Piper Professors
Each year, the Minnie Stevens Piper Foundation honors faculty members in Texas colleges and universities for their outstanding achievement in teaching at the collegiate level.
Piper Foundation honorees are well rounded, outgoing teachers who are devoted to their profession and have made a special impact on their students and the community.
Texas State University-San Marcos is proud to have had 17 faculty members chosen as Piper Professors. Only one other university has had more.
