Hey Dustdevils!
- Finals Week starts this Tuesday, May 5. Dustdevils, we encourage you to stay focused, manage your time wisely and take care of your well-being as you finish the semester strong. We know that it can be a stressful time of year, but please remember that you would not have been admitted to this university unless we knew that you could be successful. All of the faculty and staff are cheering you on, so be confident and reach out for help when you need it. Our Spring Final Exam schedule is available at https://www.tamiu.edu/registrar/finalexamschedule.shtml

Fuel up before final exams and stop by for your maroon pancakes!
