Howdy, TexAgs!
By now, you may have seen in the media the announcement that A&M is launching a $4 billion comprehensive campaign, the Lead by Example campaign. To put that in perspective, only UCLA among public universities have announced a larger goal. The purpose of this campaign is to bring real world solutions to the great global challenges of our time as only Aggies can. The combination of academic excellence and the core values and traditions that differentiate A&M from every other university in the country uniquely position A&M to solve problems. It's what Aggies do.
In the coming days, weeks, and months, you'll learn more about how we intend to do that, and how you can participate. We look forward to you joining the movement, to Lead by Example.
In the meantime, as a part of the campaign launch, we are conducting a full stadium card stunt. It will be the largest card stunt ever conducted, in a stadium, in the world.
This is an example of what Minnesota did for a card stunt at one of their football games:
As you arrive to your seats, you will find the cards wrapped in plastic. We will do the card stunt right after the Aggie Band performance. Instructions are on the cards, and announcements will be made throughout the game. When the time comes, the announcer will give direction, and there will be people on the field giving cues when to do the stunt. It should be a spectacular visual. When the stunt has ended, feel free to take the cards home as a memento of having participated in this event, or if you choose not to, please help the clean up crews by disposing of the card and the plastic in the extra trash receptacles provided.
This is a huge moment for Texas A&M. We know how great a university this is. It's time for the world to know. I hope you'll be willing to participate in this great event.
Thank you, Gig 'em!
