    THE TEXAS A&M FOUNDATION MAGAZINE THE TEXAS A&M FOUNDATION SUMMER 2009A Dutchman’s pipe vine blooms in Aggie maroon and white at the Holistic Garden on the West Campus. The garden, which offers lessons in horticulture to Texas A&M students and other visitors, has an annual budget of about $80,000 to pay student workers, buy plants and maintain facilities. Dr. Joe Novak, who established the garden, hopes creating an endowment will help him to expand the garden and educate more Aggies there. See page 18 for the full story. PRESIDENT’S LETTER Education Is Our Obligation At the Texas A&M Foundation, we spend a lot of time thinking and talking about the value of higher education. From time to time during our daily work, each of us may consider a fundamental question: Why am I raising money for Texas A&M University? Inevitably, we find the answer just outside our Hagler Center offices on campus. The answer is in the mind of the education major from Beaumont—with help from a scholarship, she will fulfill her goal of teaching the next generation of promising students. It’s in the heart of the renowned history professor who has devoted his life to the study of British history—funds from a faculty chair provide the resources to further his research and teaching. It’s in the spirit of the Texas A&M Rodeo Team cowboy from Glen Rose—without a scholarship, he could not attend a major university and compete nationally in the sport that defines his young life.

  • 2007-Fall-Spirit.Pdf
    THE TEXAS A&M FOUNDATION MAGAZINE THE TEXAS A&M FOUNDATION FALL 2007Thankfully, there are many stories of people who support Aggie spirit. Some, like Doug Pitcock ’49, do so with imagination. To address the need for more significant Corps of Cadets scholarships at Texas A&M, Pitcock issued a unique challenge to his fellow Corps supporters. Their response was nothing short of remarkable. See page 24 for the full story. PRESIDENT’S LETTER Nothing endures but change Take a deep breath. You can feel it in the air. The 2007 fall semester is underway and the Texas A&M campus is abuzz with more than 46,000 Aggies. They are eager to experience what will no doubt be some of the most memorable days of their lives. The familiar heat and humidity of summer lingers on in the Brazos Valley, but there’s hope that cooler days will soon arrive. From the second floor of the Jon L. Hagler Center I can watch our football team practice, and in the darker hours I’ve seen the lights on at Kyle Field as the athletic department prepares for an onslaught of fans. We’re all driving about 10 miles per hour slower than we did a few weeks ago—zigzagging to avoid students, faculty and their hundreds of bicycles and cars. I still swell up with pride (and maybe a little relief) when I see the Corps of Cadets on their daily outfit runs through Spence Park, and the sight of all the new fish trying to navigate this immense campus is always worth a chuckle.

  • Silver Taps at A&M
    Howdy! On behalf of The Association of Former Students, thank you for serving as Muster Chair for your local Aggie Muster ceremony. On April 21, your community of Aggies will join over 40,000 fel- low Aggies in more than 300 Musters worldwide as we come together to celebrate this honored tradition. Aggie Muster ceremonies are a unique expression of each individual community, and no matter what format is chosen for your ceremony, we know that your Muster will be a meaningful experi- ence for those in your community. Muster is a day celebrating the camaraderie and the friend- ships, the triumphs and the defeats, the legacies and the impact that Texas A&M University has made, and continues to make, in all of our lives. It is also a time to honor those Aggies, those friends, family members, and classmates, who are no longer among us. Muster can be as simple or as elaborate as you feel appropriate, but whether your Muster is modeled after our Campus Mus- ter or adapted to accommodate your local needs, know that you are perpetuating something that is bigger than a single event, larger than your own local Club or Muster Group-- you are perpetu- ating the essence of the Aggie Spirit. The Muster Staff at The Association of Former Students gladly offers you their support as you plan your Muster. This Muster Handbook will serve as your guide in planning every aspect of your Muster. The Association also has numerous online resources (including an online version of this Handbook) available for your use.

Nielsen-Gammon Richard E. Orville (Chair of Committee) (Member) ___________________________ ___________________________ Keith A. Arnold Gerald R. North (Member) (Head of Department) August 2003 Major Subject: Meteorology iii ABSTRACT An Investigation into the Contamination of WSR-88D VAD Wind Profile Output by Migrating Birds. (August 2003) Karl Werner Schulze, B.S., Northern Illinois University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. John W. Nielsen-Gammon The VAD Wind Profile (VWP), a time-height display of winds computed by the National Weather Service’s WSR-88D radar, is known on occasion to have errors at night during the fall and spring seasons. Several studies, such Haro and Gauthreaux (1997), confirm that migrating birds often contaminate the VWP output. By means of telescopic observations of a full moon, birds were observed flying on two nights when VWP contamination was suspected. The nature of the VWP errors is consistent with migrating birds due to the seasonality, nocturnal nature, and the magnitude of the errors found (greater than 10 knots).

