Over the next few weeks, we’re giving you an inside look at all that encompasses the Aggie ACHIEVE program! This week, we’re starting with Aggie ACHIEVE-specific courses.

Our students participate in courses designed to build skills that support their goals, independence, and success both during college and beyond. Through Study Hall, students work toward their academic and personal goals. Career Exploration gives students opportunities to discover their interests, develop workplace skills, and apply what they learn in class to their internships as they prepare for a career after college.

That's all for the 2026 Undergraduate Research Experience Forum! The Office of Undergraduate Research appreciates all of our attendees, partners, student researchers and staff for making this event possible.

Not all traffic on Texas highways has four wheels!

Every fall, millions of monarch butterflies travel through Texas on a 3,000-mile journey to Mexico, one of the world's most remarkable migrations. But what happens when their route intersects with ours?

The right grass makes all the difference!

Hear from Dr. Manuel Chavarria as he shares insights from Texas A&M’s five-year bermudagrass research project! Learn more about how different bermudagrass cultivars perform and how ongoing research is helping advance turfgrass management.

Take notes for your next trivia night because our first-year students are sharing more interesting facts they've learned recently in medical school!

Thank you to ExxonMobil, Macquarie, PwC, and TRS for taking the time to connect with our students and share your insights and experiences. We appreciate your continued support and investment in our students’ professional growth!

Artist Du Chau’s work, “Foundations,” features rows of porcelain doves that descend in quiet succession, gradually shifting from larger forms to smaller ones. Their alignment creates a column resembling a spine slowly unfolding into air, evoking breath, memory and lineage.

Through this delicate arrangement, Du Chau explores how love and devotion become foundations we lean on, while grief settles into the spaces between. Each dove carries the echo of care passed down through generations, reflecting how one act of love can support another and how each life becomes part of something greater.

We had the distinct honor of welcoming conservationist, filmmaker and former student Ben Masters back to the Texas A&M University campus for a screening of his latest film, “Deep in the Heart 2: Texas Rivers.” Nearly 200 attendees joined us for the breathtaking film and a panel discussion with Masters and others from Fin and Fur Films.

Our undergraduate and graduate students, along with faculty, recently enjoyed an evening of networking with Cal-Maine Foods, the largest producer and distributor of fresh shell eggs in the United States!

Throughout the evening, students connected with industry professionals, learned about internship and career opportunities, and gained insight into the latest developments in the egg industry.

Texas A&M’s sesquicentennial opening ceremony celebration kicked off with performances from some of Aggieland’s finest musicians!
