President Jim Gaertner

Welcome

Hello and welcome to Sam Houston State University. My name is Jim Gaertner and as President and an alumnus of Sam Houston State, I am very pleased to welcome you to this very special university.

We were founded in 1879 and I am convinced that Sam Houston State offers you a classic, collegiate atmosphere that is rich in tradition and solid in academic programming. We are proud to be a welcoming and friendly university where students come first.

I would like to invite you to come and see for yourself why we say that Sam Houston State University is a place where education is "up close and personal."
