The TRA Endowment is one year old! In recognition of this, a generous former student has made another challenge grant to TRA. Gifts up to $25,000 that are dedicated to our permanent endowment fund will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $25,000. This is a great way to double your contribution. Earnings from this permanent endowment will help ensure the funding of TRA efforts and initiatives supporting the students of Texas A&M University.

Our Mission is to defend and perpetuate the core values of respect, excellence, leadership, loyalty, integrity, and selfless service at Texas A&M. We provide a voice for Aggies who honor its Values, Traditions and Culture. We are Aggies to the Core!

The Rudder Association hosted its annual Leaders and Legends event on Wednesday, August 26 from 6-9 pm.
Ninety-one Aggie student leaders representing over thirty-six student organizations were treated a to a fine meal, keynote speakers Mark '94 & Brooke '94 Rollins, an Aggie Yell Practice and 45 minutes of table talk with a variety of Aggie legends.
The evening was complete with goodie bags and fine new Aggie Tshirts celebrating 150 years of Aggie Spirit!
Connecting Aggie Legends with our current Aggie Leaders is so important so the circle is unbroken and the Spirit is continued from one generation to the next.

In the Fall of 2020, Ol’Ags and current students worked hand in hand to rid our campus of racist hate in the form of chalking on campus.

Tours of the Texas A&M University campus are quite common, especially for prospective students. However, for one proud member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie class of 1952, a recent tour of Aggieland was uncommon and extremely memorable.
