we approach the holidays, we have found many reasons to be thankful. At A&M-Commerce, we are blessed to have alumni and friends who are proud of their education, and genuinely appreciate their overall experience attending school in Commerce, Texas. A&M-Commerce takes pride in its rich heritage of providing educational opportunities to the scientists, businessmen and women, engineers, and educators who help mold this country. I am especially thankful to our alumni who truly make a difference for future Lions by volunteering their time to serve on advisory boards, assist in career opportunities, attend special functions and athletic events, lobby for quality education in Northeast Texas,
and provide much needed financial support. Your investments of both time and money help to maintain a level of academic excellence at A&M-Commerce that is second to none. For you, we are most grateful.
For you, we are most grateful. Please take a moment to reflect on what this university has meant to you and your family. I’m certain you too will have another reason to be thankful this holiday season. Sincerely,
Randy VanDeven Vice President, Institutional Advancement
