New magazine hits stands at A&M-Victoria
Victoria’s university has started a new chapter as Texas A&M University-Victoria, and the university is proud to announce that the rebranded, most recent issue of the university’s magazine is here.
Texas A&M University-Victoria Seventy-Three is the university’s official campus magazine. Previously known as UHV Magazine, the publication was renamed to recognize the university’s founding in 1973 while celebrating the new campus identity as part of The Texas A&M University System.
“We are excited to bring this new issue of the university’s magazine to campus,” said Brittany Marsh, director of Marketing & Communications. “A&M-Victoria is a great place with plenty of wonderful stories to tell, and we are glad to share those stories with our community. No matter what the name is, we are proud to be Victoria’s university, and we look forward to continuing to share the stories of success from our students, alumni, employees and programs for years to come.”
The magazine features a wide array of articles, including student features, alumni profiles, a look at the support services the university offers its students, a profile about a family that is all-in for Victoria’s university and even a “Meet the Artist” profile of Dan Glanz, the artist who created the new jaguar statue on campus. In addition, there is a promotional item in the back of the magazine: a sticker sheet featuring the new logos and rebranded designs for Texas A&M University-Victoria.
This issue of the magazine is unique because it strikes the balance between the university’s previous identity as the University of Houston-Victoria and its new role as A&M-Victoria. One of the first articles in the publication is a feature about the transition process and the goals that Texas A&M University System leadership has for helping the university to move forward through this process.
“We have a new name and a new logo, and we are affiliated with a new system. Our mascot is still the jaguar, and our color is still red. We are still the same, and we will build on our 50-year history of excellence in higher education and move into the next chapter of the institution,” said Jim Nelson, the university’s interim president. “Our faculty and staff have one objective in mind: help our students succeed. And that they do very well. Over the next couple years, you will see new degree programs in agribusiness, aviation, and engineering. Our goal is to make higher education readily available to the young men and women in the region and to build our needed regional workforce. Together, we in the Crossroads community will make Texas A&M University-Victoria our university.”
Copies of the magazine are available for free in various locations across the university’s campus. For more information or to request a copy, contact Marketing & Communications at 361-570-4341.
