Chair

Aggie Transition Camps Mission Statement

Aggie Transition Camps exists to successfully transition new students into the Aggie Family.

Aggie Transition Camps Values

Servant Leadership, Knowledge, Integrity, Inclusivity

Aggie Transition Camps (ATC) is a sponsored student organization that is responsible for successfully transitioning new Aggies to Texas A&M University through two programs: Howdy Camp that takes place every January, and T-Camp that takes place every August.

Aggie Transition Camps will be operated with 6-10 Chairs who will be placed in partnerships to lead an Individual Camp or Team for their assigned session. The job of a Chairperson is to plan, coordinate, and oversee all Individual-Camp (IC)/Team activities leading up to and during camp. Chairpersons will recruit, select, and train a group of Counselors/Teamers that will execute camp programs. Along with training, Chairs will also work with the Director Staff with assisting All-Camp meetings/times, carry down information regarding ATC Policies and Procedures, as well as uphold Texas A&M University Student Rules and Regulations within their camps.

For many incoming students, an Aggie Transition Camps’ program will be their first impression of the Aggie Family. The job of those involved in ATC is to welcome incoming students to Texas A&M and aid in their transition. Co-Chairs will make the camper's Aggie Transition Camps experience successful and positive through thoughtful leadership, dedication, commitment, and teamwork. This commitment will be filled with successes and challenges, and it will provide many opportunities for learning and growth as a person and a leader.

As we navigate a new year with Aggie Transition Camps, the ideal candidates for our Chair positions are those who are confident in executing new ideas and directives carried down from the Executive Director and Assistant Directors, welcome and navigate change gracefully, and can assist in commanding a team of leaders who will be charged with a new sense of responsibility as they all enter middle leadership roles within the organization.

We look forward to your submissions as a candidate for Aggie Transition Camps Chair!

All applications must be submitted no later than Monday, February 10th at 11:59 PM.
