Thank you to those of you who joined the State of the University address. I was blown away by how many of you took time out of your busy schedules to attend, which is a testament to how much you care about Texas A&M and our collective future.

Remembering Bonfire

Thank You to Our Veterans

There may be no greater example of selfless service than the service of our veterans to the country we love. Most of you have veterans in your families. In my family, not only am I a veteran, but my grandfathers, my father, my brother and two of my sons also served. That’s a pretty common story here in Aggieland. And so, on this Veterans Day, let’s take time to recognize and thank all our veterans for the sacrifices they made to keep our nation safe. I’m guessing that when you do, they’ll tell you it was a privilege.
