NEW Website + Video: Celebrating 50K UTRGV Grads!
Dear UTRGV community,
This institution has created many special moments since opening our doors in 2015. As we approach our 10th anniversary, we are proud to celebrate another milestone:
50,000 UTRGV degrees awarded!
In honor of our first 50K, we developed this website — a place to celebrate the stories and significance of our alumni’s achievements. Over the next few months, you will find inspiring stories that showcase how UTRGV grads are using their education to shape The Future of Texas. Like Raquel Perez (Class of 2019; Masters, 2023), an exemplary alum who is promoting bilingualism in the community by teaching in two languages. Click here to view Raquel’s story.
UTRGV Employees
If you are a current UTRGV employee who earned an undergraduate, graduate, or doctoral degree here between Fall 2015 and Fall 2023, we want to hear your story!
To participate, visit the 50K UTRGV Grads — Your Story channel (within UTRGV Announcements on Microsoft Teams) where you can connect with fellow Vaqueros and post about your journey. We’ve even provided some prompts/questions (pinned at the top of the channel) in case you don’t know where to start.
As President Bailey said during the Fall 2023 Commencement, surpassing this mark is an enormous accomplishment for our institution and a testament to our mission of service, innovation, and access.
Here’s to the first 50,000 UTRGV graduates and the next generation of Vaqueros!
