At Texas A&M University, we serve with purpose, lead with character and take action for the good of our communities. This is what it means to be an Aggie: to believe that what we can do together is far greater than what any one of us can do alone. For 150 years, Aggies have embodied that belief for Texas and for America. Together, we stand. Together, we serve. Together, we are a force for good. Learn more: tx.ag/2026BrandAnthem

Healthcare is experiencing a worker shortage. That means longer waits, higher costs and less time with your doctor. Researchers at @TAMU_SPH are developing AI agents to fill that gap. They are not trying to replace doctors, but instead give them back the time they need with patients. Read more: tx.ag/9j6raic #TAMU #AggieResearch

In 1876, Texas A&M opened its doors with a purpose that still shapes it today: Put knowledge to work for the public good. One hundred fifty years later, that land-grant mission lives on through education, research and extension. From classrooms and labs to communities across Texas and beyond, Aggies continue to turn knowledge into opportunity and ideas into impact. Read the story: tx.ag/wTfKpBI
