PRESIDENT'S LETTER The year following my inauguration flew by quickly; I built my leadership team and we began shaping our plans for Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. In this issue of The Islander magazine, we provide a glimpse of those plans along with a look back at our proud history. We welcomed our first freshman class 25 years ago and Islanders Athletics is celebrating its 20th anniversary. The Carnegie Commission for Higher Education recently named us an R2 Doctoral-High Research Activity campus for the first time, which demonstrates that our efforts are being recognized. These achievements and initiatives increase our impact in the community as well as in the lives of our students. I am so proud of this University and everyone here who strives for excellence every day, including our students, faculty, and staff. We also highlight the successes of some of our alumni in this issue along with amazing work being done by students and faculty. I hope you enjoy catching up on our news, and I look forward to sharing more achievements with you soon.

Upon awakening, the Cowardly Lion yawned and (in that terrifi c voice) said “Peculiar weather we’re havin’, ain’t it?” This may be the fi rst time in recorded history that the words “Cowardly Lion” and “Sod Poodle” have been mentioned in the same sentence, but we had some pretty “peculiar” weather in Amarillo Monday, too. Much to the surprise of pretty much everyone … including weather forecasters (!) … Monday night’s game between the RockHounds and Sod Poodles was suspended due to rain in the middle of the sixth inning at A Statewide Road Trip...

  • Evaluates and Plans for the Transportation Needs of the Nueces and San Patricio County Areas
    CSJ 0101-06-095 Affected Environment 3.0 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT 3.1 LAND USE 3.1.1 History and Development Trends Permanent settlement in the area that would eventually become Corpus Christi began in the 1840s when Henry L. Kinney and William P. Aubrey established a trading post on the west shore of what is now called Corpus Christi Bay. In 1846, Corpus Christi became the county seat of newly formed Nueces County, and by the 1850s the city was laid out with numbered streets. After the Civil War, the city emerged as an important shipping center when the main ship channel was dredged to accommodate large steam ships. The first railroad arrived in 1875, with three more rail lines following by 1914 (Long 2012a). Mayor Roy Miller adopted an aggressive modernization program in 1913. In three years, the City had paved 12 miles of existing streets, constructed two miles of new streets, laid 26 miles of sanitary and storm sewers, built a garbage incinerator, and installed a new water system (WPA 1942, 169). Though travelers crossing Nueces Bay had utilized a raised oyster reef between the Nueces and Corpus Christi Bays since the 1840s, a reinforced concrete causeway was completed in 1915 (Givens and Moloney 2011, 11; 195). A hurricane in 1919 destroyed much of North Beach and the downtown area. The city was rebuilt quickly, and in 1926 a deep water port was opened to accommodate large vessels, ushering in a period of growth and prosperity for the area. The following year, a bascule bridge (drawbridge) was constructed over the Inner Harbor and opened to the traveling public.

  • Whataburger 2021 Press
    PRESS KIT 2021 A simple goal: to serve a burger OUR STORY so big it took two hands to hold On Aug. 8, 1950, an adventurous and determined entrepreneur named Harmon Dobson opened up the world’s first Whataburger on Ayers Street in Corpus Christi, Texas. He had a simple goal: to serve a burger so big it took two hands to hold and so good that with one bite customers would say, “What a burger!” He succeeded on both counts and turned that one little burger stand into a legend loved throughout Texas and the South. Today, each and every Whataburger is made to order, right when it’s ordered, never frozen. And they’re still made with 100 percent pure beef and served on a big toasted five-inch bun with all “the extras” to suit your taste. Grilled jalapeños, extra bacon, three slices of cheese, no tomatoes, extra pickles? No problem. Your Whataburger will be made just like you like it, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Whataburger’s following has grown exponentially in its 70-year history, thanks to a number of features, including its famous burgers and growing list of menu items; its iconic orange-and-white-striped A-Frame restaurants established in the early 1960s; its Fancy Ketchup that even has its own Facebook fan page; and its on-screen presence in every- thing from “King of the Hill” to “Friday Night Lights.” Whataburger is more than a burger chain. It is a place that feels like home to more than 50,000 employees, called Family Members, and millions of customers.
