making a difference 2009

Dear friends,

As you are aware, the past year has been a challenging one for the U.S. economy. Despite the turmoil in the markets, we at Mays have many reasons to be thankful; these reasons are listed in this report. Mays Business School continues to flourish, thanks to the generosity of benefactors such as you.

Let me share with you reasons I have never been more proud to be affiliated with this great school.

Your generosity I have been overwhelmed in the last year by a number of large commitments to Mays Business School, including two anonymous gifts totaling $12 million in support for programs and scholarships. Also, as you will see on the following page, Peggy and Lowry Mays ’57 have made an additional commitment to the school bearing their name to enhance our faculty recruiting and retention efforts.

While many universities are reducing budgets due to the economic climate and shrinking endowments, these kinds of commitments allow us to continue to grow and enhance our programs, moving confidently into the future.

Our faculty Our outstanding faculty is our greatest asset at Mays. Among the seven new faculty joining us this fall is Luis Gomez-Mejia, a professor in the Department of Management and inaugural holder of the Benton Cocanougher Chair in Business, which was graciously funded by the Mayses’ gift. Professor Gomez-Mejia’s list of accolades and achievements is indeed impressive: he has numerous influential publications, is president and founder of the Iberoamerican Academy of Management; was recognized with the title of “Doctor Honoris Causa” at Universidad Carlos III, Madrid; has taught numerous courses throughout the world; and is the editor and co-founder of Journal of Management Research. Clearly, he is an impact player. It is only because of our donors’ generosity that we were able to attract faculty of his caliber to Mays Business School.

Our students As you read the stories in this annual report, you will see the incredible quality of our students at Mays. In addition to being outstanding academically, they embody Texas A&M University’s core value of selfless service and are committed to making their communities near and far a better place. I am privileged to teach our students, and am amazed at all that I learn from them inside and outside of the classroom. Your support of scholarships and fellowships is instrumental in allowing us to attract these outstanding young people to Texas A&M University and Mays Business School. If they are the future of business, I can say with confidence that the future is bright.

Please know how much your support of Mays Business School is appreciated. Whether providing a scholarship for an incoming freshman student, a fellowship for a graduate student, an endowed professorship or chair for a faculty member, or an excellence fund to support student and faculty activities, your gifts touch thousands of lives each and every day. You truly do make a difference in all that we do.

Sincerely,

JerrY r. STrAWSerDean

“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” – Martin Luther King, Jr.

HThe reluctant broadcast tycoon

1972 serendipity benefits many at Texas A&M in 2009

He never intended to buy a radio station.

A business acquaintance said to him, “Lowry, for only

$125,000 we could buy KeeZ-FM in San Antonio. it’s

losing money now, but i’m just sure we can turn it around

and make a profit fast.”

Mays was an investment banker in San Antonio at the time.

“i don’t know anything about radio. Why would i buy

a money-pit radio station?” Lowry Mays heard the man

out before turning him

down. the acquaintance

was persistent, though,

and eventually Mays did

volunteer to co-sign on

the loan, which was to be

repaid in 90 days.

ninety days later, KeeZ-

FM was still losing money.

Mays became the owner by

default of the loan.

thirty-four years later, the

empire Mays built on the

foundation of that one

struggling station sold for

$18.7 billion.

***

born in texas just after

the Great depression,

Mays learned the value of

hard work early on in life.

Lowry spent his summers on the family farm in Frisco,

texas, picking cotton with his sister and cousins. through

high school he worked at a grocery store while dreaming of

becoming a businessman in the oil industry.

He attended texas A&M university, earning a degree in

petroleum engineering in 1957. during the summers, he

worked in oil fields as a roughneck, mostly in Louisiana.

Soon after graduation, he followed through on the

commitment he’d made while in the Corps of Cadets,

serving three years in the u.S. Air Force. A year into his

deployment, he returned to San Antonio to marry his

sweetheart, Peggy, whom he’d met on a blind date while

stationed at brooks AFb.

they finished the deployment together, spent time in

boston, where Lowry completed an MbA at Harvard, then

settled back in their hometown of San Antonio to raise

four children.

***

After acquiring that

first radio station,

Mays made an offer of

partnership to friend

and fellow businessman

red McCombs. though

neither of them had

radio experience, Mays

sensed the potential of the

partnership and of FM

radio, a technology that

had yet to blossom. they

bought another station,

and then another, and

through hard work, started

to see a profit. Soon, Mays

gave up his banking career

and focused on the radio

business.

