HOWDY
Howdy, Ags!

We have a fun weekend planned that will keep you and yours entertained.

Start your visit off Friday afternoon by participating in the tours of some of the newer facilities on campus like the Davis Diamond Softball Stadium, the completely redesigned Zachry Engineering Complex and the new Music Activities Center. Friday night we will travel back to our college days with a fajita dinner and dance before migrating to Kyle Field for Midnight Yell Practice. On Saturday, check out the MSC if you haven't been back since its 2012 renovation, take time to wander around the flag room and enjoy the pre-game tailgate party and business meeting in the Bethancourt ballroom.
 
The hospitality room at the Hyatt Place will be open for catching up, playing bones or just taking a break!

While on campus, feel free to act like an Ol Ag and tell the current students how we didn't have that when we were here and how much everything has changed! Please pass the word - the success of the Reunion depends on YOU!

We look forward to seeing everyone in September. Thanks and gig 'em!
