Bobby Ahdieh
Dean - Texas A&M School of Law
Filmmaker: Meridith Manning Productions
The dean of a law school is not usually recognized for his urban planning abilities. But when Bobby Ahdieh became the Dean of the Texas A&M Law School in 2018, he had to learn some new skills. He’s led the charge for the development of the new campus in downtown Fort Worth, a move that, he says, will bring about a fundamental, beneficial change to both A&M and Fort Worth. It will change the face of the southern part of downtown and give Aggies another place to call home. Ahdieh has become ensconced in the fabric of the city, a move that only makes Fort Worth embrace him even more.
