About the Corps of Cadets Hall of Honor

The Corps of Cadets Hall of Honor recognizes former cadets who contribute to A&M in a manner that is above and beyond the call and who possess the values upon which the Corps was founded. The Gala is an evening to pay tribute to those cadets who exemplify the Texas Aggie Spirit. The CCA hosts this annual black-tie event attended by inductees, their families, distinguished visitors, CCA members and other supporters.

Nomination Information

For more than a century, the Corps of Cadets at Texas A&M University has produced members who have held positions of importance in almost every field of endeavor.  Whether in war or peace, former cadets have led the way.  The Corps of Cadets established the Hall of Honor Award in 1993 to pay tribute to those former cadets who have lived a life that exemplifies the Texas Aggie Spirit.  Those chosen also possess the values upon which the Corps was founded:  honor, loyalty, service, pride, patriotism, faith, leadership and honesty.
