Finding community

“The department gave me more than a degree — it gave me a community and a perspective that I carry with me every day. It’s the place where I learned how to think critically about global challenges, collaborate with others and pursue big dreams.”

— Gideon Kotkowski ’18, former Texas A&M agricultural economics student
