Our Focus
CREATE AWARENESS
The Rudder Association is providing a means to delineate and present a candid and honest awareness of the culture dynamics and FACTUAL News of Events at Texas A&M. Educating former, current, and future Aggies in these matters is a key strategy in The Rudder Association’s mission to help invigorate an environment and culture for developing leaders for Texas, its communities and beyond. We are also working on social media channels to bring various news articles and information directly to Aggies without Censorship or Bias.
Academic Freedom
College campuses should be marketplaces of ideas not centers for indoctrination. Faculty should feel free to pursue scientifically valid research and follow it wherever the empirical evidence leads. Students should be exposed to a diversity of viewpoints and be permitted and encouraged to engage in robust classroom dialogue without fear of censure or discrimination. The Rudder Association will hold the administration accountable for providing such an environment.
Support Students
The Rudder Association is working to support a number of student organizations to help Embrace the Spirit of Aggieland. Our goal is to support students that have a passion for Texas A&M Traditions, Culture, Core Values and Academic excellence. We annually sponsor student awards that support outstanding Aggie Students. In addition, we hold a Leaders and Legends event at the beginning of each academic year that connects current students leaders with prominent Aggie Legends at round-table discussions.
Support Faculty
The Rudder Association is dedicated to helping Texas A&M support faculty and LEADERS that understand and appreciate the Spirit of Aggieland. We will work with the Chancellor, the Board of Regents, Texas Legislature and Leaders of the Texas A&M System to support faculty who respect the Core values of Respect, Excellence, Leadership, Loyalty, Integrity, Selfless Service that have helped make Texas A&M students a desired resource in the military and private sector worldwide.
Continuous Education
The Rudder Association is focused on helping current students Promote, Perpetuate and Embrace the Spirit of Aggieland. We are dedicated to helping any student organization further the Core values of Respect, Excellence, Leadership, Loyalty, Integrity, Selfless Service that have helped make Texas A&M students a desired resource worldwide.
