Courtesy Committee Fund

The Dean of Students office coordinates, collects and disperses the Courtesy Committee Fund. This fund is used to send flowers or other appropriate memorials on behalf of the University when a member of our TAMU-Commerce community passes away. The money for this fund is raised through donations from members of our faculty, staff and administration.

The Courtesy Committee met and endorsed the following guidelines for 2005-2006:

Notices concerning *deaths will be reported to the Dean of Students Office for appropriate action by the Courtesy Committee.

Department heads, departmental representatives, or anyone wishing to report information of this nature should contact the Dean of Students Office at 886-5084.

Suitable remembrances will be addressed as follows:

a. Students who are currently enrolled in the University at the time of death.

b. All categories of employees: Faculty, Administration, Professional Staff, and Staff (classified and nonclassified) and their immediate households.  Also, member’s father, mother, brother or sister.

c. Mothers-in-law or Fathers-in-law of Faculty, Administration, Professional Staff and Staff.

d. Members of the Board of Regents.

e. Retired Faculty, Administration, Professional Staff, and Staff.

A donation in lieu of flowers (appropriate remembrance) will not exceed $25.00.

The total cost of flowers will vary; the current average is $30.55, including delivery expenses.

Courtesy Committee funds will be collected in the Dean of Students Office, 2nd floor, Halladay Student Services Building.

*Flowers will not be provided in cases of illness.

*Flowers will not be provided for grandparents or grandchildren.
