MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN

Dear Friends:

Generous. A simple word we’ve all said, heard and understood. Eight letters, three syllables…but unlimited impact.

As we began preparing this year’s Benefactor, the word “generous” immediately came to my mind. The pages of this publication provide only a glimpse of the impact of this word (and our friends who live and embody its meaning) on our School. I think of the word “generous” every day as I see the impact it has on Mays Business School: supporting the studies of undergraduate and graduate students or the work of a faculty member, providing students with opportunities to study abroad and allowing students to participate in conferences and competitions. I think of this word every day as I see the impact the word “generous” has on Mays Business School. Regardless of the purpose or the size of your gift, you are making a difference!

On behalf of Mays Business School, please accept my most sincere appreciation for touching the lives of our faculty, staff and students. Thank you for all you do for our School. And thank you for being so GENEROUS.

Sincerely,

Jerry R. Strawser Dean, Mays Business School KPMG Chair in Accounting

The Hugh Roy Cullen Chair in Business Administration attracted me to Mays Business School.

Mays Business School (and Texas A&M University) must acquire the best minds, the most creative researchers and the most engaged teachers. Building a mighty base of faculty talent enriches the academic environment, which attracts the brightest students. Mays Business School is moving in the right direction to achieve these goals.

Undergraduate Scholarship

Madelyn I currently receive funds from the Virginia and Dennis Johnston ’69 Fagerman ’14 Dean’s Endowed Scholarship and the John Morgan Endowed Scholarship. I also received support from the Weber Professional Development Fund, Business Honors and given through the business honors program. Accounting Although I was a recipient of several local scholarships from my hometown, I was not awarded any Texas A&M scholarships as an incoming freshman. However, it was made clear to me that there was an abundance of scholarships available to continuing students. When making my college decision, this was definitely a factor I considered.

After getting involved in multiple organizations on campus and keeping up my grades, I knew my hard work had paid off upon receipt of these scholarships. Additionally, I was able to fulfill my lifelong dream of studying abroad last spring with the assistance of funding specifically designated for business students to study abroad. With three younger sisters, these scholarships have been incredibly helpful in paying for my college expenses. As the first Aggie in my family, it did not take me long to fully understand the generosity and power of the Aggie network. 8 GENEROUS

Graduate Scholarship

Adam Day ‘14 Before getting accepted into Mays Business School, the idea of leaving my job, selling my house and uprooting MBA my family was still a faraway notion. I was being adventurous, exploring options for my future. When I did get accepted as a full-time student, and I subsequently examined the balance of my bank account, things became very real. I had a wife and an always-starving yellow Lab to take care of, after all.

Receiving the Summerfield G. Roberts Foundation MBA Fellowship not only encouraged me to attend Mays, it also was the catalyst for a wonderful change in my life. I became free to pursue my dream, and I will always be grateful. Consequently, the opportunities afforded to me have encouraged me to give back. Someday I, too, will donate to Mays so that prospective students will not be deterred by an inability to pay.

The banquet had grown so large that it was moved in 2011 to the Zone Club at — a move that proved to be fortuitous in 2012, when attendees participated in a yell practice with new Aggie head football coach Kevin Sumlin prior to the game against Alabama.

More than 1,200 scholarships were 5 awarded in 2012, totaling over $3.4 million.
