Dear Students,

On behalf of The Division for Student Affairs, we thank you for choosing Prairie View A&M University as your institution of choice for higher education. Having you at PVAMU is a source of inspiration for all of us to strive toward excellence. We’re excited to have you at the first HBCU in Texas and the best HBCU in America!

As a student at PVAMU, you will engage in a journey that will challenge you academically, but your supportive network of administrators, faculty, staff, and peers will help guide you along the way. We know that you are excited to make memories by acquiring as much knowledge as possible, forging new experiences, and creating connections that will help you evolve into the person you’ve always wanted to be.

The Division of Student Affairs supports the vision and mission that envisions all graduates as fully prepared for their chosen careers and life’s pursuits, and ready to impact the world. Student Affairs also harnesses the mission to provide a transformative co-curricular student experience that is comprehensive, global, as well as, skills and value-based.

Excellence lives here and we hope to curate the best experience possible.

We are dedicated to building on the greatness that you’re already cultivating in your life. There are many resources that will assist you with your learning, and as a responsible Panther, we ask that you take full advantage of these opportunities. As you navigate PVAMU, you will find several spaces on campus that can support your goals and aspirations. Pursue academic success by attending Student Success Workshops and tutoring sessions at the University Tutoring Center. You can also develop your creativity at the Lightboard, Podcast, and Video studios in the J.B. Coleman Library. During your time here, we promise to show you all of the endless possibilities at PVAMU.
