Be A Hullabaloo U Instructor: Apply By March 14

Hullabaloo U is a first-year experience course designed to help welcome and transition new first-year students to Texas A&M University. Each section of Hullabaloo U provides a community for approximately 25 students, led by a faculty/staff instructor and an undergraduate peer mentor. Instructors teach a semester-long, zero-credit-hour transition-to-college course that meets weekly for 50 minutes. Curriculum resources are provided, so no previous teaching experience is necessary. Instructors receive a $500 professional development bursary, but most importantly, they are a touchpoint for new students every week throughout their first semester.

Visit the Office for Student Success website for more information, including minimum requirements, an informational video and more. To be considered, complete the Hullabaloo U instructor online application by Friday, March 14. For additional questions, contact Katie Campbell, Program Manager for the First Year Experience, at k_campbell@tamu.edu.

Glenn Hegar Chosen As Sole Finalist To Be Chancellor Of The Texas A&M University System

Last Friday, the Board of Regents selected Comptroller Glenn Hegar ’93 as the sole finalist to be chancellor of The Texas A&M University System. Hegar served in the Texas House of Representatives and Texas Senate before first being elected comptroller in 2014. He won re-election in 2018 and 2022.

Hegar, who grew up in Hockley, is a sixth-generation Texan who grew up farming land that has been in his family since the mid-1800s. He is a 1993 graduate of Texas A&M and a graduate of St. Mary’s University, where he earned a Master of Arts and his law degree. At the University of Arkansas, he earned his Master of Laws.

Under state law, there is a 21-day comment period before the Board can finalize their selection.

If given final Board approval, Hegar would succeed Chancellor John Sharp, the longest-serving chancellor in the history of the Texas A&M System. Sharp will be stepping down as chancellor on June 30 after almost 14 years.
