Texas A&M University Legacies
In this episode of ‘Around Texas with Chancellor John Sharp,’ we tell the stories of two men who left lasting marks at Texas A&M University.
Dr. Al Wagner
Retired professor, Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences
Food technologist, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service
Director, Food, Technology and Processing Laboratory
Dr. Wagner’s career as a food technology specialist included contributions to NASA’s Spacelab. But as he looks back on his career, the work he is most proud of is the time he spent as the volunteer-coach for the Texas A&M Rodeo Team.
Dr. Donny Hamilton
Professor, Department of Anthropology
Director, Conservation Research Laboratory
Director, Center for Maritime Archaeology and Conservation
From restoring cannons from the Alamo to exploring sunken cities, Dr. Donny Hamilton has done it all. Dr. Hamilton recently retired as the director of the Conservation Research Laboratory at Texas A&M University. He leaves an impressive legacy in the field as his students are represented in practically every marine archeology lab in the world.
