Purchase tickets now!

Dr. Craig Rotter ’92 embodies the Aggie Spirit through a remarkable journey marked by deep commitment, leadership, and a relentless pursuit of a better world. His stories, coming from the small town of Poth (rhymes with “both”) in Wilson County, serve as a reminder that smooth seas never make great sailors. It’s often the rough rides, sometimes alone, that create the adventures that make us who we are.

Initially venturing into the world of retail banking at Frost Bank, Dr. Rotter discovered his true callings within the halls of Texas A&M University, earning four degrees at his alma mater. For 17 impactful years, he dedicated himself to student affairs, within the Department of Residence Life. Here, he championed undergraduate leadership, community development, and academic success, leaving an enduring mark on countless Aggies, staff members, and dear friends.

Dr. Rotter’s passion for education extended to the classroom, where he shared his wisdom
in leadership education courses, like those for the Leadership Living Learning Community (L3C). With over two decades of teaching experience, he earned the respect of both peers and students, s

haping the leaders of tomorrow, continuing to do so today.

In 2018, Dr. Rotter took on a new challenge as the Executive Director for the Texas Rural Leadership Program (TRLP). This initiative within Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service,
reflects his commitment to fostering positive change and inclusivity in rural and marginalized communities. He leads efforts to nurture strong leaders capable of driving lasting transformation, especially where resources are lacking.

Beyond his work life, Dr. Rotter plays pivotal roles in organizations dedicated to progress.
He serves on the Texas A&M University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Development Council (COADC), channeling resources to support the college and student scholarships. His dedication to rural public-school education is evident in his work on the Board of Directors of Collegiate Edu-Nation (P-20 Modeling), offering hope to rural students through a paradigm shift in rural school districts. As a member of the Board of Directors of the San Antonio River Foundation, he contributes to environmental, artistic, and community education projects.

Dr. Craig Rotter’s legacy is one of unwavering dedication and commitment to creating
a more equitable society through education and positive change. With Aggie pride in his heart, he continues to inspire and uplift, ensuring his university’s values shine in every endeavor.

Dr. Craig Rotter’s journeys are a testament to leadership, commitment, and a deep belief
in the potential of individuals and communities. Landing on your feet repeatedly is not easy,
but the adventures are well worth a continuing push. He hopes your life’s impact on the world
is profound at many levels as he is honored to spend time with you on this year’s Aggie
Muster Day (April 21).

2020 Muster for Fort Bend County A&M Club has been cancelled

Fort Bend County A&M Club Aggie Muster Is Canceled

Howdy, Ags,

As precautionary measures are taken to curb the spread of COVID-19, adjustments are being made to events across our country daily, and sadly our local Aggie Muster is no different. Experts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are urging a nationwide halt to gatherings of more than 10 people, citing the risk of the transmission of COVID-19 virus, and President Trump recommended all Americans to follow those guidelines.

With this in mind, we have made the decision to cancel our local Muster this year.

Be assured that the name of every Aggie whose death was reported to The Association of Former Students since the last Muster, will be called and answered with “Here” on April 21.

The university is hosting the campus Muster online this year and I ask that everyone tune-in. The gathering on April 21 will kick off at 6:51 a.m. CDT with The Association of Former Students’ Worldwide Roll Call for the Absent followed by local Muster events, which will play at various times during the day. The student-run campus Muster will start at 7 p.m. All events will also be replayable after their first showing.

The web hub at MusterLive.AggieNetwork.com will also include maps pinpointing Muster events as well as the locations of Aggies who are visiting the page. Participants will be able to stream Muster ceremonies, say “Here” for their fallen comrades, and contribute memories and even photos to an online Reflections Display in honor of the Aggies lost since the last Muster. Visit tx.ag/MusterLive20 for more information.

This decision did not come lightly as we look forward to our time together each year. Stay safe and may God bless you until we gather again at the 2021 Aggie Muster.

Side note: we fund the scholarships we grant each year from Muster and a golf tournament. We did not host a golf tournament last fall due to lack of interest and now will not have Muster. So, if any of you are stir crazy and have an itching to do something, I am looking for crew to pull together a golf tournament (as soon as we’re able to gather together) in order to make sure the funds are there for the scholarships. Just reply to this email an let me know if that person is you.

Thanks and gig’em,
