In 2013, Texas A&M University (TAMU) was designated as an Esri Development Center (EDC).
Only a handful of academic institutions worldwide have this distinction.
Membership in this program provides TAMU Students, Faculty, and Staff with access to special Esri software, data, and support resources
as well as other opportunities for the TAMU community to learn and apply development techniques with the latest, greatest Esri
software and data.