As the company expanded

into new markets, the

name changed from San Antonio broadcasting to Clear

Channel Communications. over the years, Mays added

television stations, outdoor advertising, and live events to

the company’s portfolio, spreading to europe, Australia,

and Mexico. Along the way, Mays transformed the radio

industry and helped create national legislation for its

deregulation. in recent years, Mays’ sons took over many

of the operations of business, allowing him to be more

Anonymous donors touch the future

1997Mays Business School named in honor of a $15 million gift

• $5 million endowment created for enhancement of MBA program, including scholarships and recruitment/placement services for MBA students

• $4 million endowment created for faculty recruitment, retention, and development

• $6 million endowment created for strategic priorities as determined by the dean, including new programs, technology and equipment, and external communication

2009The Mayses commit to $7.5 million with matching funds to create a $12 million gift. Current gift will be used for faculty support, including:

• $2 million for the Peggy Pitman Mays Eminent Scholar Chair

• $1 million for the Benton Cocanougher Chair in Business

• $2 million in matching funds to create two eminent scholar chairs

• $2.5 million in matching funds to create five faculty chairs

Mays has been recently named in two estate

gifts by donors who wish to remain anonymous.

these gifts will create a $9 million endowment

for undergraduate student scholarships and an

$3 million endowment for unrestricted use.

once realized in the future, the scholarship

bequest will provide hundreds of scholarships for

undergraduate business students, while the other

bequest will be used at the discretion of the dean

to enhance the school’s academic programs.

“We are tremendously grateful for these generous

commitments, which will touch the lives of so many

students,” said dean Jerry Strawser. “it is wonderful to

see our former students continuing the ‘Aggie Miracle,’

making a world-class education available to the next

generation of business leaders. the fact that these

individuals did not seek personal recognition for their

generosity makes this act of giving even more noteworthy.”

Giving back is important to Mays, who has been involved

in numerous civic organizations, both in supervisory and

philanthropic roles. thankful for the experience he had at

texas A&M, Mays determined to touch future generations

of Aggies by giving $15 million to the texas A&M College

of business. in honor of this tremendous gift, which

continues to impact the people and programs of the

business school, A&M renamed the college Mays business

School in 1997.

that gift supported a number of initiatives in the business

school, including faculty research, scholarships, and the

MbA program. these resources provided the means to

recruit the very best faculty and students, which in turn

has an impact on the school’s quality, reputation, and

rankings. the improvements are easy to quantify, as Mays

business School programs continue to climb ever higher in

national and international rankings.

Lowry and Peggy have recently announced plans for a

new gift of $7.5 million to the school that bears their

namesake. this gift will fund nine faculty chairs, including

one eminent scholar chair in Peggy’s name, and one in

the name of benton Cocanougher, dean emeritus and

professor emeritus of Mays. Part of the gift involves

matching funds to create additional endowed positions at

Mays business School. With matching funds considered,

the impact of the gift will reach $12 million.

“Great faculty create great programs,” said Jerry Strawser,

dean of Mays. “the Mays gift in support of faculty funding

is essential to our successes, as recruiting and retaining top

faculty is a key goal of ours.”

“At a time when so many are affected by this challenging

economy, we are so fortunate to have generous benefactors

in the Mays family. their contributions enable us to move

strongly into the future,” said Strawser. “We are proud to

have one of the most influential businessmen in texas

history endorse our programs in such a meaningful way.”

IThankful Aggie

Scholarship support has changed his life

“The value of a man resides in what he gives and not in what he is capable of receiving.” – Albert Einstein

I grew up In brownsvIlle, texas, in an

economically disadvantaged area. i had double culture

shock when i came to A&M as an undergrad, as there were

few Hispanic students here then and no one else in my

family had ever graduated from college, or attended a large

university like A&M. My years at Mays business School

were challenging, but worth it.

through a career fair when i was an undergrad, i found

a great internship in store operations with Wal-Mart

that lasted two summers. i graduated with a degree in

management and was offered a job at the company’s

headquarters in bentonville, Arkansas. i have loved the

past six years working for Wal-Mart as an internal auditor

and finance manager supporting the merchandising

division.

i had a rewarding job that provided for my wife and

twin newborn baby girls, but i knew that an MbA would

help me advance within the company as i progressed in

my career. i did a cost/benefit analysis and decided that

coming back to Mays made sense. i knew i’d get a great

education at a great value. it was too good to pass up. the

scholarships Mays offered me when i was accepted into

the MbA program sealed the deal. they also helped me to

convince my wife that going back to school was feasible.

