Welcome to Aggieland!

Howdy Week is Aggieland's official welcome for new and returning students and takes place each fall between move-in and the start of classes at Texas A&M University. Howdy Week is a campus-wide effort of collaboration and is designed to help connect Aggies to a wide array of activities, organizations, and important information to jump-start their time in Aggieland.
