Family Involvement
Texas A&M University-Victoria Family Involvement ties students’ families to resources aimed at helping students succeed academically and socially while in school. A&M-Victoria also offers its students and their families the opportunity to connect with the university and its faculty and staff through an event called A&M-Victoria Family Weekend, which is held each academic year. This event provides families ample interaction with A&M-Victoria faculty and staff, university programs and Athletics in an effort to build a sense of pride and support for A&M-Victoria students.
