MSC J. Wayne Stark Northeast Tour

Former MSC Director J. Wayne Stark ’39 loved Texas A&M, and he wanted to challenge students to expand their horizons by sending them beyond their comfort zones to experience the world. He prized culture, diversity and art, and encouraged students to stretch beyond Texas borders. In 1970, Stark created the Northeast Tour, providing students the opportunity to visit top schools in the nation, tour premier American cities, and expand their personal Aggie network.

Over the years, the MSC Stark Northeast Tour has provided students the opportunity to visit US cities that are known as centers of trade, industry, finance, and law - including Chicago, New York, Boston, and Philadelphia - as well as tour top universities in those cities. This year, approximately 25 high-caliber students will explore public service in Washington, D.C., history in Philadelphia, arts in New York City, and culture in Boston. Each city visit also includes networking opportunities with former students in the area. After 50+ years, the Stark Northeast Tour has impacted the lives of more than 1000 student delegates and countless other individuals along the way, all while paving a path for expanded experiences in the present.
