The Woodlands, TX
Courtney Landry ’04 received both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in accounting from Texas A&M University. She instantly felt at home at Texas A&M when she visited the campus for the first time and knew she wanted to be here. One of her strongest memories from being a student at Texas A&M is from her freshman year when the entire campus gathered on the one-year anniversary of the bonfire collapse to honor those who had passed away. 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.
