Texas A&M at Work
On Nov. 4, 2024, Texas A&M at Work — a biweekly communication for faculty and staff at Texas A&M University — was launched to provide timely and relevant updates for employees. Going forward, this new communication will include information from Human Resources, Living Well and other administrative, operational and academic units across the university. Details you may have relied on learning through the monthly distribution of Employee Updates from HROE will now be shared via Texas A&M at Work and other communications channels.
