This year will honor the BFSN Pioneers, the trailblazing Black Aggies who enrolled at Texas A&M in the class of 1979 or earlier. While the Breakfast of Champions has traditionally centered on current students, this Legacy Edition celebrates the men and women who made that student experience possible. Pioneers, alumni, current students, and distinguished guests will come together for a morning of inspiration, networking, and fellowship, as pioneers share their stories of resilience, determination, and leadership, leaving a lasting impact on the next generation of Aggies who now walk the path they built.
