Search A&M-Texarkana Alumni Association Honors Nursing Graduates and All Faculty Members as 2020 Distinguished Alumni and Faculty Each year the Texas A&M University-Texarkana Alumni Association honors several distinguished alumni and faculty for their success and contributions to both the university and to the community at large. The distinguished alumni and faculty are typically announced early in the fall and are honored at the university’s annual Eagle Roundup, a large, outdoor event with live music that raises money for student scholarships at A&M-Texarkana. The annual Eagle Roundup, hosted by the TAMUT Alumni Association, was not held in its traditional form due to concerns caused by COVID-19. For the 2020 Eagle Roundup the university and community sponsors raised money by holding a drawing for a Honda Pioneer 500 side-by-side and a weeklong getaway at a Sandestin, Florida condominium. Dr. Craig Nakashian was the winner of the Sandestin vacation, and Dena Youngblood was the winner of the Honda Pioneer 500. This year’s fundraising efforts raised in excess of $26,000.
