-Texarkana community. We will miss your presence here but know you will find much success in your future endeavors. #Soar Eagles.
