The Sesquicentennial Speaker Series celebrates Texas A&M University’s 150th anniversary by featuring current and former students whose stories reflect the university’s impact across Texas, the nation and beyond.
As part of the series, Texas A&M will host “Aggie Excellence & Athletic Achievement” on Nov. 18 in Rudder Theatre.
The event will feature a special conversation with Texas A&M legends Bryce Deadmon ’19, Breeja Larson ’14 and Shamier Little ’17, moderated by Distinguished Alumnus and Hall of Fame sports journalist Charean Williams ’86. Together, they will explore the drive, perseverance and resilience required to succeed on the world’s biggest stage.
Deadmon, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and one of the world’s premier 400-meter runners; Larson, an Olympic gold medalist and one of the most decorated swimmers in Texas A&M history; and Little, a two-time Olympic medalist — gold and silver — and 11-time All-American in the 400-meter hurdles, have represented both Texas A&M and Team USA at the highest levels of international competition.
Guests will hear firsthand stories from Olympic competition, lessons learned through victory and adversity, and reflections on how the Olympians’ experiences at Texas A&M helped shape their paths to athletic excellence. From the track to the pool, Deadmon, Larson and Little will share insights into the preparation, perseverance and mindset required to compete among the world’s best athletes.
