Hagler Institute for Advanced Study
The Hagler Institute for Advanced Study at Texas A&M University (HIAS), formerly the Texas A&M University Institute for Advanced Study (TIAS), is a research institute at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, that brings world-renowned scholars to collaborate on frontier research with faculty and students at A&M, with particular focus on “rising star” faculty. The institute cuts across all fields of study in A&M's ten colleges and Health Science Center. The institute integrates a visiting scholar with the relevant department endeavors and with related specialists in adjoining fields. The Institue is named in honor of Jon Hagler, a distinguished graduate of Texas A&M and a philanthropist who donated $20 million dollars to launch the endowment for the institute. Ten years in the making, HIAS was founded by John L. Junkins, a professor of aerospace engineering, and the former interim President of Texas A&M University. His ideas for a strategy of bringing more top scholars to Texas A&M were adopted by A&M's administration in 2010, with support from the university and the Chancellor of the Texas A&M System.
