Are you a first-generation student eager to find community, resources, and guidance for your graduate school journey? Whether you’re an undergraduate just beginning to explore graduate school or a current graduate student navigating your program, this panel is designed to help you feel seen, supported, and inspired. Once a First-Gen, Always a First-Gen: A Graduate School Panel is a special virtual discussion designed to celebrate, support, and empower all first-generation students at Texas State University.

During this event, you’ll hear directly from a panel of first-generation graduate students, alumni, and faculty who will share their personal experiences, challenges, and strategies that helped them succeed in graduate school. Topics will include navigating academic expectations, building professional networks, overcoming imposter syndrome, finding balance between school and personal life, and accessing helpful resources.

Attendees will also have an opportunity to ask questions, connect with peers, and learn more about resources available to help first-generation students thrive at every stage of their academic path.

Texas State’s Annual Security Reports and Fire Safety Report
We value the safety of all members of the Texas State University community at our main campus in San Marcos, TX and separate campuses in Maxwell, TX (ALERRT Campus) and Round Rock, TX. Texas State publishes a combined Annual Security and Fire Safety Report that contains information regarding campus safety and security including topics such as: campus law enforcement authority; crime reporting policies; campus alerts (Timely Warnings and Emergency Notifications); fire safety policies and procedures; programs to prevent dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking; the procedures the University will follow when one of these crimes is reported; and other matters of importance related to security on campus. The report also contains information about crime statistics for the three most recent calendar years concerning reported crimes that occurred on campus; in on-campus student housing facilities; in noncampus buildings or property owned or controlled by the University or a recognized student organization; and on public property within, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from, the campus. The report also provides fire statistics for any fires occurring in an on-campus student housing facility during the three most recent calendar years. The Fire Safety Report section and on-campus student housing statistics do not apply to Round Rock or the ALERRT Center, as those campuses do not currently have any student housing facilities. A paper copy of the report is available at Institutional Compliance and Ethics located at Elliott Hall A (201 Talbot Street, San Marcos, TX 78666), by calling (512) 245-4961, or by emailing cleryreport@txstate.edu. Additionally, a PDF of the report can be accessed electronically at www.clery.txstate.edu/report.
