Campus Muster
Each year on April 21st, Texas A&M University pauses to honor the lives of Aggies who have passed away in the past year. Campus Muster stands as one of the most deeply rooted and meaningful traditions in Aggieland, a solemn yet uplifting ceremony where family, friends, and fellow Aggies gather to celebrate the spirit of camaraderie and remembrance. Organized and led by a dedicated student committee, Campus Muster brings thousands together in Reed Arena to reflect, remember, and answer “Here” for those no longer with us. From the Roll Call for the Absent to the Keynote Address and candle-lighting ceremony, every element of Muster is carefully designed to honor the legacy of Aggies past and reaffirm the enduring bond of the Aggie family. This website serves as your hub for everything related to Campus Muster, from understanding its history and structure, to learning how you can attend, participate, or support this powerful tradition.

Roll Call Requirements
If your loved one meets at least one of these requirements, fill out the form.
Students currently enrolled at Texas A&M
A current student is defined as an individual who is enrolled at Texas A&M at the time of their passing. Current students are honored here because their peers, classmates, and community will be present on campus on the Day of Muster.
Former Students serving as active duty in the military in the last year
Service men and women honorably give up their ties to their hometown when they decide to serve our country in its armed services. Therefore, in reverence of our rich military history, their Aggie community lies with Texas A&M serving as their hometown.
Current Texas A&M Faculty and Staff that passed away in the present year or retired/relocated within the past four years
Faculty and staff have direct interactions with current students; therefore, are vital to the campus community. We proudly honor those with direct involvement with the campus experience knowing they generate the overall makeup of the current campus community. The Campus Muster Ceremony will also honor Texas A&M Professors granted Emeritus status.
Former Students who have an immediate family member that are currently enrolled at Texas A&M at the time of their passing
- To ensure that students do not have to leave their campus community to attend a Muster Ceremony, we honor immediate family members of a student currently enrolled at the Texas A&M University College Station Campus Muster.
- An immediate family member is defined as a parent, grandparent, sibling, or spouse.
Members of the Class of 1976 who have passed away in the last year
One of the capstones of a former student’s continued engagement with their class and Texas A&M is their reunion 50 years after graduating. This encourages classmates to reunite with their former campus community in College Station and engage with Aggieland’s current campus community. The 50th Year Reunion Class celebration is held at Texas A&M College Station Campus on April 21st, thus we host their Aggie Muster in tandem with our campus Muster.
Other ways to honor your loved one
We understand how meaningful it can be for families to have their loved ones honored in Aggieland. While the Campus Muster ceremony has specific criteria that must be met for inclusion, we are committed to helping every family find a fitting way to remember their Aggie.
