After a national search that attracted many outstanding candidates, I’m happy to share that Lieutenant General James W. Bierman Jr. has agreed to serve as the 47th Commandant of the Corps of Cadets. He will join Texas A&M University on Aug. 1, upon his retirement from active duty from the U.S. Marine Corps.

Lt. Gen. Bierman is an exemplary combat-proven leader and a decorated Marine Infantry Officer. His commitment to service and leadership aligns perfectly with the mission and Core Values of Texas A&M and the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets. I’m confident he’s the right person to lead our “Keepers of the Spirit” as we head into the next 150 years of this great university.

Please join me in welcoming Lt. Gen. Bierman to Aggieland!
