Texas A&M University has announced that its Institute for Advanced Study will be renamed the Hagler Institute for Advanced Study in honor of Jon L. Hagler, a 1958 graduate of the university. Already a long-standing benefactor, Hagler has made a $20 million gift to the program.

Established in 2010, the institute annually invites national academy and Nobel-caliber academic talent to the university through a fellowship program. These fellows collaborate with faculty and students on cutting-edge research, enrich the academic environment in the classroom, and offer public lectures that enhance the intellectual atmosphere of the community.



Hagler's gift will provide endowment funding for the institute, the income of which will be used to attract and support academic visionaries from around the world. These scholars and leaders will continue to elevate the national reputation of Texas A&M. Additional funding allows the institute to continue providing a gateway for esteemed academics to encourage groundbreaking research and support students in their quest for knowledge.
