This is an exciting and auspicious time for Austin College.
As the College’s new president, I am very proud to be connected to this institution’s strong academic reputation and longstanding tradition of educating leaders. I also look forward to the bright future stretching ahead of us.
We have long occupied a special niche as the small liberal arts college with an expansive worldview. It is no wonder that we are the nation’s top college in the participation rate for study abroad programs.
Austin College is a jewel among institutions of higher learning. For 160 years, Austin College has maintained an unwavering commitment to the transformative power of education. As the oldest institution of higher learning in the state, we occupy a unique position, deep in the heart and history of Texas.
Yet even as we look back with pride, we move forward with purpose–educating the world’s future leaders. At Austin College, we take satisfaction in helping students grow not only in their area of study, but in their sense of selves and in responsibility and service to the world.
Welcome to Austin College.
Dr. Marjorie Hass
Austin College President
