THE AGGIE EXPERIENCE

The Aggie Experience is the root of our organizational culture – a culture of excellence. Launched in 2022, an institutional initiative of the same name recognizes our commitment to create a liberating and empowering experience for all and an environment that speaks to our right to be the very best. The Aggie Experience requires that we apply our core values in advancing the university, and that we serve, treat and teach others with respect and excellence. It demands that we use feedback for continuous improvement in business processes, implement best practices in our work throughout our university and measure our efficacy in the range of strategies and tactics required to meet our standard of excellence. 

The ethos behind this initiative was foremost in the minds of the creators of this plan.
