“After 28 years of working for all members of the A&M system, the opportunity to join Texas A&M directly and be a part of President Young’s cabinet is a great opportunity to serve my alma mater,” says McGinnis.

“While I will continue to look for opportunities to elevate the entire A&M system, I look forward to assisting President Young in furthering Texas A&M as a world-class university.  I am privileged to play any role in the development of the positive attributes Aggies can carry into our society.”

He also manages day-to-day operations of the Texas A&M Compliance Program and provides executive leadership when required. He also is responsible for maintaining and assisting offices and programs throughout the university in compliance matters and regulations.

McGinnis, a native of Boerne, Texas, and his wife Leslie, class of 1990, have three daughters who are members of the Texas A&M classes of 2017 and 2020, and a future member of the class of 2023.
