University Communications

In University Communications, our mission is to elevate Texas State University through strategic communications, media relations, and digital engagement.

To achieve this mission, we are focused on telling compelling and engaging stories about the myriad of ways TXST is a top national research university and a vibrant place to learn, discover, create, and serve. We also support presidential communications; collaborate with and advise departments across the university on their respective outreach and communication initiatives; and respond swiftly to crises and reputational challenges when the need arises. Our target audiences are internal in the TXST community (students, faculty, and staff), as well as external (news media, prospective students, parents and families, alumni, and donors).
