Successful partnerships bring mutually beneficial outcomes. In the Coastal Bend, a classic university/community partnership has evolved—one that has resulted in an ongoing, interdependent relationship bringing an enhanced quality of life and preparing students for civic engagement. The thrilling performance of a basketball team against nationally known opponents, the performance of nationally recognized musicians at the Performing Arts Center—these belong to the greater community, as does the University.

Working with the greater community, by 2015 the Corpus Christi community and A&M-Corpus Christi will strive to make the Coastal Bend one of the most desired places in the country to live, learn and work.
