From coaching aspirations to inspiring the next generation of STEM leaders, Desurae Matthews ’13 & ’15 is making an impact across Texas!

As director of the Texas Mobile STEM Labs Program for Learning Undefeated, Matthews leads a team of 22 staff members and 10 mobile STEM labs that deliver immersive, hands-on learning experiences directly to K-8 students in communities where opportunities may be limited. Through real-world STEM education, her team helps young learners envision future careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

A native of Wharton, Matthews earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in kinesiology at SFA to pursue a coaching career. An encounter in her hometown with Learning Undefeated in the wake of Hurricane Harvey in 2017 led to her stint as an education outreach coordinator for the nonprofit and her director role nearly a decade later. #AxeEm

Every Lumberjack story starts somewhere. 🪓

Today, another group of future Jacks took their first steps toward life at SFA by meeting classmates, connecting with faculty and staff and experiencing campus for themselves.

Your turn is next! If you haven't registered for Lumberjack Orientation yet, there's still time to reserve your spot at https://t.co/2Ggr0IZ3P9.

We'll see you on campus soon!

A historic day for SFA. 🪓

Today, students, faculty, staff, alumni, community leaders and distinguished guests gathered to celebrate the groundbreaking of the Arnold Center for Entrepreneurship.

Made possible through the generosity of Ashley and Greg Arnold, along with investments from @utsystem and the State of Texas, this transformational facility will serve as a hub for innovation, workforce development, applied research and economic growth across East Texas.

This groundbreaking marks another major milestone in SFA's strategic plan and campus master plan as we continue investing in opportunities that will benefit generations of Lumberjacks to come.

Behind every Lumberjack is a story of support, encouragement and love.

Today, we celebrate the fathers and father figures who have helped shape our students' journeys and stood beside them through every challenge and achievement.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads who help make the Lumberjack experience possible! 💜🪓
