A&M-Commerce to Host UNCF Tour


Texas A&M University-Commerce is partnering with United Negro College
Fund (UNCF) and Wells Fargo to help create more opportunities for
students.

The tour platform was created to empower a movement among young people,
motivating them toward academic excellence, personal responsibility and
fiscal health through relevant program content and celebrity engagement.
Now in its fourth year, the tour delivers holistic touch points,
engaging young people at crucial life stages through self-efficacy,
personal finance, college readiness and career success messaging.

"Thanks to Dr. Mary Hendrix, Vice President of Student Access and
Success, we will now host the UNCF Empower Me Tour on our campus." The
EMT program content areas are financial education, college readiness,
career readiness, entrepreneurship, health and wellness, service and
philanthropy.

The university is hoping to build greater awareness of A&M-Commerce to
surrounding areas by hosting the Dallas, Texas tour date of this
national event in Commerce. More than 1,000 event attendees are
expected, and there will be many sponsor engagement opportunities,
access to college and career services, workshops, and celebrity panel
discussions.

The UNCF Empower Me Tour will be held at A&M-Commerce Saturday, February
23, 2013.
