Brown said the University's new facilities uniquely lend themselves to the event and will afford students and their parents an opportunity to explore Texas' newest four-year University as well. There are six 5A high schools in Laredo, communications and performing arts and health sciences magnet schools, two private high schools and four private high schools in Nuevo Laredo. Most importantly, there is a commitment from students and their parents to better themselves through higher education. The University will host a Border Style Welcome Dinner for recruiters participating in this year's College Night. It will continue till 9 p.m. High School students interested in attending should contact their respective high school counselor.
Some schools give special credit and provide instruction for their students attending.
