A message from Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi:

鈥淭he pride we have in our campus is what helps make 海角社区 such a special place, and with the new academic year upon us I hope you will help us revive a campus tradition to demonstrate our Aggie spirit and affection.

WELCOME BACK

Read the chancellor鈥檚 to faculty and staff.

鈥淚t鈥檚 called Aggie Pride Fridays, and it encourages members and friends of our campus community to wear 海角社区 apparel every Friday of the school year.

鈥淲earing the Aggie Blue may seem like a small gesture, but it really does support the idea that we are one university regardless of where we may work or study.

鈥淲hile we show our pride and affection for our university year-round, I hope you will join in the fun on Aggie Pride Fridays and proudly display your Aggie Blue for everyone to see.

鈥淚t is a forceful way to demonstrate our solidarity and our love for everything 海角社区 stands for as a world-class university.

鈥淚 hope you will show your 海角社区 spirit and join me in celebrating the Aggie Pride Fridays tradition.鈥   

"Go Ags!"

Sincerely,
 
Linda Katehi

Chancellor
