Logistics

The "Find an Aggie" directory is part of the larger AggieNetwork.com platform, which is managed and controlled by the Association of Former Students at Texas A&M University. This directory includes over 625,000 profiles and, thus, possible connections to make. The degree of detail for each profile can vary depending on how much information the user decides to input. The system's information, while managed by the Association of Former Students, is ultimately reliant upon the users, who fill in the information about themselves. Because of this, a current or former student can find other Aggies through means ranging from name, major, current occupation, position, city, and student activity, among others. Every profile within the system is different to some degree since much autonomy is given to the end user regarding how they would like to structure their page.

How Students Can Utilize this Software

Through the platform's ability to connect students to alumni, endless possibilities arise. If a student wishes to learn more about a specific industry, they can search for former Aggies based on this filter and find Aggies working in these sectors. This allows students to learn about these individuals' experiences, gain new insights about the field, get career advice, and receive possible internships pertaining to their interests.
