Mission Statement

The mission of the Faculty Senate is to:

•  foster a community of mutual respect and cooperation within the university;
•  to facilitate effective faculty participation in academic governance;
•  to broaden communication in matters of concern to the university; and
•  to engage the faculty's skills in the guidance of the university's programs

How the Faculty Senate came to be:

The Faculty Senate was founded in 1983 by Dr. John J. McDermott, Professor of Philosophy and Humanities, and is the voice of the Faculty at Texas A&M University. It is the only body representing the interests of the entire faculty of TAMU, including the Health Sciences Center, the School of Law, and the Galveston and Qatar campuses.
