What is Party Smart? Party Smart is our initiative to educate students about the best practices to keep themselves and others around them safe when hosting or attending a party.

The Career Center, in cooperation with GRAD Aggies, presents A Smarter Job Search: Using Job and Networking Resources. Learn how to utilize job search and company research resources on HireAggies.com and networking to tailor job applications and capture the interest of hiring managers. Supercharge your job search and optimize the Career Center's resources for you. Find jobs you didn't know existed, learn effective Boolean searching, and identify jobs that leverage your advanced degree education. All of that and more in this exciting presentation! Attending this event and completing the reflection is worth 1 PDU towards a GRAD Aggies Professional Development Certificate for graduate & professional students.

What is the Good Neighbor Network? This exciting collaboration between Student Life and local property managers is designed to create a supportive off-campus living experience for students. By committing to high standards in resident safety, property maintenance, fair leasing practices, and open communication with the university, we're ensuring that students can thrive in their home away from home.

The ceremony begins on the day of Silver Taps when the flag in front of the Academic Building is placed at half-staff. Notices are posted at the Memorial Student Center, Evans Library, and at the base of the flagpole in front of the Academic Building. At 10:15 p.m., chimes from the Albritton Bell Tower begin to play. The ceremony begins at 10:30 p.m. as the Ross Volunteers Firing Squad marches in slow cadence to the statue of Lawrence Sullivan Ross. Three volleys are fired. "Silver Taps" is played by six buglers three times – to the North, West, and South. This concludes the ceremony, but not the feelings of respect and honor. With respect, the ceremony of Silver Taps is dedicated to the deceased Aggie and is a solemn and serious event. Some important observances must be remembered:The area in front of the Sul Ross statue and the Academic Building is reserved for the friends and family of the deceased. Aggies do not stand or sit on the benches lining the walkway between the flagpole and the Sul Ross Statue. The darkness and quiet, which cover the campus, emphasize the mood for Silver Taps. Aggies help to retain this tranquility by covering windows, keeping noise to a minimum, and walking to and from the ceremony without talking. The name of the deceased Aggie is posted on the flagpole base during the day of Silver Taps.

The event starts at 11AM in the Student Life Center Lounge on March 12, 2025. Mess Waffles will cater food. There will be regular and vegan options for food plus drinks.
