Message from President Trauth

I’m excited that this summer edition of Hillviews has gone digital. The brilliance of our students, faculty, and staff can’t be contained in a volume of printed pages. In this digital issue, we share an up close and personal look at Texas State stories like never before. This edition includes more photos, videos, and behind-the-scenes access to our world-class academic programs.
