In today's university, we see ourselves as educators, scholars and administrators.
Students benefit from an environment with myriad opportunities for enriching learning experiences.
I am interested in exploring the importance of student involvement in extra-curricular activities, not only for the sake of other students and the university as a whole, but also for personal development. Graduate degree programs at TAMU are relatively young. The university can boast approximately thirty years of true graduate strength, in contrast to more than one hundred years of undergraduate strength. Graduate students are still building the environment and community that brings visibility on campus. The great value of graduate student organizations lies in their ability to bring people together, promote democratic discussions, and conduct student votes on issues.
