“The Aggie Network matters, we can’t fully articulate our appreciation nor our admiration for what the premier alumni association in the world means to our collective success.”

2 “The achievement of the $4 billion goal is a testament to the tenacity of Aggies and their desire to strive for excellence. The Lead by Example campaign has elevated Texas A&M to the upper echelon of our nation’s universities. Support raised through the campaign has helped shape the character of the university as a developer of 21st-century leaders and empowered Texas A&M to unequivocally state that it is here for us today and for all future generations of Aggies.” SuSu and Mark Fischer ’72 Lead by Example Campaign Co-Chairs

3 LBE Comprehensive Campaign for Texas A&M University 2021 and beyond will include continued efforts to codify the working relationships and value propositions of all affiliates to enable an even more effective culture of philanthropy at Texas A&M

Most thought $4 billion was an impossible goal, but Aggies always find a way to accomplish the impossible.”

Amy ’84 and Tim Leach ’82 Lead by Example Campaign Co-Chairs

20 Student Volunteerism

• During the campaign, Aggie students dedicated approximately 12 million reported volunteer hours equating to a total monetary value of nearly $280 million.
