Since 1965, The Association of Former Students has joined with Texas A&M University's Office of Graduate and Professional Studies in recognizing outstanding graduate students for their exemplary accomplishments in one of two categories: Research and Teaching.
These awards are presented annually to 15 or more outstanding graduate students. Each individual recipient receives a framed certificate and custom gold watch from The Association.
“Graduate students contribute to our research and teaching missions while advancing scholarship in their fields of study,” said Dr. Karen Butler-Purry, associate provost for graduate and professional studies. “Thanks to The Association of Former Students’ support for these awards, we are able to recognize 15 of our most exemplary graduate students this year.”
Donors to The Association of Former Students provide funding for this program.
Porter S. Garner III ’79, President and CEO of The Association of Former Students, said the alumni association is proud to recognize graduate students’ excellence in research and teaching, as well as their embodiment of Texas A&M’s core values.
"The admirable work of the graduate students being honored with this year’s Distinguished Graduate Student Award bring honor, prestige and recognition to Texas A&M,” he said.
Each distinguished graduate student was commended in a recognition event on April 26. A virtual program will be made available in late May for awardees and their friends or family members who cannot attend in person.