They were scholars, student athletes, active in Boy Scouts, 4-H, Church groups,they were leaders. If you had to chose a dozen students to represent the best of Texas A&M, you probably wouldn't do much better than these. I have just learned about Timothy Doran Kerlee, Jr. He was the twelfth student to die, when his life support was disconnected last Friday evening. Let me tell you about this amazing kid. Tim graduated last year from Germantown High School in Germantown,Tennessee. He was an Eagle Scout, graduated third in his class, and was elected to his High School Hall of Fame. He was a student athlete, and a member of the National Honor Society. He was active in the youth group and drama club at his Methodist Church. He was actively recruited by Texas A&M, and when he enrolled he tested out of his entire freshman year. That is how this 17 year-old could be classified as a sophomore.

  • Implementation and Assessment of Undergraduate Experiences in SOAP: an Atmospheric Science Research and Education Program Larry J
    JOURNAL OF GEOSCIENCE EDUCATION 61, 415–427 (2013) Implementation and Assessment of Undergraduate Experiences in SOAP: An Atmospheric Science Research and Education Program Larry J. Hopper, Jr.,1,2,a Courtney Schumacher,2 and Justin P. Stachnik2,3 ABSTRACT The Student Operational Aggie Doppler Radar Project (SOAP) involved 95 undergraduates in a research and education program to better understand the climatology of storms in southeast Texas from 2006–2010. This paper describes the structure, components, and implementation of the 1-credit-hour research course, comparing first-year participants’ experiences and career outcomes with students who were engaged in SOAP for multiple years. Groups of five or six students, led by a senior-level undergraduate and mentored by a graduate student and faculty advisor, performed several daily research tasks, including producing precipitation forecasts, archiving observations, and operating and analyzing data from an S-band Doppler radar for precipitation events on their assigned day. Anonymous surveys given to SOAP students at the end of each semester indicated that student confidence in performing most SOAP tasks exhibited statistically significant positive correlations with their interest and experience in doing them. In addition, students participating in SOAP for multiple years were significantly more confident in performing program tasks than single-year participants (with correlations increasing an average of 19%) and were more likely to obtain meteorology or science-related employment upon graduation (94% versus 69%). First-year participants were significantly more likely to indicate that their interactions with undergraduate student leaders or peers were most beneficial, whereas interactions with the faculty advisor or graduate student mentors were equally or more important to returning students.

  • Commemorative Agency and the Texas A&M University Bonfire
    “A SPIRIT THAT CAN NEVER BE TOLD”: COMMEMORATIVE AGENCY AND THE TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY BONFIRE MEMORIAL ADAM J. GAFFEY AND JENNIFER L. JONES BARBOUR On November 18, 1999, Texas A&M University (TAMU) experienced pro- found tragedy when the famed Aggie Bonfıre collapsed, killing 12 students and injuring 27 others. This essay examines the rhetorical dynamics of the TAMU Bonfıre Memorial and explores how it navigates the tension created when a constitutive symbol is implicated in a moment of tragedy. Specifıcally, we use this case to explore how memorials help shape perceptions of victim agency in commemorative form. As we argue, the memorial taps into resonant modes of public reasoning—including temporal metaphors, Christian theology, and campus tradition—to imply the tragic outcome of the 1999 collapse had cause beyond human or institutional control. Our analysis of the Bonfıre Memorial illustrates the importance of commemorative agency and, in particular, how eliding victim agency can limit epideictic encounters that might foster a sense of present and future engagement on unreconciled issues. ADAM J. GAFFEY is an Assistant Professor of Communication Studies at Winona State University in Winona, Minnesota. JENNIFER L. JONES BARBOUR is a Lecturer in the Department of Commu- nication Studies in the Moody College of Communication at the University of Texas at Austin. They are co-fırst authors of this essay. The authors thank Martin Medhurst and two anonymous reviewers for their criticism and encouragement of this work. Katherine Miller and Charles Conrad offered access to personal archives related to the Bonfıre collapse and the memorial. Leroy Dorsey read early drafts of this article and offered insightful perspective to its improve- ment.
