An Important Message from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi

The recent death of George Floyd, a former Texas A&M-Kingsville student, weighs heavily upon us and the nation. We join Governor Abbott, Chancellor John Sharp, and the many others who condemn the actions that led to this tragedy. 

As a University, we remain steadfast in our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We provide educational experiences that include the development of engaged citizens. We graduate students who are critical thinkers and problem solvers. We prepare leaders that strive to create a more equitable and just society. These qualities and this type of leadership are crucial to the future of our country. Still, there is more we can do, and there is more we will do.

As a first step, the Division of Student Engagement and Success will host a virtual forum on Thursday, June 4, at noon. This forum will present students the opportunity to engage in dialogue about patterns of violence and systemic racism found in the recent deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery. More details about the forum are forthcoming.

Additionally, we will explore concrete strategies for addressing these complex issues with University and Corpus Christi law enforcement officials.
