                                 ______
                                 

                           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.
