The true measure of a university’s greatness can be found in the achievements of its alumni. Texas A&M University is globally known to develop leaders in many fields of endeavor. A vast number of Texas A&M former students have gained unique distinction through success in their professions, service to Texas A&M University, and contribution to their communities. Texas A&M University and The Association of Former Students established the Distinguished Alumnus Award program to honor outstanding former students and to celebrate their achievements.
The purpose of the Distinguished Alumnus program is to recognize and esteem Texas A&M University former students who have made significant contributions to society, and whose accomplishments, affiliations and careers have honored the legacy of excellence at Texas A&M University.
The Distinguished Alumnus Award does more than honor its recipients. It also further illustrates the great value of the academic programs and student involvement at Texas A&M and increases the pride all former students, students, staff and faculty have for the University. The award program recognizes those individuals who serve as evidence of the power of the Aggie experience to the people of Texas, the nation and the world.
