Two words β¦ countless lives affected.
THANK YOU!
Dear Friends,
As our cover illustrates, βThank youβ is a universal concept. While I
try to always remember to say thank you when I have the pleasure of
visiting with you, I say thank you every day at Mays Business School
when I see the results of your generosity.
β’ I say thank you when I see our outstanding young people, many of
whom would not be able to attend Mays Business School or Texas
A&M University without your support of scholarships and fellowships.
β’ I say thank you for the exemplary work of our world-class faculty
and the difference they make in the lives of our students - many of
these whom were recruited and retained at Mays Business School
through your support of endowed Eminent Scholar Chairs, Chairs,
Professorships, and Fellowships.
β’ I say thank you when I hear our students speak about the life-changing
experiences they have through study abroad programs, domestic
field trips, competitions, and conferences. These experiences would
not be possible without your support of excellence and professional
development funds.
β’ I say thank you when I walk into the Wehner Building and through
Jerry and Kay Cox Hall, facilities that are second to none and allow
us to provide an outstanding education to our students.
As you read this issue of Benefactor, you will realize how important
your generosity is to Mays and the lives that you touch, each and every
day. On behalf of our students, staff, and faculty who are so profoundly
affected by you, please accept one final THANK YOU!

I am truly grateful
FROM THE TIME I EnTERED high school, I knew I wanted to attend Texas A&M University. Although I grew up 14 hours
outside of Texas in Auburn, Alabama, I was fortunate enough to have a father who was an Aggie and who instilled in me from a young age a passion for Texas A&M and all it represents. However, as an out-of-state student and the oldest of five children, I knew that attending Texas A&M would be impossible without the aid of scholarships.
Because my desire to attend Texas A&M outweighed other concerns, I worked hard in high school and was fortunate enough to receive generous support from the university, thus enabling me to enroll in the fall of 2008. Since that time, I have spent four years experiencing the culture, values and atmosphere that make Texas A&M truly great.
Texas A&M was founded on six core values β integrity, loyalty, excellence, respect, leadership and selfless service. Over the past years, I have had the opportunity to experience each of these values in action both inside and outside the classroom.
Excellence The core value of excellence permeates every aspect of life at Texas A&M. In the classroom, I am surrounded by students and faculty members who demonstrate academic excellence on a daily basis. Through organizations such as the Mays Business Fellows program, I have met and worked with individuals who are passionately committed to achieving a standard of excellence in everything they do. Working with such people has taught me that pursuing excellence is an essential part of being an Aggie.
Integrity The Aggie Honor Code is well-known throughout the University: βAn Aggie does not lie, cheat, or steal, or tolerate those who do.β However, at Texas A&M, the ideas of following the honor code and practicing integrity arenβt just theories β they are an integral part of campus life. Classroom discussions on the meaning and implications of the honor code are a common occurrence, and such activities have enabled me to apply the honor code to living a life of integrity every day.
Leadership During my time at this university, I have been fortunate enough to work with and learn from many exceptional student leaders. Organizations like Mays Business Fellows, Sigma Phi Lambda, the Texas A&M Flying Club, and Maggies: Women in Leadership have all challenged and motivated me
to make the most out of my individual gifts, while enabling me to follow in the footsteps of other outstanding Aggies who have dedicated themselves to becoming strong and effective leaders.
Loyalty and Respect Through my interactions with other Aggies, I have learned the value of relationships that are founded on loyalty and mutual respect. Iβve found that when students and faculty foster an environment of respect and loyalty such as the one here at Texas A&M, the results can be stunning. Because Aggies respect each other, we are able to
learn from our differences and develop a more complete understanding of the world.
Selfless Service The final, and perhaps the most important, core value on which Texas A&M is founded is that of selfless service. At Texas A&M, students and faculty members do not just talk about service β they live this value every day. As a student in Aggieland, I have been fortunate enough to serve not just the local community with my fellow Aggies, but also communities around the world. This past summer, I traveled to the community of Torti Abajo, Panama, with 30 other Aggies. We spent approximately 10 days working with small business owners, building relationships and providing them with business knowledge and resources. We have continued to develop these relationships, and plan to persist in making return trips in the future to foster economic development within the community.
In addition to serving abroad, I have had the opportunity to work with underprivileged elementary students in the Bryan Independent School District to improve their math and reading skills. I have also been fortunate enough serve local charitable organizations such as new Horizons with the women of Maggies: Women in Leadership. Finally, I have forged relationships with international students via the Conversation Partners program, which matches local students with foreign students to improve the studentsβ English-speaking skills.
Clearly, the six core values upon which this university was founded have profoundly impacted my life. However, absolutely none of my experiences at Texas A&M would have been possible without the support of Mays Business Schoolβs scholarship donors. Because of your generosity, I have been given a chance to learn and grow and serve at Texas A&M University, and for that, I am truly grateful.

