From their first steps on campus to their proud walk across the graduation stage, every Aggie’s journey reflects our shared values, vibrant traditions and unwavering pursuit of excellence. Aggieland transforms aspirations into bold realities, driven by the steadfast support and generosity of donors from all walks of life.

This truth comes to life vividly in this issue of Spirit, where three graduating Aggies share letters to their freshman selves. Their stories speak powerfully to how Texas A&M University shapes students into remarkable young professionals—and how deeply scholarship support influences their paths.

These students’ reflections reinforce a clear, powerful truth: The mission of the Texas A&M Foundation matters. With your partnership, we build a brighter future, one meaningful relationship at a time. Every gift entrusted to us—whether sustaining cherished traditions, powering groundbreaking research or nurturing tomorrow’s leaders—creates enduring impact. Scholarships especially open doors to possibility, transforming countless lives. Our culture is one of teamwork, and our team believes that our work and lives have more meaning as a result of the impact we make through best-in-class fundraising professionals, operations and endowment management.

It’s no wonder that 75% of first-time endowment donors to our organization choose to create scholarships, and today, more than 14,000 scholarships actively empower Aggies. Our donor-centric model ensures you can personalize your scholarship, shaping your legacy and forging lifelong connections with recipients. Through careful stewardship, your generosity echoes through generations, empowering excellence year after year.
 

Higher education at Texas A&M yields extraordinary returns—not just for individual families, but also for our world. Your gift can inspire moments preserved in family memories or etched in history itself. And like the remarkable students highlighted in this issue, I’m confident that Aggies will continue surpassing every expectation.

Thank you for making their dreams possible.

Gig ’em,

Tyson Voelkel ’96
