October 12, the Texas A&M Maritime Academy gathered to say a final farewell to Rear Admiral Robert Smith III, class of '61.

After a 35-year naval career culminating as Chief of Staff for the U.S. Pacific Fleet and significant time leading the Federal Reserve Bank, RADM Smith led the Galveston campus as Vice President and COO from 2011-16. During his time at TAMUG, he secured funding and approval for several significant buildings on campus including the MAIN Academic Building, Aggie Special Events Center, and Texas A&M Maritime Academy Hall.

Smith was a truly transformational leader whose impact will benefit Sea Aggies for years to come.

HALFWAY THERE: Preparedness important even with quiet 2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season closing in on record

The eerily quiet 2026 Atlantic Season is pitching a hurricane shutout at its Sept. 10 midpoint and on the verge of blowing past the record wait for such a storm.

But vigilant weather watchers know history favors late inning rallies, and resilience-focused Texas A&M University at Galveston faculty always advise coastal residents to remain prepared — no matter how favorable the forecasts.

The first hurricane typically forms in July, and Sept. 11 (2002, 2013) is the latest in the satellite era an Atlantic Season has gone without one. With an intense El Niño keeping conditions hostile for hurricanes, 2026 looks set to shatter that record.

The National Hurricane Center in Miami does not anticipate any tropical cyclone activity during the next seven days. Nevertheless, the peak window for hurricanes runs through mid-October, and the record for fewest is two (1982 and 2013), so remain wary.

After all, only one hurricane needs to come ashore for those in its path to remember 2026 as a painful storm season. Read what TAMUG faculty say about preparedness here: tx.ag/rdYt0dU
