To all undergraduate and graduate students:

            For the third year, Texas A&M University-Commerce is offering a
"travel-abroad" course to Central Mexico. The class starts the Monday after
Spring Graduation (May 15) and we return to the U.S. on Saturday, June 3.
Summer Term I classes begin Monday, June 5. The class is cross-listed as a
400 and a 500 level course. Check with your advisor.

            There will be opening meetings on campus on Wednesday, February