FIRST, I WOULD LIKE TO ExTEnD special gratitude toward Tidewater Marine, the sponsors of my scholarship - especially Dean Taylor,
CEO, and Chris Orth β78, vice president of sales, Western Hemisphere. The scholarship is named in honor of Morris Foster β65, former chairman of the Texas A&M Board of Regents.
Transition Just over one year ago I was a captain in the U.S. Army, in charge of over 240 soldiers in Afghanistan. Fast forward to today, where I am pursuing my full-time MBA at Mays Business School. Some may wonder why I chose to leave behind a successful Army career for the sake of pursuing an unknown avenue in business. I look at graduate school as an investment in myself, after having spent the last seven years serving our country and constantly concerned with the welfare of others first. But business school is not a selfish ambition, as every class involves some degree of small-group teamwork. I believe the Mays MBA Class of 2013 has developed a unique camaraderie, despite our competition for high marks.
Decisions As a Blackhawk helicopter pilot in Iraq, I faced many split-second decisions that dictated mission success or failure. To a less intense degree, I carefully weighed my options for the best B-schools in the nation. Encouraged by my wife, Dr. Jocelyn Herman (Mogle) β03, I applied to Mays mostly due to her enthusiasm for all things A&M. In the end I came to Mays for a multitude of reasons, including its reputation within the region and it small class sizes. However, the deciding factor in my decision was the award of a leadership scholarship which, along with the GI Bill, enabled me to not have to worry about
I am richly blessedtuition and, more importantly, supporting a family while in school.
Tradition As a West Point graduate, I had certain expectations about tradition. Take, for instance, the ring tradition, which West Point initiated and Texas A&M has made famous. I think this campus has an incredible respect for tradition, both on the outside through an incredible school spirit and in an unspoken way. I still serve in the Army Reserves as an adjunct faculty member in the ROTC department. Once a week I wear my uniform to class and make
the trek across campus. Uniforms are part of the culture here, yet it still surprises me to hear so many βSirsβ from the cadets and to receive acknowledgement from civilian faculty, staff and students. Texas A&M advertises the βmilitary friendly MBAβ and, judging by my classmates, is attracting many of the best and brightest current and former military members.
During the last year here I have been richly blessed. The ability to interact closely with professors and the dean himself is an incredible opportunity afforded by this program. Our MBA intramural soccer team advanced to the semifinals this fall. Some of my classmates and I saw a need within the program for a faith-based fellowship, which is now called Graduate Christian Business Leaders and has strong support from faculty and administration. Also, my wife is obviously thrilled to be back in Aggieland and was able to find local employment as an optometrist. In short, my experience in the Full-Time MBA at Mays Business School has been beyond expectations and is undoubtedly preparing me well for a career as a business professional.

An importAnt pArt of A tenured professorβs job is the research they do. During the teaching months, it is difficult to find uninterrupted blocks of time to do research. research professors really count on the summer months as a time to be productive research-wise. not everyone knows this, but faculty at A&m typically get a nine-month salary (September to may). Summer pay has to come from other sources. the generous contributions from donors such as the Van Houtens support our research during the summer and directly contribute to our schoolβs research reputation. i am exceedingly grateful for the research support from the Van Houten professorship over the past few years. thank you. And now, as i transition from my research position to my new role as Associate Dean for Graduate programs, i will assume the Ljungdahl endowed chair in Accounting. i look forward to this and would like to express my gratitude for this generous support.

