Alumni Association Awards
Each year, the Texas A&M University-Texarkana Alumni Association celebrates excellence within our Eagle community by recognizing outstanding individuals through three signature honors: the Distinguished Alumni Award, the Emerging Alumni Award, and the Distinguished Faculty Award. These awards highlight alumni and faculty who have made a significant impact in their professions, communities, and in service to the University.
Nominations for the 2025 awards are now closed. The nomination process will reopen in summer 2026, and we look forward to celebrating another group of remarkable Eagles at that time. In the meantime, we invite you to view this year’s award winners and join us in honoring their achievements.
