R.C. Slocum, the winningest football coach in Texas A&M’s history, will be the guest speaker at the Aug. 10 Christian Business Luncheon, scheduled for 11:30 a.m. at the Lone Star College-Tomball Elmer L. Beckendorf Center.

Slocum won six championships as head coach of the Aggies - three SWC titles, two Big 12 South Division titles, and the 1998 Big 12 Conference Championship. He was league Coach of the Year four times and was runner up for National Coach of the Year honors in 1994. His teams went to 11 bowl games and three times finished in the AP Top Ten. Slocum's winning percentage of .865 (44-6-2) was the best in Southwest Conference history, besting the .797 percentage set by the legendary Darrel Royal of the University of Texas.

Slocum has been involved in many charities including the Children's Miracle Network, the Peaceable Kingdom Retreat for Children, the Houston Live Stock Show & Rodeo and the Special Olympics.  R.C. is currently President of the American Football Coaches Foundation.

He has served as a Special Advisor to the President of Texas A&M since 2002. In this capacity he has been involved in formulation of policies and procedures that would make A&M a more attractive and supportive campus for minorities and first generation college students.
