Ten years ago today the Bonfire stack at Texas A&M collapsed, killing 12 students and injuring 27 others. This tragedy continues to impact the university in a remarkable way even today. I will never forget being glued to the television watching the updates from campus during the first two days after the collapse. The unity and solidarity displayed by the Aggie family was one of the defining moments that led me to attend Texas A&M. While I was at A&M, I had the privilege of serving as the student representative on the Bonfire Memorial Advisory Council. The picture below is of the memorial that is dedicated to those who lost their lives. Today, we remember.