i am no stranger to hard work and long hours, but i’ve

never been challenged as much as i have while in this

MbA program. the professors really push us and the

competitive nature of my classmates drives me to improve.

i’ve learned from top business people like Warren buffet

and other successful executives. i’ve had the chance

to develop leadership skills as an officer in the MbA

Association. i was even part of the first place team in a

recent tech transfer Challenge hosted by Mays. it’s been a

tremendous experience.

i will graduate this december and take my new skills and

knowledge back to Wal-Mart. i hope to be promoted to

director of finance over a business unit soon.

Mays donors, I want to say thank you for investing in me and allowing me to pursue my goals. I commit to represent the university with great pride and will make sure to give back and reinvest in the future of others as well.

“We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.”– Winston Churchill

l.c. “chaz” neely ’62 AdMitS that he was anything

but an honor student during his years at texas A&M

university’s business school—in fact, it wasn’t until his

third attempt at college that he made it through. However,

the experience taught him more than business principles;

he also learned tenacity, a trait that would serve him well

when he started his own business in 1979.

now, 30 years later, as the founder and Ceo of the San

Antonio Steel Company, neely is giving back to the school

that was so instrumental to his success. neely and his wife,

trisha, have continued their ongoing support to Mays

business School with a recent gift of $500,000. this gift

will be matched by funds from the Center for executive

development at Mays to create a $1 million endowment

for scholarships for business Honors students.

“i am so grateful for my experience at texas A&M and the

influence it had on my life. i believe one gives back to the

organizations that have such impact, and that’s why we

chose to make this gift,” said neely.

neely worked hard to finance his education, so he

understands the plight of students that struggle to pay for

school. that’s the reason giving to scholarship support is

important to him. “i want to nurture the values taught

at this great school,” he said, values that not only prepare

students for a successful career, but a successful life.

today, San Antonio Steel Company is the largest business-

to-business steel materials distributor in the Southwest.

neely was named 1997 entrepreneur of the year by ernst

& young and in 2005 he was given Mays highest honor,

the outstanding Alumni Award. in 2006, the Association

of Former Students at A&M recognized him as a

distinguished Alumnus.

neely says all of his professional success can be traced to

the unwavering support of his parents, which enabled him

to become the first person in his family to attend college. “i

owe to my family and to A&M any modest success i have

achieved,” he says.

Business with Honor Neelys pledge $500,000 to Business Honors

the twin philosophies of bringing passion to his work

and integrity to his dealings has driven neely’s success,

he says — in addition to the support of his family and

valuable employees. in fact, the first three employees hired

by neely continue to work for the company. “We have very

low turnover,” he said. “i treat my people as family in a way.

i treat them like i want to be treated…i want them to be

happy to come to work.”

the neelys have been married for more than 40 years

and have three Aggie children and four granddaughters.

they have long been supporters of Mays, most recently

pledging $1 million in 2004 to endow a chair in business

and in 2003 giving $150,000 in matching funds for a

graduate fellowship. they are also generous to the 12th

Man Foundation, Association of Former Students, Corps

of Cadets, and the texas A&M Foundation. neely is a

member of the dean’s development Council at Mays.

BSpotlight: Business Honors

Major offers challenges, rewards to top students

“I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.” – Maya Angelou

busIness honors Is a Major for talented and

motivated students who want more from their Mays

education. in 2009 the business Honors program, which

has been active at Mays for 22 years, expanded to become

a major. requirements of the program include 30 hours

of honors classes, an internship, and participation in

frequent professional development and service activities.

Admission into business honors is selective and by

application only. each year, roughly 85 freshmen are

admitted. those that make it into the program are

outstanding students with a variety of leadership and

service experiences that make them stand out among

their peers.

there are several differences in an honors class from a

non-honors class, the most noticeable difference being

the size. Honors classes are kept small to encourage in-

depth discussion. though both honors and non-honors

sections of a course have essentially the same content,

honors students complete case studies and group

projects, and apply theories to the latest events in the

business world.

