Howdy partners, have you ever wanted to wanted to help students make the same great choice you did and become a part of the Texas A&M Texarkana family? On Friday September 11, 2015, Texas A&M-Texarkana held a meeting for the open house scheduled for October. The meeting was held in room 116 for all volunteers to attend and hash out the details to promote the campus to incoming students. The theme for the open house is western cowboys, so students worked together to come up with decoration and game ideas. The meeting was open to current students looking to do more volunteering and help get the university\u2019s name out there.<\/p>\n

Current students, ranging from freshmen to seniors plan to help promote the university to high school seniors looking for a fun college experience. The college students will help the upcoming seniors decide on a possible major. The high school students will get the opportunity to tour the campus and learn more about campus life and all it has to offer.<\/p>\n

The open house hopes to promote the university as a diverse and welcome environment to new students. All the current Texas A&M-Texarkana students seemed eager to provide the best experience for everyone attending. The open house will encourage the parents to get involved with the activities along with their children, because the parents are a part of the education process. The students and faculty involved in the first open house meeting were a dedicated group. They want to make the new students feel comfortable making the transition from high to college as seamless as possible. All the thought, preparations, and time put into the open house is sure to make it the best it can be.<\/p>\n

The open house is set for October 10, 2015. If anyone would like to volunteer to help out, they are more than welcome and can contact Ellen Wood by email ewood@tamut.edu. She is always looking for more volunteers to make this open house the best it can be. Everyone is welcome to attend the meetings for the open house and make suggestions. The meeting is a great way to make new friends and become involved in campus activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
