Zachry Engineering Education Complex Tour

Tour the newly renovated, largest academic building on campus. Unlike any other facility in the nation, 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! Tour participants should meet in the ConocoPhillips Atirum, using either the East (Bizzell St.) or West (Spence St.) entrances. 

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 John D. White ’70 – Robert L. Walker ’58 Music Activities Center accommodates 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 recently constructed state-of-the art facility! Tour participants should meet in the MAC main lobby (entrance from Lot 40). 

On-Your-Own Campus Walking Tours

As time allows, you may be interested in taking a self-guided walking tour of campus. The self-guided campus tours are included at the link below (click on the “Tours” tab). While they are presented as virtual tours on the map, the History and Traditions Walking tour and Bonfire Memorial tour can be done on-your-own in person and maps are available through the Visitor’s Center on campus. Virtual campus map can be found here.

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 in 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 and emails, planning Class events and providing annual fund information to former students. For more information, visit tx.ag/ClassAgent. 

Your current Class Agents, Brett Alexander, Michael Asuncion, Shelly Jordan, Misti Pichon, and Shea Redden would like to serve another term, if elected. 

Class Agent elections will be held during the business meeting portion of your Reunion. If you wish to serve as a Class Agent for your Class, you must contact the Class Programs office at The Association of Former Students at Class@AggieNetwork.com or (979) 845-7514 before the Reunion to get your team on the ballot. Classmates must run as a team consisting of no less than two and no more than five individuals per team. All team nominations must be received by the Reunion registration deadline (Nov. 12). 

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 at (800) 633-7514 no later than Nov. 12. Your payment will be refunded with the exception of the registration fee. Registration changes after the Nov. 12 deadline cannot be refunded as food orders will have been guaranteed.
