The Big Event is the nation's largest student-run service project, held annually in March to express gratitude to the Bryan/College Station community. To follow suit, DCAM also participates in this time-honored tradition. This year we are partnering with Hope Supply Co., collecting essential items for homeless and at-risk children in Dallas County. Tap the image below for details.

Remind your Aggies to keep an eye out for more scholarship opportunities available to them by visiting the portal and reading those emails! In addition, Texas A&M Foundation loves to make it rain, but only if your student submits their app on time. You can never go wrong with free money!

Introducing BRAD GOULD, Class of 2027 majoring in Agricultural Leadership and Development. As you can tell, Brad is a proud Corps of Cadets member in Squadron 18 Phantoms and looking forward to wearing his Senior boots from Holick's in the very near future!

In his spare time, Brad enjoys video games, Tae-Kwon-Do, the Horticultural Club on campus, hiking, chess, and traveling!  He was especially proud to inform his mom that he's a loud and proud 4.0 student - WHOOP!

DCAM Book Club met in February for a discussion of the second book of the year:  My Friends by Fredrik Backman. 

"This book is absolutely filled with broken people, trying to find where they fit in a world that constantly reminds them they don’t belong, and the people who keep making space for them anyway." Lots of talk about friendships and what they mean. Vast majority loved the book!

Join us Wednesday, March 25 (Central Market @ Preston/Royal-upstairs in the community room) at 7pm  when our book will be: West With Giraffes by Lynda Rutledge. A full list of books for the new year can be found on the DCAM website. The book club is a social branch of DCAM.

It's that time of year to vote on a new DCAM Board for the 2026-2027 academic year! We are officially taking names to fill some shoes because, according to our bylaws, a few term limits are approaching and we're thrilled to expand our sisterhood with YOU!

ALL volunteers are welcome - so feel free to share any strengths or special interests you have because we will find a spot for you! A few of the openings involve party planning, technology, crafting, fundraising, promotions, and marketing - all to support each other and our Aggies. If none of these pique your interest, we'll create something that does! The best part is: all positions include a village of moms to help and new friendships to make so don't be shy, let us get to know you!

Thanks and Gig ‘em,

Carol Barke
