Texas State University marks its 125th anniversary, looks ahead to bright futureA view looking west of NRG Stadium, left, home to the Houston Texans NFL team, and the now dormant Astrodome, right, in the area now know as NRG Park Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2024, in Houston. The Astrodome Conservancy, a group dedicated to preserving the structure, has proposed a multi-use renovation for the once legendary building.
“It took forever to build that building, but now it sits on this really strong foundation where it’ll never fall down because of all the work they put into it,” Damphousse said. “I think about that as a metaphor for the foundation we’re laying here.” Currently, the university offers more than 200 degree programs and is making strides as a top-tier research institution.
Looking forward, Texas State aims to reach 50,000 students by 2030 and become a higher-level research university.
