Faculty/Staff Institute 2026

Faculty/Staff Institute
First-Day Readiness: Aligning People,
Purpose and Performance for Student Success

Aug. 14
Harrison Auditorium
9 a.m.

As we prepare to begin a new academic year, we are excited to welcome our faculty and staff back to campus and to the important work that lies ahead. Join us for our annual Faculty/Staff Institute (FSI) on Friday, Aug. 14, 2026, at 9 a.m. in Harrison Auditorium. This is an opportunity to reconnect, refocus and reaffirm our shared commitment to student success and institutional excellence.

This year’s theme, “First-Day Readiness: Aligning People, Purpose, and Performance for Student Success,” reflects our collective responsibility to ensure that every student is supported from their first day through graduation.

During the program, we will welcome new members of the Aggie community, celebrate our shared accomplishments, and hear updates on the university’s priorities for the year ahead.

As is customary, the afternoon will be devoted to college and department-level meetings and other preparations for the semester. These sessions will be coordinated by the respective college deans and unit leaders, who will share additional details with their teams.

Thank you for your unwavering dedication to our students, your commitment to excellence, and your contributions to the Aggie Experience. Together, we have built remarkable momentum, and we look forward to continuing that progress as we advance our mission and create transformative opportunities for those we serve.
