It’s a great day to hire a Bobcat! Hats off to Ray Rodgers and his staff pulling off our Internship Connections day @txst. Over 30 faculty from every college on campus doing their best to connect students to the experiences that make a career. #StudentSuccess

Had a great day working with faculty and learning from them how we can empower #StudentSuccess through faculty engagement. It takes a village and we are coming together to get our @txst students to the finish line!

It's a great day to HIRE a Bobcat! Especially if you are a first-generation Bobcat! Proud of the work our team did on securing a career readiness grant from the Moody Foundation. Thanks to the Moody Foundation for their generous gift. https://t.co/XQG2bq5AfE

Had such a great time at our first @txst football game! @txstfootball played great, the spirits were high and our seats are great. Go Bobcats!

[Michael Preston @MPrestonEdD]

Proud to say Texas State for #CollegeColorsDay 2024. You’ll find me tomorrow UFCU Stadium cheering on our Bobcats! I can see the stadium from my office window! Eat ‘Em’ Up Cats! @txst

[Michael Preston @MPrestonEdD]

I did my part to food drive the Bobcats to victory!

Tonight is the night! Our second annual Back the Bobcats Block Party at @zelicks! There is no charge to attend this fun event as we get ready to watch @TXSTATEFOOTBALL kickoff their 2024 campaign tomorrow! See you there!🐾 #BeatLamar

Students are looking for more efficient and clear pathways to graduation. Here at @txst, we are providing those to students through the introduction of NavigateTXST and other services. https://t.co/9vVAhCBDpj

Weather looking good for #TXST this weekend. Cannot wait for my first Bobcat Game Day!

[Michael Preston @MPrestonEdD]

I will be the first to admit I have often disagreed with @HenmackIII on policy issues, but here is where we find unity. The more we can diversify degree programs and create balance, the more well-rounded our graduates will be. Liberal arts create resilient workers!

[Henry Mack III @HenmackIII]

Not only does a liberal arts education afford learners an understanding of all choices available to them, enabling them to live life as informed agents of reason & citizens of a free society, it also exposes students to the conditions of a free society; it is necessary to achieve higher education’s larger purpose: to actualize the Common Good.

Some salient reminders from @McCormickProf as we start the new academic year. ⬇️

Look at this crew chilling in L.A. and talking First Gen success. Lots of great ideas for data and decisions being made. Go Bobcats! @txst #FirstGenProud

[Michael Preston @MPrestonEdD]

@jselingo Public universities are doing just fine thank you. When costs are kept lower and access higher the results are great for the vast majority of students.
