Letter
from the president
Greetings! I am thrilled to have the
opportunity to serve as the 2003 – 2004 Alumni Chapter President. We have been
busy transitioning into our new offices and planning meetings and activities
for the group. We had to overcome a few challenges and now we are motivated and
ready to move forward.
One of our first tasks was to develop a
mission statement that embodies our goals for the organization.
We strive to
provide a forum for Aggies to fellowship,
recruit new A&T students, promote the University through community events,
and contribute funds for university growth and development.
We have planned several activities for the remainder
of the year that will help us realize the objectives above. In order to make
this vision a reality, we need your help and support. I strongly urge you to
attend our next meeting on
