TOGETHER
WE WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley is our home away from home. We have campuses, programs, academic buildings, and cultural centers throughout the Valley, connecting the distinct communities here, helping us grow together. The Valley is our starting place, and we reach out from here, across Texas, across borders and throughout the world. International students are drawn to UTRGV and as a global university, we send students out to study abroad. UTRGV students
go on to graduate school and careers that draw on the cultural fluency they perfected at UTRGV. Our engineering and marine and coastal studies programs continue to expand. The community health and environmental work taking place, as a result, will influence global practices. UTRGV is part of these changes, gathering the best minds to the Valley, collaborating with researchers around the world and connecting students with opportunities in the private industry.
