"T-Campers should feel the same Aggie kinship and sense of belonging as all other Aggies who have the privilege to go through Fish Camp. There is a culture of family and honor that all Aggies embrace and take with them and transfer students should not be the exception. It is truly great to be recognized by students who frequently interact with you and know your character. Every organization needs leaders and
mentors, and I want to be involved in whatever way T-Camp needs me."
