Messages from the President

• A Message to Students on Plans for In-Person Fall Semester

  May 29, 2020

  In April, I shared our intent to be open for the fall semester. While much work is left to be done to make this happen as safely as possible, I’m pleased to report that we are on track to be open and operational in-person, with online offerings as well. The Board of Regents met this morning and approved Texas A&M University System guidance.

• August In-Person Commencements Postponed; Virtual Graduation Celebrations and Conferral of Degrees Planned

  May 29, 2020

  In April, I promised you that by the end of May, we would have more information about the feasibility of an in-person August commencement. You can see by the title of this message that I did not want to sugarcoat what is assuredly disappointing news for August graduates and their families. We will postpone in-person commencement ceremonies.

• Special Tribute To Our Graduates

  May 15, 2020

  Today I’d like you to see another special message to our graduates from Governor Greg Abbott. I hope you’ll take a moment to watch his brief video and possibly share it with your families and friends.
