Texas A&M has produced generations of Texan, American, and global leaders committed to the values of excellence, integrity, leadership, loyalty, respect, and selfless service.
These young men and women received a life-changing education in Aggieland and went on to address significant challenges around the world.
I am proud to celebrate this remarkable milestone with fighting Aggies everywhere and look forward to the university’s continued success. Gig ‘em!
Whoop! This week marks 150 years of Aggie nation.
Last night, the Senate unanimously passed my resolution with @SenTedCruz recognizing @TAMU’s 150th anniversary.
From a distinguished history of military service to groundbreaking research, Aggies have always made an enduring impact. Proud to celebrate this Texas institution and its legacy of leadership #GigEm #12thMan
