The Texas A&M University College of Geosciences would like to congratulate its May 2020 graduates. Graduating seniors, families and friends, faculty and staff joined together in an online Graduation Celebration May 7 to celebrate and recognize the students’ accomplishments.

Dean of the College of Geosciences Dr. Debbie Thomas led the event and congratulated the graduates on their significant achievements.

“Aggies, now please draw from your courage, strength and discipline to lead by example — stay safe and empower those around you to protect themselves and others. Your knowledge and skills as geoscientists are critical to the current and future challenges facing society. Geoscientists are the very foundation of sustainability — in addition to meeting today’s needs while enhancing the prosperity and security of future generations, sustainability requires a society that trusts science. Lead us there, Aggie Geoscientists.”
