The unique, spring-fed San Marcos River that runs through
campus is a constant visual reminder of the many dimensions and roles
that water plays in our lives. The network of rivers connecting the San
Marcos River to the rest of the world can be explored as both subject
and metaphor for connecting students’ personal sensibilities to
the world around them. Our university community, as well, is intertwined
with relationships which are themselves nurtured by our special sense
of place “on the river.” Exposing students to the central
role and function of rivers on our “water planet” can help
nurture a sense of moral responsibility, beginning with the very river
coursing through Texas State. Not only should Texas State, “The
Rising Star of Texas,” be a good practical steward of the river
shimmering at our doorstep, but we should also teach our students to fully
recognize and cherish this irreplaceable resource.
