Winston Churchill has just been awarded honorary U.S. citizenship by President John F. Kennedy. In recognition of this unprecedented occasion, The American-Oxford Society has asked the former Prime Minister to address them and discuss what this honor means to him. In this often funny, sometimes touching, and always engaging one-man show, veteran British actor David Payne brings Churchill to life onstage. Audiences will be delighted to hear of his exploits during the Boer War, his constant battles with Britain's fellow politicians, and his special relationship with America and America's presidents. But most telling of all, Churchill enlightens the audience with intimate and touching details of the two special women in his life—his wife Clementine and Queen Elizabeth.

Exhibition on Display: Sept. 9–Dec. 14, 2025 Tues.–Fri. 9 a.m.–8 p.m.; Sat.–Sun. Noon–6 p.m. Since 1989 when the Runyon family donated a fantastic collection of 19th and 20th century art and decorative art, the Forsyth Galleries has set about amassing a fantastic collection that we enjoy sharing with the community. Those who love and appreciate the collection have, in turn, donated or loaned a significant number of items including paperweights, Asian art, early American pewter, American Brilliant Cut Crystal, 19th century quilts, small furniture items, as well as additional paintings, works on paper and art glass. This exhibition celebrates their generosity and, we hope, will inspire others to share their treasures with the University. THANK YOU! To inquire about donating works of late 19th and early 20th art or to make a contribution to the Forsyth Galleries, contact Assistant Director and Curator Elizabeth Appleby at eappleby@tamu.edu (mailto:eappleby@tamu.edu).

Exhibition on Display: Oct.21–Dec. 13, 2025Gallery HoursTues.–Fri. 9 a.m.–8 p.m.; Sat.–Sun. Noon–6 p.m; Closed Mon. Central to McCraw's work is an integration of personal history and collective identity. Influenced by her childhood experiences in a Chicago tenement and by the creativity and perseverance of her mother, McCraw approaches quilt making as both an act of remembrance and a process of contemporary artistic inquiry. Her vivid use of color, dynamic compositions, and willingness to depart from traditional patterning signal a dialogue between inherited forms and modern expressive strategies. At once deeply personal and broadly resonant, her quilts function as objects of visual culture that bridge the realms of craft, fine art, and community service—underscoring the continued relevance of quilting as a medium of storytelling and cultural expression.

Noon–6 p.m. barnes' work takes on subjects of spirituality, oral histories, power, and bell hooks philosophies testing the object/subject divide.

Sponsored by the Program on Women, Peace, and Security and the George H.W. Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M University, the symposium is a chance to highlight the importance of women's perspectives and skill sets in national security. To secure our nations, what women know, what women see, and what women do must be part of the analysis and the operation of national security. President Donald J. Trump in his first term signed into law the Women, Peace, and Security Act of 2017, which was co-sponsored by then-Senator Marco Rubio and then-Representative Kristi Noem. The act codified into law the principles of UN Security Council Resolution 1325, which affirmed that women should be included in matters of war and peace and national security, including having a seat at peace negotiations, and being integral to post-conflict reconstruction planning. This year, we celebrate the 25th anniversary of UNSCR 1325's passage in the autumn of 2000. As Permanent Representative of Bangladesh to the United Nations at the turn of the century, Ambassador Chowdhury was president of the Security Council and shepherded UNSCR 1325 to a successful vote during that time. For his efforts in promoting peace, Ambassador Chowdhury has been honored with many awards, including the U Thant Peace Award and the UNESCO Gandhi Gold Medal for Culture of Peace. We are delighted that Ambassador Chowdhury will be our opening keynote speaker at the symposium.

The A&M Department of Geography will be hosting its annual GIS Day this year in the Memorial Student Center.  Every year we are granted the opportunity to host speakers from varying disciplines and industries to share their knowledge, experience, love, and passion for GIS. Join us this year and hear what they have to say.​ You can also enjoy hands-on interactive sessions and demonstrations granting technical experience in GIS real-world applications; from resume writing and help, to coding sessions from professionals. And you can network with like-minded people and industry professionals.

Hosted at the Bonfire Memorial, which respectfully commemorates the tradition, history and spirit of Bonfire, we come together to honor the memory of each student. The Bonfire Memorial embodies many layers of meaning associated with the Aggie Spirit — a deep sense of belonging, a strong spirit of teamwork and leadership and an enduring sense of tradition that unites thousands.
