Student and Alumni Spotlight Series

My name is Batoul Ibrahim, and I am a proud TAMUCT alumnus!  I graduated with my BS degree in Biology, with a Biochemistry minor, with highest distinction  in May 2022. I earned the “TAMUCT Biology Award for Academic Excellence” upon graduation.  I am currently a PhD student in Biology at Texas Tech University.
My favorite part about attending TAMUCT was being instructed by experienced and supportive professors that are always willing to help students succeed...

I graduated from the College of Arts and Sciences at TAMUCT in May 2020 with a BS in Biology with a Biotechnology Concentration and a minor in chemistry.
I then got accepted into veterinary school!  The professors were always available and happy to answer any questions or set up meeting times for extra help. They really focus on their student’s success...

I recently graduated with my MS in Criminal Justice in May 2024. I received the Knowledge Ambassador in Criminal Justice Award, much to my surprise! All my professors were so amazing, genuine, and really showed how much they care about their students, just one of the many reasons I applied to A&M-Central Texas.

I came to TAMUCT from Temple College and as a non-traditional student. At the time of graduation, I was 45 years old. I began my journey to my TAMUCT degree in the Spring of 2019 and was able to complete the degree in a little over 2 years. I was able to earn scholarships for both music and academics during my time at TAMUCT. I am now the Director of Bands at Ellison HS in the Killeen Independent School District.

I am currently an officer in the United States Army. I serve as an Air Defense Artillery Officer in the United States Army at Fort Cavazos. I graduated with honors from Texas A&M-Central Texas in May of 2020. I received a degree in Sociology with a minor in Military Science. I am a mom of two (8-year-old boy and 10-year-old girl) and a wife. Since graduation from TAMUCT, I am pursuing a new path with the Army to one day become a Jag Officer (Lawyer in the Army). I have begun to apply for Law School!
