I spent a great part of my career in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and this weekend, I had the chance return, celebrating six former students from Texas A&M University School of Law.

Spanning five decades of careers in private practice, public service, the bench and the boardroom, the 2026 Alumni Legacy Award recipients have also supported the generations of Aggie lawyers that have followed in their footsteps.

The School of Law has served as a catalyst for our growth in North Texas, and I have no doubt our future is bright as we build on this foundation of excellence.

Gig ’em! 👍

At Texas A&M University, we rise together.

The first pillar of our new shared vision and strategic plan is a collaborative, vision-driven ecosystem. It is an opportunity to foster a culture of excellence and collaboration that amplifies our collective impact, together, as one university. When great minds and mission-driven partners work as one, there's no limit to the good we can do!

Congratulations to our students who earned their Aggie Rings! More than an achievement, your ring links you to the generations of Aggies who came before you, and the many who will follow. Gig ’em!

With the official kickoff of our university’s 150th anniversary celebration, I had the honor of serving as a moderator of the first Sesquicentennial Speaker Series event.

In a conversation with Roku founder and inventor of the DVR, Anthony Wood ’87, we learned about his time in Aggieland, his drive to fix a problem through entrepreneurship and advice that every up and coming Aggie graduate can use as they enter the workforce.

There’s nothing I love more than spending time with our Aggie Family, and earlier this week, I got to do it with cake and ice cream in hand!

For 150 years, Aggies have built something extraordinary together — and getting to celebrate that milestone alongside all of you, treat in hand, made it extra sweet.

Happy 150th anniversary, Texas A&M University!

Tonight, our Aggie Family will gather for Silver Taps to remember and honor the six students lost. This sacred tradition reminds us that at Texas A&M University, no Aggie walks alone — and no Aggie is ever forgotten. I hope you will join me in Academic Plaza at 10:30 p.m. as we stand together in remembrance.

We will honor six Aggies who recently passed away at Silver Taps this evening.

Join the Aggie Family for the solemn ceremony in Academic Plaza at 10:30 p.m.

150 years ago today – with just six students and six faculty – the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas opened its doors and became an institution of higher education serving our great state.

As we commemorate our sesquicentennial anniversary, let us take a moment to celebrate how far we’ve come, appreciate the legacy we have to carry forward and look ahead to the wonderful things we can accomplish, together, as one university for good.

Today, we officially began our yearlong celebration of 150 years of Texas A&M.
Our Sesquicentennial Opening Ceremony brought our history to life, reminding us of the generations of Aggies who came before us and the eras of excellence they helped shape. What an honor to celebrate this milestone alongside the entire Aggie Family — administrators, faculty, staff, students, former students and friends.

We’ve inherited an extraordinary university and an extraordinary responsibility. And what a privilege it is to be its stewards!

Here’s to celebrating 150 years of Aggie excellence — and to all that lies ahead. 👍

It’s hard to describe just how impressive it was to walk through Texas A&M University's first 150 years as an institution of higher education at the J. Wayne Stark Galleries last night. The Here for Good exhibition, curated by TAMULibraries, showcases just how far we’ve come since we opened our doors in 1876.

This exhibition is set to remain on display for the entirety of our yearlong celebration in honor of our 150th anniversary and I cannot help but encourage you to visit. It will be well worth your time and I’ll bet, like me, you’ll learn something new about Aggieland.

Now that Texas A&M University’s shared vision and strategic plan, Beyond 150: One University for Good, is published, the real work begins! Something I’ve shared time and again is that this plan is not a document that will sit on a shelf and collect dust. It is a call to action, and we’re already moving forward on a number of items. Each directly align with our mission as a land-grant institution, and I’m excited to see how we will carry this vision forward, together, as one university.

I invite you to learn more, including a full list of announcements that are setting the stage for our next 150 years as a force for good across Texas, our nation and beyond: tx.ag/B150recap.