Cocanougher Chair lured worldly professor to Mays
LUIS GOMEz-MEJIA SIMPLIFIES COnCEPTS like management trends and executive compensation by inserting them into scenarios from foreign lands he has worked in, bolstered by academic research he
has conducted over his 30-year career.
The renowned researcher and author teaches research seminars on organizational theory, studying various perspectives of organizations and how decisions are made. The tone of the class is conversational and largely theoretical, with real examples thrown in, he says, βjust to keep it interesting.β
One student, Mark C. Gibson, says he was surprised by his professorβs teaching style. Class discussions trump book learning, and students are graded by their peersβ opinions and group conclusions. βI've enjoyed his class and his unique perspective,β Gibson explains. βHe is well traveled and has more than enough experiences to give our class a holistic view of the world.β
Before arriving at Texas A&M in 2009, Gomez-Mejia taught at Arizona State University, the University of Colorado at Boulder, the University of Florida and the University of Minnesota. After stints in Spain and 15 Latin American countries, he strings his sentences together in a melodious thread, reflecting fluency in Portuguese and Spanish.
Gomez-Mejia is the Benton Cocanougher Chair in Business β a position he says attracted him to Texas A&M. The $1 million chair named in honor of the former business dean
was made possible by a gift from Lowry Mays β57 and his wife Peggy, who donated $7.5 million in matching funds to create academic chairs. βThat allowed me to be here, both financially and professionally,β Gomez-Mejia says.
Gomez-Mejia considers Mays βa very strong research culture with some excellent scholars β¦ There is a very eclectic faculty from a broad scope of interests and backgrounds. That keeps things interesting.β
Gomez-Mejia has received numerous international recognitions for his teaching and research, including Doctor Honoris Causa at carlos III University (Spain), Hall of Fame of Academy of Management (awarded to 33 professors out of approximately 20,000 Academy of Management members), Trailblazer Award from the national Management Doctoral Students Association (only one national award is given per year), Regents Professor at Arizona State University (awarded to a maximum of 1 percent of the faculty) and "Best Alumni Award" across all fields from the University of Minnesota (out of approximately 250,000 graduates). He is one of the most highly cited management professors, ranked as #69 over a 25-year period from a population of 20,000 Academy of Management members.
Gomez-Mejiaβs department head, Murray Barrick, says he has made a substantial contribution to the department and is able to bring his research on the application of incentives β particularly the use of pay β to the classroom in a unique way. Gomez-Mejia has been well received among the undergraduate students and some of the best doctoral students in the college, Barrick says, and also has engaged executives in intensive executive development opportunities.
βHe is on the forefront of understanding the impact of different reward strategies,β Barrick explains. βConsequently, our students at Mays get the most sophisticated instruction about how to effectively utilize rewards broadly, but also how to leverage pay to motivate and engage people at work.β
Doctoral student David Boss says Gomez-Mejia came to each session of his doctoral seminar β an informal, discussion-based environment β with more than enough material to facilitate discussion for 2.5 hours.
Barrick says he considers Gomez-Mejia βa significant addition to our facultyβ for numerous reasons β chiefly, his humble demeanor and willingness to volunteer within the college. He has responded favorably to requests from Dean Jerry Strawser to serve on the college promotion and tenure committee and to lead a search for a key hire.
βIt is difficult to say how quickly he has integrated himself into the heart of our department, but he has,β Barrick says. βWe are lucky to have him as a colleague.β
βMays has a very strong research
culture with some excellent scholars.β

Kelly Heape parsons β85 DIDnβT TAKE HER first international trip until three years after graduating from Texas A&M, and she wanted to ensure students who followed her through Mays
Business School got an opportunity to do that earlier than she did.
She funded a $100,000 gift to establish the Kelly Heape parsons β85 Business Honors program International Travel endowment. Distributions from the endowment will be used for international travel support for business honors students. Business honors is a program within Mays that provides 30 hours of honors course work, including an internship, as well as extensive professional development opportunities. Business honors students also earn a double major with no additional course work.
Parsons says her first trip came with a position with PepsiCoβs international audit group, three years after she received her bachelorβs in accounting. Since that time, she has spent many years in international business, including ex patriot assignments in Canada, Australia and the UK.
βThe education I received at A&M was a great foundation,

βKellyβs generous gift will have a significant impact on our ability to provide international opportunities to our students,β said Mays Dean Jerry Strawser. βThis gift reinforces our commitment to providing our honors students with important learning opportunities outside of the classroom and is consistent with the global focus of our Schoolβs activities.β
Parsons has donated to the Association of Former Students for 25 years. She says she and her husband Philip M. Parsons β a native of Australia she met while traveling β have been involved with several charitable educational organizations. She said she was happy to expand her generosity to Mays.
βI am grateful to Mays for providing me an excellent educational foundation that has enabled me to achieve many of my life and professional goals,β she says.

