The Office of Student Conduct & Community Engagement (SCCE) helps coordinate community and volunteer projects to assist the Laredo area and South Texas region. The purpose is to promote community engagement as a fundamental part of learning and to cultivate a University commitment to help those in need.

SCCE also encourages TAMIU faculty to promote service in the classroom. Students participate in volunteer efforts to acquire leadership skills, critical-thinking skills and social responsibility that will facilitate and promote their academic and professional success. Below you will find service opportunities, in addition to other co-curricular programs to enhance student learning.
