Aggie Conversations is a series of weekly online panel discussions for Aggies, with the goal of increasing understanding. The program, now in its third year, typically takes place each Tuesday at noon.

Each episode of Aggie Conversations is recorded, and the recordings are made available for on-demand viewing. Visit tx.ag/ConversationsArchive for links to recordings of all previous Conversations.
