The area known as the Walk of Champions is located in front of the Student Recreation Center. The Walk of Champions features bricks engraved with the names of students, employees and friends of A&M. The values promoted by the University-Leadership, fair play, sportsmanship, honesty and integrity-have been known by generations as the Aggie Spirit. Recreational Sports and the Student Recreation Center embody the Aggie Spirit by providing all Aggies with the facilities and programs to challenge themselves test their limits and gain the benefits of sportsmanship.
