We’ll also talk to the Aggies who came up with the idea of wearing Red, White and Blue T-shirts to show support for first responders following 9/11. This year, Aggies organized a similar display.

“The threat of not having a Corps of Cadets is something that everyone was worried about,” says Genesis Hatten, member of the Corps.
Hatten and other students worked closely in 2020 and 2021 with Commandant Joe Ramirez and Texas A&M University officials to ensure that COVID-19 would not derail Corp activities as the coronavirus threatened the country.
Alex Richter, a mechanical engineering student at Texas A&M University, designed and fabricated acrylic barriers to help protect students and staff at a local grade school from COVID-19 infection. He made the barriers at the Automated Fabrication & Design Laboratory at the RELLIS Campus in Bryan, Texas.
