Mays Business Honors Program

This week, the Business Honors Staff and student duo, Arjun Bhatt and Colby Mechem, made their way to the Business Honors and Leadership Conference at UT Austin. It was a great opportunity for Business Honors programs from across the nation to come together and share insights on boosting student engagement and success. A highlight of the conference was Claire Raabe and Colby’s presentation on Professional Development Events, where they were able to share about the ins and outs of planning events. We were thrilled to exchange ideas and learn from this fantastic experience. Looking forward to implementing what we learned! Ashley AndersonRyder Patterson

Today, our students had the opportunity to attend a Mays Leader Forum featuring Cyndy Tonniges '91. During the session, she shared her experiences at TriQuest Technologies, an Aggie-founded IT solutions provider. The students gained insights into the small business aspects of operating an IT company, which included topics such as recruiting, insurance, vendor relationships, payroll, marketing, and office management. It was an enriching experience, and we deeply appreciate her willingness to pass on her expertise to the next generation of leaders!

This week, our students had the opportunity to attend an Executive Speaker Series featuring Al Wagner, a seasoned CPA and entrepreneur with over 40 years of experience in transforming businesses. Al talked to the students about his career and his expertise in corporate finance, tax strategy, consulting, and business scaling. He also provided valuable insights into what it means to be a leader of character in the business world.

A huge shoutout to Irene Munoz Mansoa '27, Arjun Bhatt '26, Zach Rehfeld '26, and Evelyn Fung '25 for being awarded the Phi Kappa Phi Outstanding Student Awards! This recognition is awarded by Dean Sharp to students who exceed expectations in and out of the classroom at Texas A&M. We are so proud!

Last week, we were joined by former Business Honors student and Tecovas VP of Merchandising Strategy & Consumer Insights, Christopher Naeger '16! Chris spoke to students about how to approach early careers and his unconventional path to his fascinating role at Tecovas. We are so grateful to Chris for visiting and contributing to the professional development goals of our students!
