A Message from President Hurley

Dear Fellow Texans,

There has never been a more exciting time to be at Tarleton State University! For 125 years, we have impacted lives through education while personifying the spirit, tenacity, and drive inherent in each and every Texan.

Our incredible foundation is the basis for a new era of excellence as we celebrate a historic milestone and build toward our important future. Through it all, our devotion to student-centered excellence has been our cornerstone.

Our students define us, and their success is a tribute to the strength of our Texan family and the growing significance of a Tarleton State degree.

As we look ahead and chart our future, we recognize that resources vital to our service-based mission are increasingly imperative. Expanding support from alumni, friends and stakeholders is essential to student-centered excellence.

The Texan Excellence Fund is our response to this important challenge. Dedicated to the holistic development of our students as lifelong leaders, the Texan Excellence Fund offers all who recognize the significance of our mission to make a life-changing difference. Generosity at all levels matters, as participation is the measure of success.

I ask that you join us as we define the future of our great university by becoming a Texan Excellence Fund member. Together, let’s exemplify the leadership of our legendary founder.

Together we thrive,

Dr. James Hurley
President
