MSC Conway-Fitzhugh International Honors Leadership Seminar
This program includes a two-week cultural immersion in Italy over the winter break and prepares high-achieving, first-semester freshmen to not only maximize their educational and leadership opportunities while at Texas A&M University but also serves as an introduction to how international experiences impact leadership.
The MSC Conway-Fitzhugh International Honors Leadership Seminar was established in 1992 by Thomas Fitzhugh III ’71 in honor of his father, Champe Fitzhugh, Jr. Tom was a National Merit Scholar, served as MSC Council President, and had a passion for international travel and history. His academic success and interests helped him achieve professional and personal success, and his experiences in the MSC Council and at Texas A&M instilled in him a desire to offer other students opportunities for their own personal and academic growth. In 2019, Dr. Patrick Conway, who attended the first trip in 1992, decided to further support the program that impacted him so much as a college student and beyond. He was also involved in the MSC Council as a student leader.
The cost of the 2026 program is $3,500. Travel dates for this year's program are December 11, 2026 through December 23, 2026. More information can be found at Conway-Fitzhugh International Honors Leadership Seminar – MSC Programs.
