The Big Event
Through service-oriented activities, The Big Event promotes campus and community unity as students come together for one day to express their gratitude for the support from the surrounding community.
What is Big Event?
Since its introduction in 1982, The Big Event has become the largest one-day, student-run service project in the nation. Each spring, tens of thousands of Texas A&M students come together to say “Thank You” to the residents of Bryan and College Station. For the past 42 years, Aggie students have participated in this annual event to show their appreciation to the surrounding community, completing service projects such as yard work, window washing, and painting for residents of the community. Although The Big Event has become the largest one-day, student-run service project in the nation, our message and our mission remains the same – to simply say “Thank You.”
Student Government Association
The Big Event is one of thirteen Executive Committees within the Texas A&M University Student Government Association. These committees act to enhance the student body in the areas of leadership, service, quality of student life and traditions. Collectively, they aim to “perform services that are of direct immediate benefit to the student body and to the community of Texas A&M University.”
