Aggie International Ambassadors
The mission of Aggie International Ambassadors is to bring together both American and International students who work to bring International awareness and respect to the Texas A&M Community. AIA is the only organization that encourages the interaction between both American and international students. AIA is using the grant to host a Spring Forum on Energy Conservation with several high profile speakers including Congressman Joe Barton, several college professors, students, and a representative from an oil company.
Bilingual Education Student Organization
The mission for the Bilingual Education Student Organization (BESO) is to foster the enhancement of bilingual education. They strive to become fully certified Bilingual Teachers and serve as a professional association for supporters of diversity and bilingual education. As an organization they advocate for language minority students to maintain their native language and master English while succeeding academically. BESO is using the grant to send several students to the statewide conference.
MSC LEAD
MSC LEAD is an advanced leadership organization for Aggie sophomores. They seek to develop sophomores by taking the basic principles of leadership learned during freshman year and translate those principles into action. MSC LEAD produces several external programs that target underrepresented eighth, ninth, eleventh, and twelfth grade students that generally would not consider college as an option for their future. MSC LEAD is a unique organization as it is only one of two designed for sophomores. MSC LEAD is using the grant to fund their Sophomore Leadership Conference and the annual "Aggies Reach Out" trip to promote higher education among 8th graders.
2006 - 2007
Change
Change encourages awareness of the Aggie Ring and raises money for those who cannot afford one. Each spring Change recruits student volunteers to collect spare change throughout the campus and community. The week-long change drive consists of events and programs aimed at raising appreciation and awareness for the Aggie Ring along with fundraising to help purchase Aggie Rings the following fall for students who cannot afford them.
2005 - 2006
Texas A&M Student Government Association Brick Campaign
("Path of Success")
The Student Government Association is raising an endowment fund to aid operations. Through these funds SGA will be able to achieve a number of goals, including relieve the burden of support from Student Service Fees, adopt new programs and projects to better serve the student body, and help programs continue into the future. Without the necessary funds, the Student Government Association could be forced to reduce the services it offers to the students, therefore this endowment will insure that SGA continues its impact into the future. This brick campaign ensures the leadership and services that the Student Government Association provide will continue for years to come.
2004 - 2005
L.I.N.K (f/k/a Freshman Student Leaders Conference)
The Leaders Inspiring New Knowledge (L.I.N.K.) Committee fosters relationships, provides leadership development opportunities, and builds a foundation of support for the Student Government Association and Texas A&M University, and serves as an educational resource for the current and former students in developing themselves as productive and successful members of society.
