Today's System Spotlight: Texas A&M University–Central Texas, one of our 11 universities. Texas A&M University-Central Texas is the only public university in Texas that exclusively recruits and serves transfer students at the baccalaureate level, with more than 50 undergraduate and graduate degree programs. It is one of the most affordable public universities in the state.

“Today marks a major step in bringing increased research funding to Stephenville. We are proud of the work being done by Tarleton State University and Texas A&M AgriLife to benefit the region. Their close collaboration here is just another example of the benefits that come with being a part of The Texas A&M University System.” - Chancellor John Sharp

We are grateful for the ongoing support for Texas A&M-Fort Worth!

From preparedness to response to recovery, The Texas A&M University System now serves and protects more Texans than ever when disaster strikes. We are proud of our state agencies who are answering the call this week to help our fellow Texans, their families, and their animals recover from Hurricane Beryl. A&M System employees are part of more than 2,500 responders deployed by and stationed throughout Texas supporting the state's storm response. We could not be prouder of them!

We welcomed Office of the Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick to the Texas Division of Emergency Management Regional Headquarters and Staging Area at Texas A&M-RELLIS today to give him a firsthand look at how System employees are working to help Texans recover from Hurricane Beryl. We are thankful to state lawmakers for entrusting the A&M System and our state agencies to help our fellow Texans prepare and recover from disasters like Hurricane Beryl.

Thank you to everyone who joined us last night for the annual Fourth of July Fireworks and Drones Show at Texas A&M-RELLIS! And thank you again to all of our sponsors for making last night's community event possible!
