Rita and Mark Puckett ’73 have established an Endowed Scholarship for Global Studies. Funds will be used to provide scholarships to full-time undergraduate students participating in a global program experience in the College of Engineering at Texas A&M University.
The Pucketts had this to say:
“We have been blessed to live and work in many countries around the world. Our experiences enriched our lives, and our Families’ lives, and we want to help enable that among Aggie engineering students”.
“We greatly appreciate what Dean Kathy Banks is doing at Texas A&M, including her emphasis on the X-factor - high-impact experiences as an integral part of a student’s education. It will be exciting to see their accomplishments and contributions to the world.”
After graduating from Texas A&M with a bachelor's degree in civil engineering, Mark began a 35-year at Chevron, retiring in 2008. He has served as a director of Concho Resources since 2009. He is a recipient of the Outstanding Alumni Award and has served on the Texas A&M University College of Engineering Advisory Council since 2002.How to give
