What is Whoopin' Weekend?

The Whoopin' Weekend Conference is a three day program in the spring semester where high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors get a first hand look of what Texas A&M University is all about. Participants get the opportunity to take part in discussion groups with members of the Aggie Recruitment Committee, as well as connect with other high school students from across the nation. In addition to discussion groups, participants will also get the chance to be a part of a mixer, attend a session with the college of prospective major, and spend a couple of nights in the residence halls with current students to get the full experience of what it is like to be an Aggie.  Whoopin' Weekend has helped create many friendships and new contacts for participants to help them with the transition from high school to college. Family members, along with their participants, are invited to join us for informational presentations on admissions, residence life, financial aid, honors/scholarships, Corps of Cadets, and a session with a student panel.  The Whoopin' Weekend Conference is limited to 275 high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors.  The participants will attend Yell Practice, a tailgate event hosted by The Aggie Recruitment Committee, and watch a Texas A&M baseball game.  Students must attend the ENTIRE conference.  As a Whoopin' Weekend participant, you will participate in (among other things):
