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 Sexual Health session equips students with the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions about their sexual health. Presenters will cover boundaries, consent, sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention and contraception, while encouraging open conversation and promoting safe, respectful relationships.

Space is limited! Students are responsible for their own transportation and should plan to arrive 15 minutes early. The tour starts at the front entrance by the produce section. The tour is free to attend. However, if you register and fail to attend without notifying uhsprevpop@tamu.edu (mailto:uhsprevpop@tamu.edu) at least 24 hours in advance, a $25 no-show fee will be charged to your student account.
