TAMU-CC is a vibrant, relatively young doctoral granting university and Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI). With approximately 11,000 students from 48 states and 54 foreign nations, and 1,318 faculty and staff, it combines a heritage of teaching excellence with innovation in research, scholarly activity, and community engagement. In late 2018, TAMU-CC achieved R2 Doctoral University-High Research Activity classification by the Carnegie Commission of Higher Education, which further promotes the University’s culture of innovation and research. The University has begun to strengthen and grow its infrastructure to support existing and promising new programs. Services and operations dedicated to student recruitment, retention, and welfare will be expanded to meet increased student demands and enhance the educational experience for all. The University has recently launched a new strategic plan, Islander Impact 2030. The University has a budget of more than $275 million.
The next Executive Director will be an energetic leader and with a strategic mindset to take the Performing Arts Center (PAC) to the next level.
