Katie Sarkhosh

Throughout the semester, students are given opportunities to meet with the university's president to talk about their concerns. Katie Sarkhosh has more in this Bobcat Update.

Students have many ideas about what could be better at Texas State, and occasionally they get a chance to express their ideas in one-on-one meetings with President Denise Trauth. The meetings address a wide range of issues.
Efrain Balderas says he wanted to know what the university is doing to help first-generation college students adjust to the pressures of college life. He says he knows personally what a struggle they face if they don't seek guidance.
SB: "As a first generation student, I can tell you it's hard. I want to know how we can adjust better."
Bianca Rodriguez is also a first-generation college student. She says she wanted to learn more about how the university promotes diversity.
SB: "I want to know what they're doing to get more Hispanic students here."
Many of these concerns are already being looked into by Texas State officials, and changes are constantly being made to improve our university. For Bobcat Update, I'm Katie Sarkhosh.
