Behind every strong Rotaract club is an advisor who leads with purpose and heart. ❤️

Through mentorship and guidance, Rotaract Texas A&M-Texarkana advisor, Dr. Ryan Gray, is empowering students to make a real difference, not only on campus but throughout the community. From organizing clothing drives and serving meals to men and women experiencing homelessness, to recruiting like-minded leaders and building a sustainable, service-driven club culture, his impact is both seen and felt.

Because of his leadership students aren’t just participating, they’re growing, leading, and creating meaningful change.

When leadership is intentional, impact is inevitable!

A special shoutout to one of the District’s dedicated Rotaract Club advisors, Rich Crosby, from Trinity Valley Community College. He went the extra mile by bringing interim Club President, Samir “Alex” Fernandez, to training; not just to learn, but to lead. By investing in his growth and equipping him with the tools to succeed, Rich preparing Alex to step confidently into the role of president.

This is what Rotaract is all about: mentorship, opportunity, and building the next generation of leaders. 👏

Big impact starts with a simple act of giving. 👔 👟

Rotaract Texas A&M-Texarkana is proud to celebrate the success of their inaugural Suits, Shirts, and Second Chances Clothing Drive! Thanks to the generosity of many, they collected professional and everyday clothing to support the Texas A&M University-Texarkana Career Closet and Randy Sams Outreach Shelter, helping individuals step confidently into job opportunities and new beginnings.

Every suit, shirt, and shoe donated represents more than clothing; it’s a second chance, a renewed sense of renewed sense of dignity, and a step toward a brighter future.

Thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, and helped make this initiative a success. Together, Rotaract is making a lasting difference—one outfit and one opportunity at a time.

Tonight was an evening filled with BBQ, music, line dancing, and more at the 2nd Annual Pork on a Fork Fundraiser! This special event brought together Runnin WJ Ranch and Texarkana Resources for the Disabled, Inc., two organizations united in their mission to support individuals with disabilities in our community.

We’re proud to share that Rotaract Texas A&M-Texarkana volunteered their time and energy to help make this event a success—serving, supporting, and showing what community leadership looks like in action.

It was a night of fun, fellowship, and purpose as we raise awareness and support for two impactful nonprofits. That’s what people of action do!
