About

A WEEK IN THE LIFE OF TEXAS STATE is a developing tradition, showcasing the talents of our student photographers and displaying the uniqueness of life at Texas State.

Each photo was taken by one of a very talented collection of students. Not all of them have training in the art of photography, but each of them has an eye for capturing the life of Texas State.

As any Texas State student knows, life at Texas State could never be fully captured in a day. Each day is diverse, welcoming new events and new people into the lives of students, faculty, and staff. This series of photos, one that will be refreshed annually in April, strives to capture moments as the students perceive them, and define the experience known as A Week in The Life of Texas State.

Any student may snap shots of life on campus. It can be anything from students brushing their teeth, waiting for the bus, professors in class, to sporting events or lazy days by the river. Ten winning photographs will be unveiled, chosen by a panel of photographer critics and celebrity judges. Selected pictures from those submitted will then be displayed on the Fourth Floor of the LBJ Student Center as part of a year long exhibit. Photographs will also be printed in the University Star. No experience necessary; this is an opportunity everyone!
