Howdy! Welcome to WikiProject Texas A&M. This project formed from a group of Aggie Wikipedians who worked to promote the Texas A&M University article to Featured Article status. Successful at this task, we felt that the best way to coordinate improvements to Texas A&M Articles was to form a WikiProject. Wikiproject Texas A&M has made significant progress on Texas A&M pages. We have:
