Mays’ Corporate Donor of the Year: Phillips 66
What started as a celebration at the Texas A&M Foundation to express appreciation to Phillips 66 for a $500,000 donation soon transitioned into a tribute to the company’s generosity and ties to Texas A&M.
BRIAN BISHOP, development ofcer for Mays Business School, surprised JUDITH VINCENT (below), general auditor of Phillips 66, during a luncheon, saying he wanted to express the school's appreciation for all the company has done. He gave her a plaque designating Phillips 66 as Mays’ 2016 Corporate Sponsor of the Year.
Vincent has been instrumental in coordinating the company’s gifs to Mays, which have helped fund annual trips to Africa for several Regents’ Scholars.
“Your willingness to listen and engage with our students made the recognition for Phillips 66 very easy,” Bishop said. “We look forward to working with you and your team for many years to come.”
Te clear glass plaque reads: “Mays Business School is proud of the corporate partners who invest in the academic and professional development of our students. Tese generous contributions allow us to accomplish our mission of creating knowledge and developing ethical leaders for a global society.”
Vincent said she was touched by the unexpected award. “We are extremely proud of what we have accomplished together in a short four years,” she said. “Our partnership works because of aligned values and shared objectives, but our partnership thrives because of the amazing people at Mays and the Texas A&M Foundation that I get to work with. Te administrators and faculty I work with are committed, passionate and care deeply about the success of the students. I could not ask for better collaborators. Again, we deeply appreciate the recognition.”
Judith Vincent
Before the luncheon, SONYA REED, senior vice president of human resources at Phillips 66, spoke of how impressed she has been with Texas A&M since joining Phillips 66 and moving to Houston 10 months ago. “A&M is a special
place – and one that people are clearly passionate about,” she said, noting how her observations fuel her fascination with the culture of organizations – their inner life, character and behavior. “In my experience, you can quickly fgure out what a particular culture encourages or discourages and whether there’s a common sense of purpose. We know that culture determines the level of trust in an organization, as well as its overall health and vitality. From colleagues, I’ve learned that A&M has a strong, distinct, values-based culture.”
Reed said the partnership between Texas A&M and Phillips 66 has been far-reaching. “Currently, 271 Aggie graduates are working in a range of engineering and business positions at our company – including the CEO,” she said. “And Texas A&M is the company’s top resource for interns and new hires for our university recruitment eforts.”
One of those partnerships is the SHIELD Scholars Program, which currently has 24 Aggies enrolled. It awards $3,500 scholarships to full-time students who are recruited by Phillips 66 and who demonstrate leadership abilities, involvement in student and professional organizations and an interest in a career in the energy industry. In addition to fnancial support, SHIELD Scholars participate in enrichment activities such as career development, leadership seminars, lecture series, community service and visits to Phillips 66 locations. Texas A&M is one of 10 universities participating in the program.
Partners in discovering the world
In another partnership, Phillips 66 collaborates with Mays to send 15 college sophomores each summer on a two-week expedition in Africa. Te students are all Regents’ Scholars – frst-generation college students.
“For a few of them, this trip was their frst time on an airplane and outside the U.S.,” Reed said. “For many, it was their frst opportunity to explore a new part of the world
and learn about its many cultures. And for all of them, it presented challenges that advanced their maturity. Te bond between A&M and Phillips 66 keeps getting stronger.”
TYSON VOELKEL, president of the Texas A&M Foundation, said he has been impressed by the company’s focus on values and its generosity with Texas A&M students. “I don’t call it a gif; I call it an investment in our university and our students.”
HENRY MUSOMA, a lecturer at Mays, accompanies the students to his homeland of Africa each summer. He described a correlation between Phillips 66’s dedication to the students and his favorite quote: “You can count the number of seeds in an orange, but you can never count the number of oranges in a seed.”
“ Teir company culture is grand in that it is sowing in a universal feld,” he said. “Phillips 66 sponsors our programs because it is the right thing to do. Teir sponsorship is matched by their active participation in our programs. Tey are fueling a renewed sense of purpose, passion and power in our student population.”

Supporting students from his hometown
Commodities trader funds business scholarships
ADAM SINN ’00 doesn’t want fnances to be the reason talented students don’t apply to or attend Mays Business School.
Adam Sinn ’00
Te 38-year-old commodities trader and member of Texas A&M University’s Class of 2000 has pledged $1 million to the Texas A&M Foundation to support scholarships for Mays Business School students, to encourage high school graduates from Dorado, Puerto Rico—where he now lives—and from Hoopeston, Ill.— his small hometown—to become Aggies.
“If you’re from Hoopeston or Dorado, you’d likely never think of applying to Texas A&M because you wouldn’t think you could aford it,” Sinn explained. “But knowing there’s a scholarship available can change that student’s mind. It can make being an Aggie a reality.”
Sinn’s brother became the family’s frst college graduate, and Sinn hoped to follow in his footsteps to Notre Dame. When he wasn’t admitted, he accepted a scholarship and fnancial aid to Southern Methodist University (SMU). Afer a friend transferred from SMU to Texas A&M, Sinn visited the campus and was immediately taken. “ Te frst time I walked across campus I remember thinking, ‘I want to be an Aggie.’”
He transferred, found a job bussing tables at Kona Ranch, and spent his fnal two undergraduate years studying fnance. Looking back, if he could do his college experience all over again, he would have come to Texas A&M as a freshman. “My brother always told me
that if I couldn’t proudly tell someone where I graduated from, then I was at the wrong school. Lucky for me, I’m proud to have graduated from A&M.”
Sinn’s career began in accounting and eventually led him to energy trading. In
2009, afer Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy and Sinn lost his job, he took the biggest risk of his career and applied for membership on an exchange to begin trading his own life savings. Te bet paid of. Later, business incentives led him to Puerto Rico, where his company Aspire Commodities LP, now employs fve electricity and natural gas traders.
Sinn is living proof that signifcant giving isn’t just for the over-40 crowd. He has previously donated to Texas A&M Athletics. Te Mays scholarship is endowed, meaning the principal will be invested by the Texas A&M Foundation and income from the endowment will support scholarships for four students annually.
“Luck and circumstance have had a lot to do with my career success, but I attribute much of that luck to the Aggie Network,” he said. “You shouldn’t ever forget where you came from, so I’m going to be proud when someone from Hoopeston or Dorado receives one of these scholarships and joins the Aggie Network.”
“Luck and circumstance have had a lot to do with my career success, but I attribute much of that luck to the Aggie Network.”
Preston Young steps up to support real estate program
PRESTON YOUNG ’02 enjoys coming back to visit his alma mater and the master’s in real estate students at Mays Business School who will soon be going out in the feld, managing and building properties. He said he learns from the students as much as he teaches them.
“Wealth isn’t just a measure of someone’s money and the freedom it can ofen provide. More importantly, it is the freedom of controlling one’s own time,” he said. “I feel compelled to share my time and my experience with the students.”
Young said there is a bit of a “pay it forward” when he comes back to visit. “I tell them things I wish I had heard at that age, and it’s a two-way street,” he said. “ Teir questions give me insight, and they are so bright and inquisitive.”
Young has committed a $100,000 gif to support the program at Mays. “It is easy to have a big propensity to give back to this great university. You start to think about the longevity of the gif, and you really feel you’re making an impact on the future,” he said. “When I meet a fellow Aggie, so many good things surface. I feel it’s almost incumbent upon me to give back.”
Young received a bachelor’s degree in fnance from Texas A&M University and was a member of the Corps of Cadets and Ross Volunteer Company. Now he is a member of the Aggie Real Estate Network.
Young is regional managing partner for Stream Realty, which was recognized by the Aggie 100 for several years as one of the 100 fastest-growing Aggie-owned or operated companies. He leads the Houston ofce and jointly spearheads the frm’s strategic initiatives across its entire platform. In addition, he oversees the frm’s initiatives concerning asset management, acquisition and development activities for its principal and strategic clients.
Before joining Stream, Young served in the capital markets division at Trammell Crow Company. He is a member of the board of trustees for the Free Enterprise Institute and serves on the board of directors for the Business Ethics Forum and John Paul II Foundation for Life and Family. In addition, he is involved in a number of other civic and charitable organizations including the 12th Man Foundation’s Champions Council, the Austin Institute, Catholic Charities of Houston, and Western Academy.

