TAME Alumni

"The TAME program for me can be summed up in these famous quotes:  "To climb steep hills requires a slow pace at first", Shakespeare; "They can because they think they can", Virgil; and "Along with success comes a reputation for wisdom", Euripides.  So what does that mean:  TAME taught me I can do anything that I put my mind to...TAME can open many doors for a bright future!"

"I have enjoyed all the opportunities that have been afforded me through TAME and hope to one day return as a mentor to other students."

-Lubbock Chapter Alumnus & Scholarship Recipient

"To me TAME was more then just an out of school program.  They helped keep my head in the books and my sights on the path to success.  They helped feed my interest in math and science and introduced me to the many fields of Engineering.  In December 2005 I achieved a dream by becoming the first in my family of six children to graduate from college with not only a Bachelors degree but a Bachelors of Science in Electrical Engineering and on commencement when the President of the University recognized my achievements I made it a point to stress that my achievement began with TAME.  TAME taught me that even though I am a Woman of Latin Decent and classified as a Minority, there is nothing that I can not achieve.  To me TAME was a blessing in my life."

TAME Parents

"I just wanted to take a moment and tell all of you how much GCTAME has meant to our family, and our two kids…guest mentors and sponsors, the dedicated teaching and administrative staff, and the other students, have been very instrumental in grabbing my kids’ attention and broadening both their science/engineering and team-building skills. I give a lot of the credit for [their interest in math, science and engineering] to the foundation provided by your GCTAME program.

TAME Volunteers

"I volunteer with TAME because the programs TAME sponsors clearly make a difference.  Students respond to the interaction with volunteers and begin to take pride in their own ability to apply math and science skills.  TAME helps create an environment outside of the classroom where students get excited about learning and where they are encouraged to explore their potential.  It is such a wonderful experience to see these kids grow through the TAME programs and decide that they’re up to the challenge of an engineering or science-based career."
