SERVICE AREA: Rio Grande College serves the thirteen counties of Atascosa, Bandera, Dimmit, Edwards, Frio, Kinney, La Salle, Maverick, Medina, Real, Uvalde, Val Verde and Zavala. 6 The Rio Grande College History Del Rio, Eagle Pass, and Uvalde The Rio Grande College of Sul Ross State University, with sites at Del Rio, Eagle Pass, and Uvalde, serves thirteen counties in Southwest Texas. Sometimes referred to as the Southwest Texas Badlands, this area is known for its fields of purple sage and its Old West ambiance. In this atmosphere, the College works continually towards higher standards of excellence in teaching and learning. The Rio Grande College offers junior, senior, and graduate coursework with programs in Liberal Arts, Business, and Teacher Education. Some courses are also offered on the Laughlin Air Force Base near Del Rio. Begun originally as the Sul Ross State University Study Center, the College was renamed the Uvalde Study Center in 1985, and again the Uvalde Center in 1989. Recognizing its service to the broad area of the Middle Rio Grande and Wintergarden regions of Texas, the Legislature renamed it Sul Ross State University Rio Grande College in 1995. Sul Ross and the southwest are closely tied. The blending of the Hispanic and Anglo heritages makes Sul Ross perfect for anyone who seeks intellectual development with emphasis on the mutual culture that all Americans share. The student body consists of multi-cultural, traditional, and non-traditional students. Campus activities and opportunities are designed for everyone. Activities include a calendar of programming events, publication of students' creative writing, a student newspaper, a yearbook, and five student organizations: the International Reading Association, the National Council for Teachers of English, a service learning club, a business club, and an editor’s club. Additionally, the College students participate in an annual leadership retreat. The Education Department sponsors the annual "Issues in Education" lectures; the Liberal Arts Department sponsors trips to cultural activities such as the San Antonio Ballet and Shakespeare in the Park; and the Business Administration Department offers public lectures with noted experts on business topics. Additionally, tutoring sessions are available in all areas for anyone who would like extra help with his or her studies. Overall, Sul Ross offers a stimulating academic environment with an emphasis on the student. The College Sites Del Rio Del Rio, Texas, sister city of Ciudad Acuña, Mexico, combines the ambiance of Mexico with American culture to form a diversified city. Nearby, the Pecos River joins the Devil's River and the Rio Grande to create Lake Amistad, the ninth largest of its kind in the United States with more than 850 miles of shoreline. Its canyons, cliffs, and caves provide both scenery and a place filled with history. Del Rio is the home of the Whitehead Memorial Museum with its log cabin, cultural folk art exhibit, and numerous other historical displays. A visit to Whitehead is like taking a stroll through history. Judge Roy Bean, "The Law West of the Pecos," is buried here. West of Del Rio is Seminole Canyon State Historical Park where 10,000-year-old pictographs adorn the canyon walls. Del Rio provides a perfect place for learning about life (and education) on the border, and Sul Ross State University Rio Grande College is proud to serve this region. 7 Eagle Pass Eagle Pass, located on the border across from Piedras Negras, Mexico, is the center of a thriving international trade community. First established as a camp in 1849, Eagle Pass has grown into a city of over 25,000 people. With a variety of shops and malls, it is the gateway to Piedras Negras' colorful outdoor markets and handiwork of the Mexican tradition. Biculturalism flourishes in Eagle Pass, and it is common for people in Eagle Pass to speak both Spanish and English. In this atmosphere, Sul Ross State University Rio Grande College strives to bring together diverse cultures. Uvalde Uvalde is a relatively old township in Southwest Texas. Settled in 1853, it served as a trading post for area settlers and forts along the Nueces River. Prior to Texas' annexation, many battles were fought along the Nueces River in an attempt to settle the boundary dispute between Texas and Mexico. Turn of the century architecture is still evident in Uvalde. Nestled along tree shaded streets are many elegant old homes, dating back to the late 1890s and early 1900s. Many storied houses with long porches, balconies, and tall graceful columns preserve a testament to the past. The huge old oaks that were so numerous in the area are so loved by the city that many streets are built around the trees. Sul Ross State University Rio Grande College Statement MISSION: Sul Ross State University was created by act of the Thirty-Fifth Legislature of Texas in 1917 as a state normal college with the primary purpose of preparing teachers for the public schools of West Texas. In 1921 the mission was expanded to provide course work in general academic requirements equivalent to two years of college. In 1923 the State Legislature changed the name of the institution to Sul Ross State Teachers College, and course work was added leading to baccalaureate degrees in liberal arts disciplines. Master's degree studies were added in 1930. With name changes in 1949 to Sul Ross State College, and again in 1969, to Sul Ross State University, the institution continued to have a broadened mission. The Sul Ross State University upper level component was established in 1973 by Coordinating Board authority, and in 1989 the Texas Legislature established it as part of the university. The Rio Grande College, located on the campus of Southwest Texas Junior College, offers educational programs for a thirteen-county region of the Southwest Texas not served by any other senior-level institution of higher education. The student body reflects the population of the area, which includes a large percentage of students from rural settings and a mixture of ethnic groups. Additionally, the University attracts students from several states and foreign countries. As a coeducational, comprehensive, public institution of higher education offering certificate programs and associate, baccalaureate, and master's degree programs, Sul Ross State University has three major functions: teaching, research, and public service. The University provides an atmosphere conducive to the free exchange of ideas, to the fostering of an appreciation of diversity, and to the development of professionalism among all who participate in its activities and services. Sul Ross State University provides effective faculty and staff, appropriate facilities, plus relevant instructional resources, student life programs, and support services to enhance teaching and other 8 opportunities for learning. The University supports research and scholarship to advance knowledge, to facilitate teaching, to encourage professional development, and to utilize the distinctive environment of the Big Bend and Middle Rio Grande areas of Texas. Athletic, cultural, educational, and intercollegiate activities serve as the focus for the public service endeavors of the University. The ultimate outcome of higher education enables the individual to utilize knowledge and skills for personal growth and professional development. To this end, the University seeks to cultivate in its students: Mastery of analytical, communication, and computational skills: Students will be able to analyze statements and situations and use logical processes to solve problems; to communicate effectively orally and in writing; and to solve quantitative problems at or above the level of college algebra. Mastery of a general body of knowledge: From the general education core curriculum, students will acquire a common set of intellectual, physical, and aesthetic experiences designed to give them a breadth of knowledge. Competency in an area of specialization: Students will acquire in-depth knowledge of major issues, techniques, and theories in one or two subject areas. Graduates will be able to function as entry-level practitioners in professions that are related to their area of specialization; achieve advanced levels of professional development; and/or enter and successfully complete graduate programs of study.
