TAMUC student body president
and a junior elementary educa
tion major, said he is excited
about the enhanced educational
opportunities that will be avail
able to the students.
For example, A&M and TAMUC
are developing a five-year engi
neering program that will allow
students to earn two bachelor’s
degrees. Students will attend
TAMUC for three years, then trans
fer to A&M to complete their engi
neering curriculum. Students will
receive a bachelor’s degree from
TAMUC in math, computer science
or physics, and a engineering
bachelor’s degree from A&M.
McGruder also said the TAMUC

“We think the world of him,”
Wiatt said. “He’s done a lot for
our department. He listens to us
and shares our concerns. He has
considerable interest in the safe
ty of everyone on campus.”
In addition to the variety his
job offers, Gaston said, he enjoys
the people he works with.
“I enjoy the opportunity to
work with so many bright,
intelligent and diligent faculty,
staff and students,” Gaston
said. “This campus has an
enormous sense of pride and
conviction about what we are
doing and our colleagues are
energetic and optimistic.”
Gaston said A&M is unique
because the students, staff and
faculty are all trying to make the
undergraduate and graduate
experience the most successful
one possible.
“I believe the president, the
vice presidents, deans, direc

share that agenda (of being sue-

opportunity to train guide dog

Despite his many achieve

only debate is about how best
to achieve it.”
The future of A&M, Gaston
said, involves maintaining the
reputation it has already estab

“I believe Texas A&M

“We’ll do everything possible to
make the environment here
one in which all students are
welcome and feel welcome.”
Gaston stressed that he and
his staff are available to the stu
dents for questions or concerns.
“I am always willing to take
time to meet with any person or
group,” Gaston said.
Gaston said he loves the
University, and feels A&M fac

would be the clergy and mother

being a faculty member at a

University,” he said.

Czelusta’s said his life

of his giving back to A&M.
