Newest Aggie campus gets $25 million boost
It’s official: The University of Houston-Victoria soon will become Texas A&M University– Victoria, the 12th university in The Texas A&M University System. Following the end of the governor’s signing period in June, the A&M System announced the transition — a move years in the making.
As part of this milestone, Texas A&M University System Chancellor John Sharp also announced that Texas A&M University-Victoria received $25 million in the new state budget for the effort, and commended the work of Victoria- area State Senator Lois W. Kolkhorst in the Senate Finance Committee for securing the funds needed to grow the university.
