Monday, November 5th, CC Winn visited Texas A & M University in College Station.
Texas A & M University designation as a Land, Sea, and Space grant institution has become a top institution of choice for many Mavericks.
The students met at Cushing Library for their first tour.
This library is the home to many artifacts and ancient manuscripts.
Students saw a bible written 500 years ago, which had the smell of burnt wood because it was often read next to a camp fire.
Students saw artifacts used in Game of Thrones replicas and originals.
Original scripts of GOT are also housed at Cushing Library.
Second was a dorm tour.
Students visited 3 different style dorms.
Keathley Hall which is a traditional style dorm that is most affordable.
Second students visited Lechner which is a modular style and comes with a mid-range price.
Last Hullabaloo, which is TAMU's up and coming living community directly across from Northgate.
Students transitioned to Rudder Tower to view a motivational video and lunch from McCalister's
Deli.
During lunch, WHS alumni were part of a student panel.
The students answered questions about their whole educational experience and their recent Ring ceremony.
Students proceeded to do a walking tour which ended at the Association of Former Students for a tour of the new building.
Students took pictures with the gigantic 3,000 pound ring outside the Alumni Center.
Maverick chaperones also took a picture with the ring since they are Aggie Alumni.
While at the Association of Former Students, Micheal Chavarria and Adolfo Jimenez were each awarded a $500.00 Scholarship.
The visit was capped with a trip tothe Recreation Center and the Bonfire Memorial in the evening.
