TEXARKANA, Texas – Blue lights shone again on Texas A&M University System campuses across the state on Tuesday in recognition of World Teachers’ Day.

The 11 universities in the A&M system, the RELLIS campus in Bryan and the Texas A&M University Health Science Center (Texas A&M Health) illuminated a total of 30 iconic buildings and landmarks.

World Teachers’ Day was designed by UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, in 1994. The day is an opportunity to celebrate the teaching profession around the world, to take stock of achievements and draw attention to the voices of teachers who are at the heart of efforts to achieve the global education goal of leaving no one behind.

“Graduates from Texas A&M University System campus education colleges are in high demand because they are so well prepared,” A&M Chancellor John Sharp said in a press release. “Our graduates are sought after by school districts across Texas because they know our students are getting the tools they need to be ready on the first day of class,” said Sharp. “We are preparing teachers to make the world a better place, one child at a time.”

“We are proud of the work being done by educators across Texas, across the country and around the world,” said TAMUT President Dr. Emily Cutrer. “What a profound impact professional educators will have in the future. We are especially proud of our A&M-Texarkana graduates who teach and hold administrative positions throughout Texas and beyond.”
