Throughout your Aggie experience – from your new student conference to ordering your Aggie Ring, to commencement, to Muster and even your 50-year class reunion – one organization, The Association of Former Students, will be with you each step of the journey.
Founded in 1879, The Association of Former Students will provide a total impact of $13 million to Texas A&M University during the 2021-2022 academic year.
Your fi rst experience with The Association will likely be during your new student conference, as you experience the historical and interactive exhibits in the Clayton W. Williams, Jr. Alumni Center, detailing the organization’s history and impact on Texas A&M. During Howdy Week, The Association will host you and your classmates for a yell practice and give you the opportunity to try on a Class of 2025 Aggie Ring. As you become involved in student life, The Association will be there, as well, providing staff support and funding for scholarships, traditions and student activities. Toward the end of your time as a student, you will visit The Association to order your own Aggie Ring and celebrate that achievement on Ring Day! As graduation approaches, you and your family will be invited to attend the All Aggie Grad Party to learn how you can remain active with the Aggie Network and become involved in supporting the organization that enriched your collegiate experience.
When you graduate, you may leave College Station, but you will always be part of the Aggie Network and will have a home in Aggieland – the Clayton W. Williams, Jr. Alumni Center. When you return for football games, you can watch the game on the Alumni Center’s Huddleston Video Wall in a familyfriendly environment. As you gather for class reunions, you can reminisce and share the story of Texas A&M with your family through exhibits housed on the Neely Mezzanine. You can fi nd information on local A&M Clubs, Aggie Muster gatherings in your area and the annual Coach’s Nights events through AggieNetwork. com. And who knows, you might even become one of the select few honored each year by The Association and Texas A&M as a Distinguished Alumnus! Most importantly, as a former student, you can assure that future generations of Aggies enjoy an inspiring and enriching collegiate experience by faithfully giving back through The Association’s Annual Fund, just as those who preceded you have done for 142 years.
The Association of Former Students proudly promotes Texas A&M and our core values of excellence, integrity, leadership, loyalty, respect and selfl ess service, and connects Aggies to one another and to their alma mater.
