Howdy!

We can’t believe it’s been 25 years since we graduated from A&M.  We are officially OLD AGS!  The memories of our years together in Aggieland seem like just yesterday.  We want to invite you to return to campus on November 18-21 to celebrate our Class Reunion.  It’s going to be a fun and relaxing weekend.  Make plans to join us and take the opportunity to see all the changes to the campus and, at the same time, show your family what it was like to be an Aggie in the 80s.  There are plenty of choices!  Whether it’s just hanging out, touring the campus, playing golf, going to midnight yell, or catching up with old friends at the game day tailgate party – there is something for everyone.  We’ve also scheduled the weekend around three sporting events to cap off the Reunion.  Friday night is a preseason Men’s Basketball game – a new Aggie Tradition.  Saturday is a Big XII football match up with Nebraska and Sunday the Women’s Volleyball team takes on the Iowa State Cyclones.  It will be a weekend to remember.  We look forward to seeing in November!

Thanks and gig ’em,
Keith, Scott, Greg & Amy

Class Agents

Class Agents serve as a liaison between their Class and The Association. This is the perfect opportunity to get involved as a former student, stay connected to the university and help lead your Class supporting A&M. Elections are held in conjunction with your Reunions, so now is your chance!

Teams consist of three to four members of your Class and serve a five-year term. As a Class Agent you will serve on The Association of Former Students’ Leadership Council, which meets twice a year. The Association of Former Students provides orientation and resources to aid you in this role. Class Agents are responsible for keeping the Class informed through newsletters, web sites and emails, planning Class events and providing annual fund information to former students.

Class Agent elections will be held after the Reunion, if needed.  The actual election will be held online to allow Classmates not in attendance the chance to vote.  Class Agent teams will be allowed to speak during the business meeting at the Reunion.

For more information go to http://www.aggienetwork.com/theAssociation/agents.aspx, e-mail Class@AggieNetwork.com or call (800) 633-7514 at least 14 days prior to your Reunion to get your name on the ballot!  All nominations must be received by the Reunion Registration Deadline.
