Mays students today have plenty in common with Aggies of the past. They are committed to serving their communities. They’re ambitious and courteous, involved and accessible. And they represent every type of leader from student body president and MSC Council president to peer mentor.
But the e-generation has a whole new perspective on the world. The youngest freshmen today were born after the fall of the Berlin Wall. They are wireless, yet always networked and always connected—even here in the halls of Wehner, where they can surf the Internet from their laptops or grab a spot in a computer lab. They’ve grown up with Starbucks, and for them “Google” has always been a verb.
Mays wanted to know how much it’s changed—or how much it’s stayed the same—for the Classes of 2008, 2009 and 2010. We asked five students to chronicle their lives in film for one week this spring so we could get a glimpse of what Texas A&M and Mays looks like from their point of view.
Here’s what we found:
