One of the strongest bonds between the University and the greater community is its alumni base. Alumni have experienced the University first-hand and have spent many of their most memorable, formative and influential years involved with the University. By 2015, Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi will provide a climate of lifelong alumni involvement with their alma mater. Current students, likewise, will thrive in a culture of involvement that fosters a commitment of service and contribution to the University.