MAyS BUSInESS SCHOOL, THE 12TH MAn Foundation and Breakaway Ministries have helped a Houston couple stay connected to Texas A&M University
for three decades. now the pair can assist individual students through the scholarship fund they established.
The Marian l. β82 and Willie T. langston II β81 Business Honors scholarship program was created through a $500,000 gift in early 2012. The Langstonsβ connection with Texas A&M has continued beyond the pairβs bachelorβs degrees in accounting: their daughter Laura graduated from Texas A&M in 2010 in marketing and supply chain, daughter Becca is a freshman at Texas A&M majoring in education and son Will attended Texas A&M briefly before joining the U.S. Army.
Willie langston is the CEO of Avalon Advisors, LLC. He graduated Summa Cum Laude from Texas A&M in 1981 and from the Graduate School of Business of Stanford in 1985. He was named one of Maysβ Outstanding Alumni in 2007 and serves on the Deanβs Development Council at Mays.
The scholarship recipients will be selected based on academic achievement, extracurricular activities and financial need. The Langstons asked to be notified each time the scholarship is awarded because they would like to meet and engage with each recipient.
βAny student who receives a scholarship gets tremendous benefit,β said Mays Dean Jerry Strawser. βHowever, those receiving one of the Langstonsβ scholarships get an
Scholarship fund represents coupleβs faith in young people
additional bonus β the opportunity to know and learn from Willie and Marian. Their love for young people and passion for education are simply unmatched.β
The Langstons have taught high-school-aged students at their church for years, and they frequently visit the Breakaway Ministries services at Texas A&M. βWe just have a heart for young people,β Marian langston says. βWe want to help mentor these recipients and them help them along their paths in any way we can.β
Willie Langston says the scholarship will reinforce to the students that they are valued. βIt is amazing what our students can do when theyβre unleashed and allowed some freedom to bring their ideas to life,β Willie Langston says. βDean Strawser has done a great job of unleashing the students and of hiring great people to work with them and let them accomplish all they are capable of.β
When Langston was in college he was president of both the Baptist Student Union and the Business Student Council and he helped organize the first College of Business Career Fair, which today has evolved to a semiannual event that is one of the largest student-run fairs in the nation. He says he has gotten to know several of the BSC presidents over the past 10 years, and he is amazed at what they accomplish. βWhat it is now is massive compared to what we did. Iβm really proud to see what all they are doing,β he says. βThe Business Student Council has become a special and strong organization within our school and it is amazing to watch. It is truly an exciting time at Mays.β

Foundation named for βgivingβ creates scholarship fund
PAIR OF MAyS BUSInESS SCHOOL GRADUATES
have made a $100,000 gift through the foundation they created named the II Corinthians 9:7
Foundation. Accordingly, the donation will fund the βII Corinthians 9:7 Foundation Business Honors scholarship.β
The organizers of the donor foundation, Jarrett β93 and Tracy β92 anderson, live in Austin. Tracy graduated with an accounting degree while Jarrett graduated with a degree in business management. Jarrett subsequently also graduated from the University of Texas School of Law in 1996.
The couple has previously funded a separate endowed Presidential Scholarship at Texas A&M.
Jarrett explains the pair created the foundation to benefit others because βwe acknowledge our blessings and appreciate that our success is not derived exclusively from our efforts.β He noted the impact and importance of Texas A&M in preparing him and Tracy to achieve such successes. The scripture referenced in the name of the donor foundation states, β(e)ach of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.β Jarrett stated that he and Tracy are honored to be able to give back to Mays Business School and support its efforts to attract highly-sought-after students.
As administrators of the donor foundation, the Andersons look forward to meeting future recipients of the scholarship.
βThe Andersonsβ gift is truly one from the heart and reflects their foundationβs name and mission,β said Mays Dean Jerry Strawser. βI can only wish that the students who are fortunate enough to benefit from their generosity reflect upon the message in II Corinthians 9:7 as they live their lives and assist others.β

Brittans endow scholarship for business students
Peggy l. and CHarles l. BrITTan β65 HAvE added to their roster of scholarships at Texas A&M University an endowed opportunity award for business students.
The Brittans favor Endowed Opportunity Awards because such an award helped Charles Brittan pay for his Aggie education more than four decades ago. They also like to meet the recipients of their scholarships when possible.
βWe like to have contact with the recipients because we are impressed by every one of them we meet,β Peggy Brittan says. βAnd in industry, across the board, I have been very impressed with Aggie graduates.β
The perpetual nature of the endowed award will ensure recipients for generations to come, and the focus on full-time business majors at Mays pays homage to Peggy Brittanβs career at ExxonMobil. βEven though I didnβt have a degree in business, that is where I worked and what I know,β Peggy Brittan explains. βI dealt with finances and accounting β supported the business side of things.β
Charles Brittan owns C.L. Brittan, an oil and gas field services company.
The Brittans say the care they receive from representatives at the Texas A&M Foundation prompts them to continue giving. βWe really like the way the Foundation treats the donors,β Peggy Brittan says. βThey are very, very good at helping donors find opportunities that suit them well.β
Mays Dean Jerry Strawser expresses his appreciation for the couple. βThe Brittans are donors who give from both the pocket and the heart,β he says. βThe students who benefit from their generosity receive both financial support and personal support. They are true role models for the students they support.β
ExxonMobil matches charitable contributions by retirees and employees 3-to-1 up to $7,500 a year, and Peggy Brittan says the A&M Foundation helps them find additional ways to further enhance their gifts. βPeople say, βI donβt have that kind of money,β but I say, βWe donβt either.β But over the years, we have utilized the ExxonMobil matches, and the Foundation is good about letting us know any time there is a matching donor we can partner with,β she says.

