At the heart of our mission is a deep commitment to honoring and paying homage to the pioneers who paved the way for future generations. The Leroy Sterling Pioneer Reception is a tribute to their resilience, sacrifice, and enduring impact, bringing together our esteemed pioneers, special guests, Texas A&M officials, and key community and business leaders.

During this special evening, honorees and pioneers are presented with a prestigious medal to commemorate their award, recognizing their invaluable contributions and lasting legacy.
