I wish to remind all faculty, staff and students of the University
Convocation Tuesday, March 4, 2008, at 11:00 a.m. in the Ferguson Social
Sciences Auditorium.  The speaker is Mr. Gene Stallings, a member of the
Board of Regents of The Texas A&M University System.  Mr. Stallings played
football for Texas A&M University under head coach Paul "Bear" Bryant, went
on to serve as head football coach for A&M, and coached professional
football for 18 years, including serving as assistant coach under Tom Landry
and the Dallas Cowboys for 14 years.  The author of a book, Another Season,
which describes the love he has for his son who was born with Down Syndrome,
Mr. Stallings is a noted speaker and is the recipient of many coaching and
humanitarian awards.

 

ALL 11:00 A.M. CLASSES WILL BE DISMISSED THAT DAY AND FACULTY ARE EXPECTED
TO PARTICIPATE IN FULL ACADEMIC REGALIA.  PROFESSIONAL STAFF AND LIBRARIANS
SHOULD PARTICIPATE, ALSO.  STUDENTS AND STAFF ARE EXPECTED TO ATTEND THE
CONVOCATION.  Offices will close from 11:00 - 12:00 to allow staff members
to attend the Convocation.  

 

Faculty and professional staff participating in the processional should
assemble in the first floor hallway of the Ferguson Social Sciences Building
no later than 10:50 a.m. for the processional.  Dr. John Ballotti, Assistant
