Texas A&M University School of Law


The real meaning of this is to make us complete.
Texas A&M is a nationally ranked, tier 1 research
university, and most of our peers have a Law
School. We haven't had one, it's about time.
It is an opportunity, not to just have a feather
in our cap but also for us to contribute to
society by the kind of graduates we produce
and the scholarship we have in much better
ways.
This has always been a Law School that has
had a distinct student focus to it and has
connected to our local community. I think
with the transition to Texas A&M University,
we're going to have even greater resources,
greater pipelines for diverse, well-qualified
students.
Texas Wesleyan was the unique place to go
to Law School. A lot of our graduates still
work here, live here, and it is exciting that
we will have the opportunity to really be
a part of this transition and this new environment
of Texas A&M University School of Law.
The Aggie Honor Code is so instilled in every
student that I think it really does put forth
not just ethical lawyers, but lawyers that
have an extreme sense of loyalty and dedication
to their profession. I think that the Aggie
way of life and the Aggie Code perfectly compliments
the legal profession.
The real difference between lawyers is what
has happened when 90% put it away and the
other 10% continued to work hard on the product
to make it as perfect as it can be. That,
I think, is the Texas A&M way and if that
comes to the Law School, we will graduate
the best law students in Texas, by far.


Texas A&M Researcher Explains Forecast Of Power Outages Before A Hurricane Hits


The project is a joint
collaboration between Johns Hopkins
and Texas A&M, and it focuses on
developing models for predicting
power outages prior to a hurricane
making landfall. And so these
models are based on information
about the power system,
information about the hurricane,
and information about environmental conditions.
We put all of that together
in a statistical framework,
and then forecast how many customers
are going to be without power,
how many outages are going to take place
prior to a hurricane occurring so that
power companies can actually make
decisions that minimize the
damage to their system and minimize the
outage time for their customers.
