To be honest with you, I didn t want this job.
But only at first.
When I first transferred to Texas State in the fall of 2019, I never thought I would ever step foot inÂ

Texas State will extend the closure of its campuses for the second time since severe weather and power outages took over the San Marcos community, according to an email from University President Denise Trauth.
Along with the extended campus closure, which includes the cancellation of all in-person and virtual classes, Trauth says that power and water have been restored to the majority of campus.
She says the provost, Dr. Gene Bourgeois, will send an email to faculty and staff later today regarding how current disruptions to the schedule should be handled moving forward. We will open university offices on Monday, Feb. 22, at 8 a.m. for regular business hours but will be flexible for staff members who are facing hardships or need to be off to take care of personal issues, Trauth states in the email.Â
