Step in and Stand up against Sexual Assault and Violence
Step In. Stand Up. Is an award-winning campaign here at Texas A&M, aiming to raise sexual assault awareness and reduce sexual violence in the campus community. As the Aggies core values suggest, every single one of us has a commitment to serve our fellow Aggies and protect each other from assault and violence.

What Brought You to Texas A&M University?

Texas A&M at Qatar
Did you know there is an Aggieland in the Middle East? Doha, Qatar to be specific and they actually go undefeated in basketball unlike their counterparts in College Station.
In this Aggieland the 12th man leads fellow students in yells to the beat of a drum and students seemingly use Howdy more often than at main campus...