RICKY DILLARD ’19 Regents’ Scholarship
I truly will be forever grateful for my regents’ Scholarship! I have always worked tirelessly to accomplish my personal goals and I possess every aspect of an outgoing individual, but fnances were not always important to me. I am overwhelmed by the givers of this scholarship simply for their recognition that many sharp and talented individuals are coming from places of ‘faded hope.’
The Regents’ program has found a way to take advantage of those individuals, like myself, by pouring into them and being that extra nudge to claim success. overall, the regents’ Scholarship continues to serve as a catalyst towards my success, and for that reason, I am honored, as well as happily obligated to do great things.

Craig and Galen Brown Scholarship
During my time at Texas A&M, I have been fortunate to receive a scholarship from the Craig and Galen Brown Foundation. Three years ago, Mr. Brown gave me the gift of opportunity: an educational experience that has changed my life and countless positions of leadership that have provided me with values and skills that I will carry with me as I continue forward in my career and in life.
His gift has also provided me with a community of like-minded individuals: people accustomed to tenacious optimism and diligent pursuit of their dreams. Mr. Brown’s selfessness provides an incredible example of what selfess service truly means - one I hope to emulate during my time here and post-graduation.

Full-Time MBA candidate Diversity Scholarship from the Ofce of Graduate and Professional Studies
Returning to school for my MBA at Mays Business School last year brought a lot of new and exciting experiences: dynamic academic discussions with world-class faculty and classmates, trips around the country interviewing for the perfect summer internship and experiential learning opportunities through case competitions, MBA Venture Challenge, Disaster City, and now, the opportunity to study abroad this summer in China. The list goes on and on.
However, choosing to return to business school was still a leap of faith that required some life rearranging - namely, leaving the security of a job in corporate America. Receiving both the MBA Scholarship from Mays and the Diversity Scholarship from the Ofce of Graduate and Professional Studies (OGAPS) fundamentally changed the level at which I am able to participate in the MBA program. Many of the program experiences I have had were funded by my scholarships, allowing me to totally immerse. I have had and continue to have an enriching MBA experience that will not only prepare me to be a strategic and innovative business leader but will make my time at Mays a positive lifelong memory. I cannot say thank you enough to the MBA Programs Ofce and OGAPS for awarding me such generous scholarships that have enhanced my time at Texas A&M University.

Mays MS Excellence Scholarship
I will always be grateful to the INFo department and my sponsor DR. MARY LEA MCANALLY for choosing me as an MS Excellence Scholarship recipient. This scholarship provided me with essential fnancial support and allowed me to concentrate on my studies. I hope to make them proud by excelling in my career using the knowledge and experience gathered here at Mays Business School.
SAMAYITA GUHA ’16
Mays MS Excellence Scholarship
I come from a middle-class Indian family, and I have taken an educational loan to meet part of the expenditure for my master’s in management information systems. I had plans of pursuing further studies after completing my master’s degree. To pay for my expenses and to repay the loan, it would have involved a signifcant amount of time and hardship that may have hindered my study preparations.
The fnancial benefts of my scholarship were of considerable amount as per Indian standards and prevented further loan amounts mounting on me. It also boosted my confdence. I got more time to focus on my studies and Ph.D. applications. eventually, I succeeded in getting admission into Mays Business School’s Ph.D. program in operations and supply chain management.

Lindsay Dian Walters ’09 Memorial Scholarship
Te Lindsay Dian Walters Scholarship is funded by friends and family in honor of the PPA graduate who passed away in 2009.
Her parents, LISA WALTERS ’79 and CHARLES WALTERS contribute annually for her birthday (July 14) and others give on special dates.
Te initial funds that were collected by the Texas A&M Foundation totalled $56,437, and $21,647 was matched by Mays Business School.
So far, 10 students have received scholarships from the fund.
A MESSAGE FROM LISA WALTERS:
Who was Lindsay? A daughter, a friend, an Aggie, an angel who walked this earth. She embodied the Aggie core values of excellence, integrity, leadership, loyalty, respect and selfess service. Some words her friends have used to describe her: kind, loving, sincere, intelligent, helpful, honest, humble, supportive, trustworthy, happy, fun, a true friend and devoted to Christ.
As Lindsay’s parents, we hope that Lindsay will continue to bless, inspire and encourage others to live in the manner in which she lived.
