“To me TAME was more than just an out of school program,” wrote one former Club member from the West Texas Chapter. “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 Bachelor’s degree, but a Bachelor’s of Science in Electrical Engineering. At 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 descent and classified as a minority, there is nothing that I cannot achieve. TAME was a blessing in my life.”
