In this episode of At Ease with General Mark A. Welsh III, President Welsh and his Chief of Staff Dr. Susan Ballabina reflect on a memorable visit to the Texas A&M College of Medicine, celebrate the conclusion of their spring visits to colleges and schools across the university, and dig into cutting-edge military innovation with their special guest, Dr. Nathan Tichenor.

As chief research officer at the George H.W. Bush Combat Development Complex, Dr. Tichenor shares insight into the world of hypersonics research at Texas A&M, where projectiles reach speeds of Mach 10, and how Texas A&M is pushing the boundaries of national security innovation. As a three-time Aggie graduate, he also reflects on the power of mentorship, research and the enduring value of an Aggie education.

At Ease with General Mark A. Welsh III, president of Texas A&M University, is produced by KAMU Studios.