• Smaller class size, specially selected students and experienced faculty

• Professional development and service activities

• Discussion-driven lectures with case studies create curriculum

• Great for entrepreneurs, pre-law, and pre-med students, or as a second major

The International Aggie Getting by with a little help from her friends

I knew I would MIss out on elephant Walk,

ring day, and graduation with my friends when i chose

to spend my last year as an Aggie in Scotland. it was a

tough decision, giving up my senior year at texas A&M

university to study abroad, but it’s been so worth it. i’ve

grown and changed, and seen such a huge shift in myself

in my years at A&M. the changes have been even more

noticeable in the past year as i’ve attended the university

of edinburgh as a reciprocal exchange student.

there were only 90 people in my high school graduating

class, so when i came to A&M, it was a big adjustment.

there were so many people! i got involved with a student

political club and an organization focused on business

ethics. it started me thinking about how human rights and

business interact. My junior year, i formed an Amnesty

international chapter at A&M and now i’m a part of the

Amnesty international chapter here.

Living in edinburgh has been eye opening. Here, the world

news is the local news. i understand now what it means to

say that we’re all part of an international community. that

concept has changed the way i see myself and the way i

see the world. i’m not merely a small town girl from texas

anymore. i am an individual in this huge, complex global

landscape, and i have a responsibility to make a difference.

this fall i’ll be starting the university of Glasgow’s

program on international policy and human rights. i

feel very strongly about how we, as an international

community, can protect and promote human rights in

developing countries, and i’m especially interested in

that in a business context. i hope to eventually work for a

business that is focused on global responsibility and ethics.

And in case you’re wondering, even though i’m more than

a thousand miles from home, i still say “Howdy.”

I wouldn’t have been able to have any of these life-changing experiences if not for the scholarships available through Mays and Texas A&M. I’m incredibly thankful for the generosity of Mays donors. What they do is so much more than help students go to college—they help students broaden their view of the world and then take what they’ve learned and apply it in meaningful ways. Business Honors student Erika Schmidt ’09

graduated in May with a degree in management, a minor in history and an international

business certificate.

TEnergy and generosity Kathie and Scott Amann ’78

names Mays in estate

the future Is uncertaIn, but one thing Kathie and

Scott Amann ’78 know is that they want their support of

Mays business School at texas A&M university to continue

in perpetuity. that’s why they’ve recently included Mays in

their estate with a gift of $500,000 for scholarships. they

have also designated that the majority of the remainder

of their estate be provided to Mays for the same purpose.

When realized, this gift is expected to exceed $4 million

dollars.

the Amanns have made giving back to texas A&M a

priority not only for their future but also in the present.

they are members of the 12th Man Foundation and the

Association of Former Students, and have previously

provided a President’s endowed Scholarship and a dean’s

endowed Scholarship for Mays students.

“My wife and i have been very blessed over the years

financially,” Amann said. “We wanted to do something

with our funds that could help young people, help our

school, and help programs that are near and dear to our

hearts.” Amann says that though Kathie is an alumna of

the university of oklahoma, she considers A&M to be her

school as well as she spent four years commuting from

Houston one day a week to serve as a volunteer at the

George bush Library on campus.

“Somewhere down the road we hope to leave a meaningful

amount that can be used to help the kind of student that

embraces the characteristics and traits that we love about

this university,” he said.

Amann has been involved in the energy industry

throughout his career. He has served in a number of

leadership roles for energy firms in texas and is currently

the vice president for investor relations at a Houston-based

oilfield service company. His professional affiliations have

included the national investor relations institute, the

interstate natural Gas Association and the American Gas

Association.

“No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave.” – Calvin Coolidge

Kathie also spent many years in the energy industry,

primarily as an executive secretary. Her time is now

devoted to volunteering at the Houston Zoo and training

the couple’s border collies for agility and obedience

competitions. both Amanns enjoy golf and spending time

at their vacation home in Park City, utah, where they plan

to retire one day. the couple resides in Cypress, texas.

in addition to their bequest to Mays, a portion of the

Amanns’ estate will go to the College of veterinary

Medicine at texas A&M university to provide scholarships

for that program as well.

“What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.” – Albert Pike

Webers give for the “other” education Cindy ’84 and Tony Weber ’84 establish

excellence fund

of all the thIngs that tony Weber ’84 remem-

bers about his undergraduate experience, he says that

it was the out-of-the-classroom activities that had the

most impact on him. that’s why he and his wife, Cindy

(Green) Weber ’84, have recently pledged $200,000 to

Mays business School to establish the Cindy ’84 and tony

Weber ’84 excellence Fund supporting special programs

and executive speakers in Mays’ undergraduate programs.

