Texas State University has named Arkansas State University Chancellor Kelly R. Damphousse as the sole finalist in its search for next university president.
During her tenure, Texas State has grown considerably from 25,000 students to 38,000 and she helped foster an increase in the number of Hispanic and Latino students, landing the school’s designation by the U.S. Department of Education as a Hispanic Serving Institution by the U.S. Department of Education.
“As a first-generation college student, I am humbled to be considered for the presidency of such an accomplished university, strategically located in the middle of the Texas Innovation Corridor and primed to become a Tier One research university,” Damphousse, who was raised in Northern Canada, said in a statement.
Damphousse won’t immediately take over the role at the San Marcos campus, as state law requires a 21-day waiting period before the Texas State System Board of Regents can consider his nomination. Once confirmed, he will serve as the university’s 10th president.
