who is ideaaL?

The Institute for the Development and Education of Asian American Leaders (IDEAAL) was founded in September 2003 as a portal to guide Asian American Aggies on the road to becoming strong influencers in the Texas A&M Community. We are a student-directed year-long developmental institute tailored towards freshmen and 1st-year transfer students.
