On Friday, April 21, 2017, thousands of Aggies descended on the Texas A&M University campus to participate in the annual Muster ceremony. The time-honored tradition serves as a celebration of the past, present and future Aggie family. One of the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering’s very own was honored at this year’s Muster. In August 2016, Texas A&M lost a true visionary of the field when Dr. Christodoulos "Chris" A. Floudas passed away while on vacation in Greece with his family.
