    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.

    THE TEXAS A&M FOUNDATION MAGAZINE | FALL 2009 PRESIDENT’S LETTER Foundation Steers Steady Course In September the Texas A&M Foundation celebrated its 56th birthday and 10th anniversary in the Jon L. Hagler Center. It was a delight to see more than 400 of you—our former students and friends—at our pregame celebration Sept. 5. Much has changed since we moved into our new building in 1999. Many of you recall when the corner of Houston and what used to be “Jersey” Street was the University Police station. A few of you might remember even further back, when this spot was the location of an old county project house built in the late 1930s. There is a certain elegant symbolism in the fact that the campus home to major-gift philanthropy—the Hagler Center—sits on the site of a fundamental act of charity: folks back home helping poor kids go to college. Ten years ago the Foundation employed 72 people and managed assets of $537.9 million. Today we have 95 on our staff and oversee $1.2 billion in assets for Texas A&M. Back then we didn’t have an Internet and fans were just good Ags at Kyle Field, not people following our Facebook page. I’m privileged to say that my position and title have not changed since 1993. Bob Rutledge, my predecessor, directed the Foundation for 12 years before me. I hope you agree that this stable leadership, along with your generous gifts, has contributed to our success. Leadership change at A&M has been much in the news.

    COUNCIL FOR THE BUlLT ENVIRONMENT Co-Chairs: Dr. Carol A. Fierke, Provost and Executive Vice President Dr. Jerry R. Strawser, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer September 18, 20 18 MEMORANDUM TO: President Michael K. Young President, Texas A&M University SUBJECT: CBE Recommendation: Sponsorship Signage The Athletics Department and A&M Ventures are seeking approval for sponsorship requests at Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park, Davis Diamond Softball Stadium, and Kyle Field Stadium. These requests would require graphics/signage at each facility. • AARP is interested in sponsoring the home radio booth at Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park. The sigt1age would be on the face of the press box. • Chickfila would like the opportunity to sponsor the foul poles at both baseball and softball fi eld s. Any possible impairment to the foul poles, either with in stallation or removal, would be very minimal. • A Ford sponsorship request is to be placed on the outside of Kyle Field Stadium next to the Hall of Champions signage. MARCOMM has seen and approved the renderings from a marketing and branding standpoint, as it fits within the overall brand strategy of Texas A&M. This request is tied to a multi-media rights contract that allows the university to seek sponsorship tied to television/radio sponsorship for static signs and venues and also indicates corporate signage. Page 427 of the Campus Master Plan addresses Commercial, Temporary and Mi scellaneous Signs: To provide a consistent signage plan for Texas A&M Un iversity, exterior-facing commercial signage (those specifically intended to be viewed by the general public), other than outlined in these recommendations, is not permitted on the university campus.
