The 525,000-square-foot complex completely modernizes the original Zachry Engineering Center and expands the facility to include a state-of-the-art Engineering Design Center. There are no lecture halls, but instead there are active learning studios that foster teamwork and furniture that fully integrates technology. Sign up to see the newly renovated facility!

MUSIC ACTIVITIES CENTER TOUR
From football games to formal concerts, Texas A&M University has a rich musical tradition, one that includes a wide variety of performances and covers a diverse set of genres. The new John D. White ’70 – Robert L. Walker ’58 Music Activities Center will accommodate more than 1,300 student musicians who participate in the bands, choirs and orchestras at Texas A&M. Don’t miss out on touring this newly constructed state-of-the art facility!

ATTIRE
Your Reunion is going to be a fun, casual affair. Feel free to dress comfortably as you will be walking around campus. Be sure to check the weather forecast before making your way to College Station and pack accordingly.

CLASS AGENT ELECTIONS
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 two to five 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, websites and emails, planning Class events and providing annual fund information to former students.

Class Agent elections will be held at the Class Business Meetings during your Reunion. For more information go to tx.ag/ClassAgent, e-mail Class@AggieNetwork.com or call (800) 633-7514. Please let the Class Programs Team know at least 7 days prior to your Reunion that your Class Programs Team would like to run to get your name on the ballot. Classmates must run as a team consisting of no less than two and no more than five individuals per team. All nominations must be received by the Reunion registration deadline.

CANCELLATION POLICY
The Association of Former Students has a fairly flexible cancellation policy. If you cannot attend your Reunion, or an event for which you have registered, please contact the Class Programs office (800) 633-7514 no later than Nov. 5. Your payment will be refunded with the exception of the registration fee. Registration changes after the final Nov. 5 deadline cannot be refunded as food orders will have been guaranteed.

CENTURY CLUB DONATION
