College Station
Students at Texas A&M are taking an active role in shaping their curriculum. At College Station, students are engaging faculty to look at the ways in which courses can be taught to better serve the student. This dialogue has occurred across campus, increasing communication among faculty, staff and students. It has also gone beyond the university walls, with business groups becoming more engaged in developing internships and curriculums that will better help students to enter fields of agricultural science and business.

Texas Tech
A common concern of many institutes of higher learning is finding a way to reach out to underserved populations. Through the FSPE grant, Texas Tech was able to build partnerships with Texas A&M to develop video and distance learning programs to reach students outside of the college walls. Now, through distance learning, students at the Texas Tech campus can receive a degree from Texas A&M without ever leaving the Texas Tech campus.
