Aggie Network Is Half A Million Strong

In May, Texas A&M University surpassed 500,000 former students and more than 500,000 degrees granted since its opening in the fall of 1876.

“The Association of Former Students proudly celebrates our 500,000th former student and all who will graduate this May,” The Association of Former Students President and CEO Porter S. Garner III '79 said. “This milestone is a testament to the unique and unparalleled education and experience provided by Texas A&M. As we also celebrate our 140th year of service and support to Texas A&M, I know the 11 Aggies who created our organization in 1879 would be proud to see the difference 500,000 former students have made on Texas A&M and our world.”

Topping the record number of spring 2018 graduates by more than 200, Texas A&M was projected to award more than 10,700 degrees in May in 15 ceremonies across Texas and at its branch campuses in Galveston and Doha, Qatar, Texas A&M said.

Supported by growing enrollments, student success initiatives and timely graduation incentives, this spring’s ceremonies once again featured the highest number of degrees for any one semester in the university’s history, as well as state of Texas’ history, A&M said.
