San Antonio, TX

It was 1947 when Bob Conn ’51 started his fish year at Texas A&M. “I had no idea what I was getting into,” he laughed. World War II had just ended and the AMC of Texas was bursting with veterans returning to school on the GI Bill. Since main campus was full, “they set us up on the air force base,” he said. Now known as Riverside Campus, the Bryan Air Force Base became home for Conn and his Classmates. It had a dining facility, barracks and classes. “The only time we went to main campus was for football games,” he said. “They’d bus us in and bus us out.”

He holds the memories dear, but knows that time has been good to Texas A&M. He has watched as campus has adjusted to new requirements, new construction and a more intense academic focus. First as he and his wife dropped off their daughter— Kathy Saucier ’80—for her first year in Aggieland, and then when they came back on their own for Aggie Hostel. Conn is a lifetime member of the San Antonio A&M Club & Foundation, and for years has enjoyed eating lunch every Monday with Aggies at the Club’s facility, Aggie Park. “One of my real close friends whom I visited with every Monday started going crazy about Aggie Hostel.” Discontinued in 2005, Aggie Hostel was a program that invited former students aged 65 and older to come back to campus and spend a week with students. “I couldn’t wait until I was 65,” he said. “I think I set the record for attending Hostels.” Former students went to class with students, ate lunch with students, and went to events with students. “Through that, we met lots of first-class students and they became like our children, like our grandchildren,” he said. “And they are the main reason that we’re most appreciative as a whole for Texas A&M.” As an active member of his Class, Conn interacts with the Class of ’51 scholarship recipients. He and his wife also personally support two scholarship students—one member of the Corps of Cadets and one mechanical engineer. “In a word, these students are quality,” he said. “These are great students who attend A&M and I am so proud of what they do and how they represent Texas A&M.” Texas A&M continues to impact the future through its students. As for himself, he gives full credit to A&M for giving him the education and discipline to serve in the U.S. Army and enjoy a 46-year career in mechanical contracting.

College Station, TX

Ever since Alexis Cooper ’12 was born, her parents have reinforced the discipline of responsibility. When she wanted a horse, it was her job to muck the stalls. When she wanted to participate in livestock shows, the duty of caring for the animals fell completely on her shoulders. When she wanted to get involved in student organizations and sports as a high schooler, she was the one who had to be the reliable teammate.

“My whole life, my parents have taught us that hard work pays off,” she said.

That lesson was applied to her education, as well. Some of her earliest memories are of being in Kyle Field, knee-high to her dad and swaying with the 12th Man as they sawed off Varsity’s horns. She said she felt the Spirit in her bones.

She attempted to consider other schools, but when it came time to send in her college application, she only needed one stamp. “I only wanted to go to A&M,” she said.

And so she did.

“One of the biggest things I love about A&M is our core values,” she said. As a college student, when she worked as the manager for the Texas A&M softball team for two years, or helped establish Collegiate 4-H, or coached a high school volleyball team, the core values of excellence, integrity, leadership, loyalty, respect and selfless service helped guide her decision making.

The core values continue to provide her firm footing, and her Aggie Ring serves as the daily reminder. Each time she puts on her Ring, through its symbolism, she said she’s putting on the core values.

Responsibility shapes you, she said. When she learned that her parents, Stephen ’78 and Kimberley Cooper, had given an Endowed Century Club gift in her name, all her emotions funneled into one overlying theme—gratitude.

“I want to allow others to be able to experience the things I have, and to alleviate the burden of finances to get a great education,” she said. “There’s no other experience like Texas A&M. The ultimate goal of mine is to continue to give.

“I want more students to have this legacy,” she said.

El Campo, TX

Shelby Cooper ’13 gets goose bumps every time the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band plays the opening notes of The Spirit of Aggieland. The same thing happens with the short staccato opening tones of the Aggie War Hymn and the long solemn trumpet call of Silver Taps.

“Texas A&M has been in my life since I was a child,” Cooper said. A lifetime as an Aggie has taught her this—“This university is unlike any other in the world,” Cooper said.

That knowledge has motivated her to action in order to defend its uniqueness and pave the way for future Aggies to get a top-tier education and their own incomparable Aggie experience.

“I want the future of this university to be even better,” she said. “Everyone should have a chance to receive a fantastic education.”

When she thinks about her own Aggie education, she can see how Texas A&M and its core values became part of her personality and influenced her decision-making. “It taught me, yes, I am a leader, but I can make sacrifices as well,” she said. “Being an Aggie makes you part of the Aggie family and you would be surprised how humbling and wonderful that is.”

Texas A&M is made better because of The Association of Former Students, she said, and she’s proud to be part of the group of former students who help stand in the gap for the future generation.

“As former students, we protect and uphold traditions that make us so special,” she said. “It’s unbelievable to be part of that.”

Her Endowed Century Club donation was a graduation gift from her parents, Stephen ’78 and Kimberley Cooper. When she chose Texas A&M as her university as a high schooler, she had no backup plan. She filled out one college application and sent it to Aggieland. “It was an easy decision. I wanted to be with my family. I wanted to be part of what we created,” she said. Now, as a member of the Aggie family, she’s honored to be part of the future Texas A&M is creating.

El Campo, TX

Texas A&M gave Stephen Cooper ’78 an education and the benefit of a life driven by its core values.

As the first in his family to attend college, Cooper knows what a gift Texas A&M is to each incoming Class of freshmen. He knows the power of the Aggie Ring. He shares the indescribable Aggie Spirit and passion to protect and perpetuate Texas A&M’s legacy of excellence.

“I feel indebted,” he said. “I will never be able to give back to TAMU what I have received. But I will try.”

Cooper is president and partner of La Tierra de Esmeralda Inc. He started farming when he was a sophomore in college, and in 1979, he got in the turf business. In 1987, he established Emerald Sod Farms near Denver, Colorado.

“We’ve been very fortunate in life,” he said. “I think it’s very important to give back.”

Active in in his local A&M Club for decades, Cooper first served as president of the Matagorda County A&M Club, and currently serves on the Wharton County A&M Club’s board. April is the busiest time for agriculturalists, but no matter where he was on April 21, he would try to attend Muster.

“Muster, I think, defines our university,” he said. At Texas A&M, “You’re not a number; you’re a person,” he said. Muster reminds Aggies that they’re never forgotten and that every person matters.

Every person matters when it comes to The Association of Former Students, too, he said.

As former students work together, both in raising funds for Texas A&M and in living a life guided by core values, Texas A&M is strengthened, he said. Together, Aggies can change the world.

“And it’s never too early to set a precedent for our kids,” he said.

Cooper and his wife, Kimberley, have two daughters, Alexis ’12 and Shelby ’13. As a graduation gift, they made Endowed Century Club donations in their daughters’ names.

“My wife and I thought of all the blessings we have and they have and thought the greatest gift we could give them would be a gift that would give back,” he said.

“We were right,” he said. “I’ve never seen them cry so hard.”

They fondly remember meeting their freshman year and experiencing all of Aggie student life together, and they say Texas A&M gave them “so much more than just a degree.”

Because they understand the need for financial assistance that many Aggie students experience during their time at A&M, they were inspired to establish an Endowed Century Club fund.

Like many Texas Aggies, Texas A&M has had a major impact on my life. As well as the many lifelong friendships made, it provided the foundation for a very enjoyable and rewarding profession. In addition many other traits learned and experiences enjoyed at A&M have enriched my entire life. I hope this gift will enable others to have the same opportunities I had.
