Jaguar Royalty and the Royal Court

• The Jaguar Royalty program recognizes students who embody the Spirit of the Jaguar while striving for the highest academic achievement, campus involvement, and community service. They demonstrate the A&M-SA values in their daily actions and serve as ambassadors to the University at various A&M-SA-sponsored events throughout the year. 
• The full Jaguar Royal Court includes two A&M-SA Jaguar Royals, plus four students as a part of the Royal Court.
• Members of the A&M-San Antonio Royal Court hold very prestigious positions. As ambassadors and stewards of Texas A&M University-San Antonio, the Royal Court represents the University at various events throughout the year, including Fiesta.
• The Royal Court is well-rounded, exhibits leadership skills, and works well in a team setting. As an elected representative of the University, the position of the Royal Court comes with high esteem and responsibility. Therefore, we expect the Royal Court to be a cheerful voice and professional representative for the University.
