Director
The MSC Abbott Family Leadership Conference has been a program within the Memorial Student Center at Texas A&M University since 1995. Sophomore and Junior Aggies are challenged to examine their personal values system. Specifically, they are asked to truly evaluate the manner in which they apply those values in their personal lives and in their capacities as leaders at Texas A&M, as well as their future businesses, communities, and families. The conference is centered on four main pillars, which are: values, ethics, service, and the importance of family.
The 2025 MSC Abbott committee will be made up of visionary, energetic, and hard-working leaders, who are willing to dedicate a substantial amount of effort and enthusiasm to MSC Abbott. As a team, we will each accept the challenge and responsibility of maintaining MSC ALFC’s high standards of excellence, as we have the privilege of impacting the delegates and our campus with the unique ideals that our committee represents.
