Texas state has received national recognition for its enrollment of Hispanic students. Amanda Escobedo has more in this Bobcat Update.

Texas State University is now recognized as a Hispanic-serving institution by the U-S Department of Education. In order to receive that status, the university's enrollment of Hispanic students had to reach 25 percent. Having reached that number means Texas State is now eligible for more federal funding.

Stand up: "Texas State University President, Denise Trauth said that achieving the goal of H-S-I status means more opportunities for students and the university, and it means they will be setting more goals: increasing graduation and retention rates of Hispanics are at the top of their list."
Achieving H-S-I status has been a ongoing goal since Denise Trauth became president of Texas State in 2002. Currently, Texas State is the largest Hispanic Serving Institution in Texas. By comparison, the Hispanic enrollment at the University of Texas is less than 10 percent.
