Tamu Big Event: The Ultimate Celebration Of Culture And Tradition
Every year, the Texas A&M University hosts the Tamu Big Event, a grand celebration of culture and tradition that brings together students, faculty, staff, and the community. As a student at Texas A&M University, I had the opportunity to experience this incredible event first-hand and it was truly an unforgettable experience.
What is Tamu Big Event?
The Tamu Big Event is an annual student-led day of service that aims to give back to the community by performing various projects such as yard work, painting, and cleaning. It was started in 1982 by Joseph F. Powell, a former student at Texas A&M University, who wanted to show appreciation to the community that supported the university. Since then, it has grown into the largest one-day, student-run service project in the nation.
The Celebration
The Tamu Big Event is not just about service, it is also a celebration of the university’s culture and traditions. The day starts with a parade that features the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets, the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band, and various other student organizations.
After the parade, there are various events and competitions that take place throughout the day. These include:
