COLLEGE STATION -- A record number of approximately 5,400 Texas A&M University students scheduled to receive both undergraduate and graduate degrees during the four spring commencement exercises this weekend (May 11-12), also includes a record number of 116 Aggie student-athletes taking part in the ceremonies at Reed Arena.

“What an exciting weekend for these Aggies and we join with their families in celebrating their success in the classrooms and labs,” Director of Athletics Bill Byrne said. “To have a record number of athletes graduate during a year in which so many of our teams have performed so well, really speaks to the type of student-athletes we have here in Aggieland. They are truly committed to being champions in every facet of their lives and earning a degree from Texas A&M is quite an accomplishment. I know our coaches, staff members and former students join me in saying job well done.”

Three ceremonies are set for Friday with one slated for Saturday morning followed by the commissioning ceremonies for graduates entering the military.

All ceremonies are open to the public without need for tickets according to university officials.
