Since 1955 The Association of Former Students has recognized outstanding members of Texas A&M University’s faculty and staff for their commitment, performance and positive impact on Aggie students, Texas citizens and the world around them.
Each year The Association of Former Students generously makes funds available to provide faculty and staff at Texas A&M with a number of awards recognizing achievement in teaching, research, individual student relationships, continuing education/extension, graduate mentoring, staff and administration. Receipt of an Association of Former Students Distinguished Achievement Award is one of the highest university honors that can be bestowed upon a faculty or staff member.