“We are so thankful for the Weber’s gift,” said dean

Strawser. “i am always encouraged when i see young

alumni giving back and making a positive impact on texas

A&M university. the funds the Webers have provided

will truly make a difference in our ability to provide our

students with fantastic opportunities both in and outside

of the classroom.”

“We wanted to reach as many students as possible through

our gift,” said Cindy. As a former college professor (she

taught at texas Christian university for eight years), Cindy

believes that giving students the opportunity to interact

with successful people in their field is invaluable. “Getting

other business people’s opinions broadens their perspec-

tives. it enhances their education. it opens up doors for

them,” she said.

Her husband agreed. “i had the benefit of being in the

Fellows program,” said tony, who credited his participation

in that program, as well as the internships it led to, with

his business success after graduating. “We are focused on

giving students exposure to successful people…that is what

i enjoyed and what really helped me.”

Previously, the Webers funded a Presidential endowed

Scholarship at Mays.

tony is a partner and owner of natural Gas Partners, a

$9.5 billion private equity fund that manages oil and gas

ventures. Cindy, who holds an undergraduate degree in

scientific nutrition from A&M, as well as a Phd from texas

Women’s university, teaches continuing education courses

for healthcare providers. together, they enjoy cycling, trav-

eling, and teaching youth bible classes at their church.

tony is on the board of several energy companies, the

independent Producers Association of America, and is

also active with the dallas Athletic Club and the dallas

Petroleum Club. Cindy is studying for her private pilot’s

license and is on the board of the Park Cities republican

Women, Council for Life, and the local rotary club.

the Webers have one daughter, Alexandra, who is a sopho-

more at Mays. Her involvement with the business Honors

program stimulated the Webers’ interest in giving to the

school, says Cindy. “We thought it would be great to en-

hance the program while she’s there…being able to make

the school better for her is an added benefit.”

many students as possible

through our gift.”cindy WeBer ’84

PricewaterhouseCoopers honors longtime

partner with tribute gift

contInuIng a tradItIon of support for Mays

business School, PricewaterhouseCoopers has recently

announced a new gift of $150,000 for scholarships in the

accounting department at Mays. the gift is given in honor

of longtime PwC partner billy M. Atkinson, Jr. ’72.

this gift is one of six recent contributions made by PwC,

as they have joined several of their Aggie partners to

create accounting scholarships. the total impact of these

gifts (including matches) will create a new endowment

of $275,000. Partners and their spouses that have recently

made gifts to this fund are Lisa and ray Garcia ’90; Susan

(ernst) ’86 and John Mcnamara ’86; donnelle and billy M.

Atkinson, Jr. ’72; Kevin and Susan roach; and Merita ’86

and Stephen Parker ’88.

“We are very pleased with PricewaterhouseCoopers’

commitment to accounting education at Mays,” said

dean Strawser. “it’s meaningful when a firm with their

reputation for excellence makes an investment in our

students. it’s even more meaningful, since their gift honors

billy Atkinson, a leader in the accounting profession and a

wonderful role model for our current students.”

Atkinson, who has been with PwC for 37 years, says he was

honored and humbled by this gift in his name. He spent

many years as the firm’s lead recruiter at A&M, a position

now held by fellow PwC partner Stephen Parker. “billy is

one of the key people that hired me. He has made a lasting

impression on Aggies that have graduated in the past 20

plus years,” said Parker. “He’s one of the finest people

i’ve ever met. He’s been an incredible mentor to me and

to so many others...He deserves to be recognized. this is

one way we can perpetuate his dedication to providing

opportunities to Aggies.”

Atkinson has been very active at A&M, serving on

the accounting advisory council since 1982, the A&M

president’s advisory council since 1997, and Mays’ Fellows

advisory board at its inception in the 1980s. He has also

been a leader in his profession, as he was appointed

or elected to leadership of local, state, and national

accountancy boards and organizations. Atkinson plans to

retire in two years after nearly four decades with PwC.

Parker, also a partner at PwC’s Houston office, says that

his firm is fortunate to have such a strong relationship

with Mays, as they recruit heavily there. “it’s a great school

for us to invest our resources in because we can count on

getting great candidates to join our team from Mays,” he

said. “Mays has outstanding graduates that are equipped

with the right tools to be successful in a firm like ours.”

“It’s a great school for us to invest our resources in because we can

count on getting great candidates to join our team from Mays.”stephen parker ’88
