Most people see Texas A&M as a major university.

It started as a small agricultural college on the Texas prairie.

When the school opened in 1876, its mission was simple: educate Texans in agriculture and mechanical trades.

What’s interesting is that this small college eventually produced military leaders, astronauts, engineers, scientists, and business executives who helped shape the nation.

Today Texas A&M is one of the largest and most influential universities in America.

The Texas A&M Foundation is pleased to announce Wayne Roberts ’85 as its new interim president and CEO.

Wayne, who brings more than 35 years of experience building and leading high-achieving organizations, will assume the role June 1, in addition to continuing his duties as a member of the Foundation’s Board of Trustees. In his new role, he is eager to help the Foundation continue growing donor relationships and strengthening partnerships across Texas A&M as the university prepares to celebrate its 150th anniversary this fall.

The Board also extends its gratitude to John Huser ’89, vice president and chief financial officer, for serving as acting leader since December and providing steady leadership during an important time.

Please join us in welcoming Wayne as he steps into his new role leading the Foundation in building a brighter future for Texas A&M: https://bit.ly/4nLK2cn