every one of them we meet.β

Baggett β81 boosts business school with professional development endowment
BAGGETT β81 BOOSTS BUSInESS SCHOOL WITH professional development endowment
Shortly after graduating, david C. Baggett β81 quickly transitioned from student to ardent
supporter of Mays Business School.
Baggettβs fast track to graduation with honors at age 20 quickly led to his first job, with Deloitte & Touche. He was the youngest partner in the history of that firm when he was promoted to partner at the age of 29.
At his alma mater, he was one of the youngest members appointed to the Accounting Advisory Council and he is now the longest-serving member of that group.
Baggett has helped with the development of programs β advising on curriculum and program strategies, mentoring students and recruiting graduates, and assisting with fund-raising. βHe began contributing financially to our program immediately after graduation, and the amount of his contributions have increased proportionally with his success in business,β says James Benjamin, accounting department head at Mays and Baggettβs long-time friend.
His most recent gift to Texas A&M of $500,000 went to create the denise and david C. Baggett β81 professional development endowment in support of the Business Honors Program.
Baggett has always seemed more interested in the impact
of his support on the accounting program, Mays and Texas A&M than in recognition for his gifts, Benjamin says. βI am gratified but not surprised with his latest commitment to the Mays Honors Program,β Benjamin says. βDavid has also been a great personal friend and advisor, and I know that he has been a significant, positive influence in my life.β
In return, Baggett says Benjamin has had a profound impact on his professional and personal life. He adds, βDenise and I are blessed to be able to give something back to Mays Business School, and trust that our recent endowment will be meaningful to students in the Business Honors Program for many years to come.β
Baggett was recognized in 2011 as one of the Mays Outstanding Alumni Award winners.
Mays Dean Jerry Strawser says the Baggetts have benefitted many with their generosity. βThrough their most recent commitment to support our students professional development through study abroad and participation in other extracurricular opportunities, they will open many doors for our students and truly influence their lives,β he says.
Dean Strawser continued, βIn addition to his ongoing financial support and other fundraising efforts, Baggett has supported Mays in many other ways including hiring numerous Mays graduates, mentoring MBA students and using Mays Center for Executive Development for the training of his professionals.β
The pair are involved in several charitable endeavors, including the establishment of the david and denise Baggett Teaching award for accounting professors in Mays. Baggett serves on the Deanβs Development Council and the Accounting Department Advisory Council, and he is on the Champions Council of the 12th Man Foundation.
In 2005, Baggett founded Opportune LLP, an energy consulting firm that assists clients with corporate finance, complex financial reporting, process and technology, strategy and organization, dispute resolution, enterprise risk, tax and outsourcing. Opportune serves clients throughout north America and Europe through offices in Houston, Denver and London. The company ranked fourth in the 2011 Aggie 100, which recognizes the fastest growing Aggie-owned or Aggie-led businesses in the world.
Baggett lives in the Houston area and serves on the board of directors of northStar Energy and Marlin Midstream. He previously served on the boards of AMPAM, Genesis Energy, Encore Energy Partners and ERCOT, the independent system operator for electrical markets in Texas. He is actively involved in the several trade organizations, including the IPAA and the Turnaround Management Association.

Mays 2011 Scholarship Banquet
The annual scholarship banquet allows donors to interact with the recipients of their scholarships, and student recipients to thank their donors for their benevolence. Currently, 659 Mays students are awarded scholarships totaling $2,167,485.
Mays scholarship donors and recipients gathered at the annual scholarship Banquet on november 10, 2011. This event celebrates the generosity of Maysβ donors, whose scholarships help pave the way for the next generation of business leaders. This yearβs theme, Making a Difference in the World, highlighted the impact of scholarships on the experience of our students. The banquet has grown from a gathering of 80 to more than 300 β prompting organizers to move the event this year to The Zone club at Kyle Field. Mark your calendars for the 2012 banquet on november 8.
