UEDA Summit 2012: Cinderella Who Became a Warrior on a Mission: The Birth of a University with a Mission of Academics and Economic Development (Nigliazzo, Farris, Kliewer, Packer & Mercy)
Cinderella who became a warrior on a mission summarizes the transformation of Texas A&M University-Central Texas (TAMUCT) from a small college serving the Central Texas region to a nationally recognized university collaborating with Fort Hood and other organizations. Key events in TAMUCT's timeline included becoming accredited in 1976, establishing as an independent university in 2009, and opening new buildings in 2012. TAMUCT aims to provide affordable, accessible education while improving quality of life through partnerships centered around its Regional Leadership Center.
