Welcome Students - YOU are the Future of Agriculture! Thursday, September 5, 2024

But one of the best reasons I love fall is being able to welcome a brand new class of Aggie students to campus. Having had a chance to meet each of these students during our orientation and move-in weekend was truly an honor, and I loved meeting each one.
