O Trinity of Blessed Light” (St. Ambrose of Milan, c. 340-397) has evolved as a bridge to American Christianity: It connects the Episcopal Church’s direct Anglican inheritance to a wider ecumenical appreciation of Trinitarian worship. On Trinity Sunday, it quietly reinforces the unity of Christians praising the same Triune God, even as American expressions range from formal choral Evensong to contemporary choral concerts.

The RELLIS Data and Research Center project at Texas A&M’s RELLIS Campus, a privately developed facility with about 10,000 SF of dedicated data center space for high-performance computing, is currently in limbo. Construction began over a year ago, with Phase I (a 45,000 SF two-story building) underway as of late 2025. However, the developer, RELLIS Campus Data and Research Center LLC, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November 2025, raising uncertainties about completion and future progress. No recent official updates from Texas A&M indicate resumption or cancellation.
November 11, 2025 Update:
The project, located on the Texas A&M University System’s Rellis Campus in Bryan (Brazos County), has faced significant delays. Originally slated to begin construction by November 2021, it was pushed back due to the 2021 Winter Storm Uri. In November 2023, construction was announced to start in 2024, with an expected opening in Q3 2024 (July–September). However, no sources confirm completion or operations.Recent developments include:
February 2025: Bryan approved a reinvestment zone on the 25-acre site to attract the data center, with ongoing negotiations.
October 2025: Officials clarified no formal plans have been submitted for the site, despite zoning approvals for potential development.
The project’s official site (rellisdrc.com) states “Site will be available soon,” indicating it’s still under preparation. It’s designed as a 225,000 sq ft Tier III facility with colocation, cloud services, and educational spaces for workforce training.
The RELLIS Data and Research Center will be a public – private development with Texas A&M University. The data center will be built on the new RELLIS Campus located in College Station, Texas. It will offer cloud storage and outstanding managed services. The RELLIS Academy and Research Lab offers the ability for Texas A&M University to give real world data center experience to both students and faculty.

KANM Student Radio, founded in 1973 at Texas A&M University, began as Student Government Radio, broadcasting via cable on 107.5 FM in partnership with Mid-West Video Corporation. Initially airing from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. weekdays, it offered diverse genres like hard rock and country. Despite early financial struggles, accumulating $5,783.64 in debt by 1977, KANM grew its influence through the 1970s and 1980s, facing technical issues like outages in 1978 and 1979.
It became independent in the 1980s, moving to the Pavilion complex in 1983 with equipment donations. KANM pioneered online streaming in 1998, transitioning to online-only by the mid-2010s. In 2024, it secured a low-power FM permit (KAGZ-LP 95.5 FM), marking a return to airwaves. Now located in the Memorial Student Center, KANM remains student-run, promoting non-commercial music and hosting events like the bi-annual “Save the Music” concert.
Howdy! I am so stoked to announce that we recently got to work with The Highway 6 Band, a sick group based out of College Station, to produce a KANM Library Session!!

Opening and operating a small coffee shop in Texas requires adherence to various codes and standards to ensure safety, legality, and quality service. Students get a front row view of the competing requirements of safety and economy even before the cafe atmospheric and economic viability make their passion a going concern.
1. Business Licenses and Permits:
Business License: Obtain a general business license from your local city or county authority. Requirements and fees vary by location.
Certificate of Occupancy: This certifies that your building complies with zoning laws and is safe for occupancy. It’s typically issued after necessary inspections.
Food Handler’s License: All employees involved in food preparation or service must obtain this certification within 60 days of employment.
Seller’s Permit: Required for businesses selling tangible goods subject to sales tax. You can register for this permit through the Texas Comptroller’s Office.
2. Health and Safety Regulations:
Texas Food Establishment Rules: These rules outline standards for food safety, including employee hygiene, equipment sanitation, and food handling procedures.
County and City Health Department Regulations

Building Codes: Ensure compliance with local building codes, which cover structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, and fire safety.
Zoning Regulations: Verify that your chosen location is zoned appropriately for a food establishment.
Accessibility Standards: Adhere to the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements to ensure your facility is accessible to all patrons.
4. Additional Considerations:
Signage Permits: Obtain permits for exterior signs, as many municipalities have regulations governing signage size, lighting, and placement.
Waste Disposal: Comply with local ordinances regarding waste management, including grease disposal and recycling.
Insurance: While not a code or standard, securing appropriate insurance (e.g., general liability, property, and workers’ compensation) is crucial for protecting your business.
There’s enough “content” in the foregoing list of considerations to meet the requirement for an Associates Degree at any community college.
Starting and running a privately held coffee shop within a building located in the campus proper — think the franchise chains like Starbucks — is another layer of complexity in our session on Joint Use Agreements.
