We are eager to see them continue and thrive for future generations,” Jennifer said. The couple appreciates all opportunities to return to Aggieland. “We treasure each opportunity to come back to Texas A&M and watch a sporting event, enjoy the Bush library, eat at some of our favorite restaurants or just walk across campus.” They also understand the power of the Aggie Network. “Whether at work or out and about, whether living in Texas or living overseas, on vacation in the US or anywhere in the world, seeing another Aggie Ring is an instant connection and cause for conversation. You immediately know you have had similar experiences and share common values.” Further they explained, “The Aggie experience is one that will shape the rest of your life, from friendships to business relationships, it will define who you are and how you go through life.”

She remembers “the camaraderie and the true meaning of the Aggie Spirit” from that evening.
Texas A&M has always been a place where Jeremy Landry could visit and feel a bond to his grandfather, Clyde L. Landry ’50, who passed away before Jeremy was born. Their Endowed Century Club gift is a way for Jeremy to give back to a school that meant a lot to his grandfather. Jeremy and Courtney Landry want future classes to share in what it means to be an Aggie and to be able to make and treasure their own memories.
