It was a great honor to us to host Mr. Darren Woods, the CEO and

Chairman of ExxonMobil, at our Executive Series event this semes-

and executives of major oil and gas companies to share their

roads to success with our student members. As an Aggie himself,

it was a pleasure to hear Mr. Woods speak about his pathway to

success and hear about how the Aggie core values resonate

within his own company.
