Greetings from the President
Welcome to Angelo State University. As President of this exceptional institution I am pleased to extend to you a heartfelt West Texas introduction to our university.
Angelo State University has a superb faculty, who were educated at the finest graduate schools in the nation and who selected ASU because of their genuine love for teaching. We offer a modern and growing campus which provides an ideal and safe setting to pursue your educational goals. Our new recreation center will be opening this year along with Plaza Verde, our newest and most innovative residence hall. You can select from 45 academic programs and more than 100 majors to ensure your personal and professional success. Many of our students continue their education in one of our 28 graduate programs or attend leading professional schools across the nation.
As a member of the Texas Tech University System, our commitment to students extends well beyond the classroom. We are proud that our tuition and fees remain at one of the most affordable rates in Texas. Our residence halls provide 100 percent Internet ready facilities and host many special programs to enhance your overall undergraduate experience. Numerous student clubs and organizations, as well as outstanding NCAA Division II intercollegiate athletics, including the 2010 NCAA Division II National Champion women’s outdoor track and field team, create a lively and engaging campus environment.
Our tradition of excellence must also look to the future. An education at ASU should embrace an expectation of leadership within regional, state, national and even international settings. We must be open to emerging concepts-whether security and border studies or the challenges of the global marketplace-even as we cherish the traditions of the past.
Together we have an exceptional opportunity to make a difference. I hope that you will join us at ASU and learn that from here, it’s possible.
Joseph C. Rallo
President
