New majors, new sports, and new buildings will all come from the guidance of Dr. Ross Alexander. Dr. Ross Alexander is the new President of Texas A&M University-Texarkana. He has an esteemed resume in higher education and doesn’t seem to be slowing down. TAMUT is changing now and for the better as he plans to expand the campus and the enrollment.

Dr. Alexander was looking for relocation and Texas was on the list. He is no stranger to change in scenery as he has attended several universities, as a student, part of faculty, and staff. However, he sees the support that higher education gets in Texas and knows that the A&M system takes care of their schools, so it was a no-brainer.

Dr. Alexander was given a task from Chancellor Sharp: “Grow the University on all fronts.”. The new President intends to do so. He wants to streamline majors with major industry leaders to ensure students get jobs fresh out of college. He wants students to want to come to this university, stay, and graduate from this branch of the A&M system.

The next installations to hit the campus of TAMUT will be a Coed E-sports arena, Dance and cheer teams, men’s and women’s golf, and an athletic complex to bring all sports offered to the campus of TAMUT. Along with new majors in Nursing, STEM, business, social service, and social work. We can expect to see most of this in effect around Fall 2025.
