Registration is now open for the fourth annual TEDxSHSU, set for Oct. 1, 2025, in the Orange Ballroom at the Lowman Student Center.

This competitive internal program, supported by the Provost’s Innovation Fund and administered through the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP), provides $250,000 over three years to establish a new Center of Excellence that will advance SHSU’s research enterprise and impact.

The Sam Houston State University Faculty Excellence Award is bestowed on professors whose scholarly accomplishments, service and academic engagement stand out among their peers. The 2025 recipients include Shyam Nair, Todd Primm, Jerry Cook, Keila Tyner and Kamphol Wipawayangkool.

Bearkats like Zarek Sain in the College of Criminal Justice know the importance of taking advantage of every opportunity SHSU has to offer. With plans to enroll in law school next fall, Sain is eager to develop his leadership and decision-making skills through both community and campus involvement.

Sam Houston State University's elite commitment to veteran and military-connected students persists through yet another prestigious recognition from the Texas Veterans Commission (TVC).
