Message From the Dean of Mays Business School
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 . STrAWSer Dean

HHe 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, KeeZFM 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.
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.
***
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,
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

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.”

Mays 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
2009
The 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
“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.”
Anonymous donors touch the future
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.”
Mayses’ iMpact on Mays Business school
Thankful Aggie
Scholarship support has changed his life
II 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.

Business with Honor
Neelys pledge $500,000 to Business Honors
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 businessto-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.
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.
“I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.”
Spotlight: Business Honors
Major offers challenges, rewards to top students
BbusIness 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 indepth 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
For more information about the program visit mays.tamu.edu.
“I like honors classes because of the small class size and the consistent and high quality of the students… The student characteristics and class size allow me to teach at a higher level and to have more student participation.”

IThe 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.”
Business Honors student Erika Schmidt ’09 graduated in May with a degree in management, a minor in history and an international business certificate.
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.

TKathie 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.
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.
“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.”

Webers give for the “other” education
Cindy ’84 and Tony Weber ’84 establish excellence fund
Oof all the thIngs that tony Weber ’84 remembers 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 perspectives. 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, traveling, and teaching youth bible classes at their church.
“We want to reach as many students as possible through our gift.”

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 sophomore 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 enhance the program while she’s there…being able to make the school better for her is an added benefit.”
PricewaterhouseCoopers honors longtime partner with tribute gift
CcontInuIng 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.”
