Criteria

Many highly successful alumni have graduated from Texas A&M. It would be impossible to quantify. It is the demonstrated commitment and donation of “Time and Treasure”, along with a history of the prospective honoree’s “Talent”, that makes an individual a future potential recipient of the prestigious Mays Business School Outstanding Alumni Award.

Prospective nominees must possess a history of contributing “Time, Treasure & Talent” as defined here.

Time

Must demonstrate the commitment of “Time” including but not limited to speaking engagements with Mays Business School students, service on Mays Advisory Boards, and other similar contributions. Consideration will also be given to the donation of “Time” with regard to involvement in other Texas A&M University activities such as the Association of Former Students, The 12th Man Foundation, The Texas A&M Foundation, and more. The contribution to Mays Business School is not the sole criteria.

Treasure

Shall have made a past or committed to a future financial contribution for Mays Business School. In addition to that critical Mays contribution, consideration will also be given to financial commitments to the above-mentioned Texas A&M organizations. The donation of a candidate’s “Treasure” should recognize and be all-inclusive of any voluntary financial contribution and/or commitment that further the recognition and standing of organizations and activities across Texas A&M University.

Talent

Must have led an exemplary and highly successful career all the while demonstrating the Core Values of Mays Business School and Texas A&M University.
