Spirit & Excellence
Here, we like to say our pride runs deep.
It’s a pride built upon a legacy of being Lions for more than a century. We express our pride by flashing the Lucky Lion hand sign. We display it to celebrate victory and to honor our great heritage.
Student Clubs and Organizations
Life at East Texas A&M isn’t just about what you do in the classroom. With more than 150 student clubs and organizations, life outside the classroom is every bit as engaging.
We have a number of ways to get involved in community service, multicultural programming, student leadership and Greek life. If we don’t have what you are looking for when you get here, we’ll help you start a new group.
Live and Learn On Campus
