HAGLER FELLOWS
The Impact
One hallmark of a great university is to offer opportunities for its students to work with the world’s finest academic minds and for its faculty to conduct transformational research to benefit humankind.
Hagler Fellows collaborate with Texas A&M’s own stellar faculty–researchers and rising stars among the University’s junior faculty and graduate students. Through those collaborations, participants have a chance to fundamentally enhance their career options. During their time on campus, fellows engage in intense research. They set goals with faculty members, interact with students, and present lectures in their host colleges. In addition, one fellow is chosen each semester to present the Eminent Scholar Lecture. That annual influx of talent enriches our intellectual atmosphere, enhances the quality of our programs, accelerates solutions to difficult research problems, and heightens Texas A&M’s reputation as a top-tier research university.
Although the Institute is not designed to recruit permanent faculty, the time in residence gives Hagler Fellows a valuable look at the opportunities and research facilities of this great institution.
