Ronald Skaggs, who received bach

College of Architecture, is chairman
of HKS Architects in Dallas.
"Texas A&M has affected our lives
in so many ways. This commitment
allows us to give something back,"
said Ronald Skaggs, who is also a
fellow in the American Institute of
Architects. “What makes Texas A&M
special, in addition to what you learn
in the classroom and the architec
ture studio, is the 'other education’
— life outside of the classroom and
as former students. That is so much
a part of the Aggie experience."
