It is an honor and privilege to serve as president of Texas A&M University.
As a faculty member, both here and in Galveston, as well as former CEO of our Galveston campus, I have a keen awareness of Texas A&M’s countless contributions in the areas of teaching, research and service. Our professors are some of the best teachers and researchers in the world, and they are passionate about improving the lives of people in Texas and beyond.
As a former student, I also have an abiding love for Texas A&M and a deep appreciation of the rich history shared by the entire Aggie Family, some 330,000 strong around the world. Together, we can change the world.
As president, I pledge to promote Texas A&M’s status as one of the top teaching and research universities in the nation, as well as the core values that have helped us train the next generation of leaders for more than 130 years.
