Donors Are the Difference

State and federal revenues represent a mere fraction of the support Texas A&M University requires to provide successful programs in education, research, and service—programs designed to meet real needs in society. Donors are the difference in enabling our faculty and students to leave their global mark in productive and inventive ways while ensuring a brighter future for Texas A&M.

Spirit and Mind

Vision 2020, faculty reinvestment, and other progressive programs have put the entire University on a path toward greatness even as they have elevated the bar necessary to attract it. More so than ever before, our facilities must be state-of-the art and faculty among the best in their fields. Exceptional programs, facilities, and opportunities help to attract and retain exceptional faculty, who, in turn, attract the best graduate and undergraduate students.
