Stepping out of your comfort zone and embracing the unexpected can completely redefine your future. For Mario Milian ‘26, a last-minute decision to apply for a program just 36 hours before the deadline ended up shaping his entire college experience.

As a non-traditional student, Milian arrived at Texas A&M University as a prior-enlisted veteran, balancing his academics with raising a young son alongside his wife. He arrived with plans to finish his finance degree from the Adam C. Sinn '00 Department of Finance as quickly as possibly and immediately return to the military as an officer.

Instead, he found new community and pathways through the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets and high-impact programs at Mays.

@tamu researchers have identified a potential new strategy for slowing the progression of lung cancer.

Researchers from the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences and the @cehdtamu found that two naturally occurring microRNAs significantly reduced the growth and protein synthesis of non-small cell lung cancer cells.

Some Aggies are a rare specimen of generosity.

Judy ’78 and Tim Turner ’74 ’77 are turning their lifelong love for nature into support for the Collection of Birds in the Biodiversity Research and Teaching Collections, which spans 35,000 + specimens, nearly 2,000 species and 59 countries.

Brandt was a 2024 Texas Research Alliance (TRA) for Clean Energy scholar. Last year, he presented his work at the AIAA SciTech Forum in Orlando, Florida, and a poster at the 40th International Symposium on Combustion in Milan, Italy The Combustion Institute

We are proud of our students Josh Gryder, Lane Shaw, Kaden Hall and Emilio Iuvone, who competed as 12th Man Builders at this year’s TXAPA Asphalt Road-eo.

They presented their knowledge of asphalt production and paving processes to industry professionals. The team placed second in interviews, fourth in skid resistance and sixth overall out of 14 teams. Great work!

Texas A&M Department of Biology is proud to spotlight undergraduate researcher Sonrisa Jones, a senior microbiology major in Dr. Joe Sorg's bacterial pathogenesis laboratory.

Jones recently presented her research, "Application of Click Display Technology for Rapid Protein Binder Discovery," at the Anaerobe Conference in New York City. Her project introduces a tool with applications well beyond the lab's usual focus on Clostridioides difficile, drawing interest from researchers across multiple fields.

Critical moments, real impact.
In partnership with UT Houston and Little York Fire Department, EnMed students participated in a mass casualty incident (MCI) simulation, triaging and treating the wounded in a real-world scenario.
