RECOGNIZING DIRECTOR FOR THE COLLEGE ASSISTANCE MIGRANT PROGRAM, MARY
TREVINO
______
HON. HENRY CUELLAR
of texas
in the house of representatives
Friday, July 9, 2021
Mr. CUELLAR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the achievements of Mary Trevino in consideration of her forthcoming retirement as Director for the College Assistance Migrant Program at Texas A&M International University (TAMIU). While her professional capacity at TAMIU will come to an end, her dedication to higher education and philanthropy will endure in her students, colleagues, and greater communities.
In 1968, Ms. Trevino graduated from Raymond & Tirza Martin High School, located in Laredo, TX. Thereafter, she attended Texas A&I University in Laredo, graduating in May 1972 with a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education with a certificate in Secondary Mathematics and History. Following graduation, she went on to collect over 43 years of administrative experience at TAMIU. In her many roles at the university, she has served as Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs, Associate Vice President for Student Services, Director of Institutional Research & Effectiveness, and Special Assistant to the President.
As Director for the College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP), Ms. Trevino serves students who are migratory or seasonal farmworkers and often the first generation in their families to attend college. CAMP emboldens students to achieve a higher education by providing collaborative academic support services across the university.
Accordingly, Ms. Trevino's efforts have earned her numerous honors and recognitions. For example, she was named as Outstanding Administrative Employee at Laredo State University in 1992; she served as Board President for Communities in Schools from 1998 to 1999 and 2003 through 2004; she served as President for the TAMIU Alumni Association from 1992 to 1993, and she served as President of United Way of Laredo from 2009 to 2010.
Her penchant for learning and teaching and her connection to TAMIU has also inspired her family; two of her four children share her alumnus status at TAMIU and currently hold teaching positions in public schools.
I am pleased to congratulate Mary Trevino on over 50 years of service to TAMIU and the Laredo community. Ms. Trevino's devotion to higher education is an impressive achievement. I wish her the best of luck in all her future endeavors, and Go Dustdevils.
Madam Speaker, again, I recognize the career and character of Mary Trevino.
