Howdy, Aggies! Welcome back to campus. Today is Monday, August 25, 2025, and it's the first day of fall classes. Let's dive into the latest happenings at Texas A&M University. Yesterday, AggieFest 2025 wrapped up at Aggie Park. This event, part of Howdy Week, featured free food, live music, and interactive booths from student organizations. It was a fantastic way to kick off the semester and connect with fellow Aggies. Looking ahead, the Residential Housing Association (RHA) will hold its General Assembly tomorrow, August 26, at 7:00 PM. This is a great opportunity for on-campus students to get involved and have their voices heard. Additionally, the RHA is hosting a Club Crawl on Sunday, August 31, at 1:00 PM, perfect for exploring various student organizations. For art enthusiasts, the "Illustrating Myth, Legend and the Divine" exhibition is on display until August 31. You can visit Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and on Saturdays from noon to 6 p.m. Don't miss this exploration of mythological and legendary figures through art. Football season is upon us! The Aggies will face UTSA this Saturday, August 30, at 6:00 PM in Bryan-College Station. Be sure to support our team as they kick off the season. In university news, Glenn Hegar has taken office as the new Chancellor of the Texas A&M University System as of July 1, 2025. Hegar, a sixth-generation Texan, brings a wealth of experience and a deep connection to the state. As the semester begins, remember that mental health support is available. The Aggie Peer Connect program offers peer support, and the TELUS Health Student Support app provides 24/7 access to professional counseling in multiple languages. Additionally, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences has an embedded licensed professional counselor, Ms. Molly McCann, available for students. That's all for today's update. Best of luck with your classes, and here's to a great semester ahead. Gig 'em!
