Just one year after the official launch of the "Lead by Example" campaign, a comprehensive effort to raise $4 billion by the year 2020, Texas A&M University has surpassed the halfway point of its fundraising goal. In its 2016 annual report, the Texas A&M Foundation announced that "Lead by Example" has raised $2.3 billion as of Aug. 31 and that the Foundation will make a record $103.9 million available to Texas A&M University.



Capital improvements on campus have also played a role in the campaign total. In addition to its $458 million renovation of Kyle Field, which completed in 2015, the university is in the midst of many active construction projects, such as:

The Gardens at Texas A&M, with major support by Amy '84 and Tim Leach '82



The Zachry Engineering Education Complex, named through a $25 million lead gift from the Zachry Group



The John D. White '70 - Robert L. Walker '58 Music Activities Center, named through a $10 million gift from the Ed Rachal Foundation



We could not have achieved this milestone without the dedication of our donors. The overwhelming support of former students, corporations, and friends of Texas A&M is what propels this institution of higher learning forward for generations to come. Thanks and Gig 'Em!
