For the second year in a row, @FastCompany has recognized Texas A&M University with the Innovation By Design Award.

Texas A&M's commitment to public service ensures that research breakthroughs strengthen the health of communities across Texas, the nation and beyond.

Led by Dr. Mark Benden and supported through Texas A&M's Dementia and Alzheimer's Research Initiative (DARI), the digital human is an empathetically designed virtual agent that uses artificial intelligence to help detect early signs of dementia through conversational screening, speech cues, facial expression analysis and biometric monitoring — helping bridge critical gaps in access to care for rural and underserved communities. The innovation earned Texas A&M national recognition as a 2026 Fast Company Innovation by Design winner.

25 years later, we remember.

We honor those we lost, those who served, and the families and communities whose lives were forever changed.

May we continue to remember through compassion, service and a commitment to one another.

September 11, 2001. We remember.

At Texas A&M University, we serve with purpose, lead with character and take action for the good of our communities.

This is what it means to be an Aggie: to believe that what we can do together is far greater than what any one of us can do alone. For 150 years, Aggies have embodied that belief for Texas and for America.

Together, we stand. Together, we serve. Together, we are a force for good.

Our researchers have developed a faster way to identify hazardous airborne pollutants & assess their effects on human health following the '23 Shepherd,TX chemical plant fire.

The findings could improve disaster response & public health preparedness.
