The Rio Grande College History Del Rio, Eagle Pass, and Uvalde The Rio Grande College of Sul Ross State University, with sites at Del Rio, Eagle Pass, and Uvalde, serves thirteen counties in Southwest Texas. Sometimes referred to as the Southwest Texas Badlands, this area is known for its fields of purple sage and its Old West ambiance. In this atmosphere, the College works continually towards higher standards of excellence in teaching and learning. The Rio Grande College offers junior, senior, and graduate coursework with programs in Liberal Arts, Business, and Teacher Education. Some courses are also offered on the Laughlin Air Force Base near Del Rio. Begun originally as the Sul Ross State University Study Center, the College was renamed the Uvalde Study Center in 1985, and again the Uvalde Center in 1989. Recognizing its service to the broad area of the Middle Rio Grande and Wintergarden regions of Texas, the Legislature renamed it Sul Ross State University Rio Grande College in 1995. Sul Ross and the southwest are closely tied. The blending of the Hispanic and Anglo heritages makes Sul Ross perfect for anyone who seeks intellectual development with emphasis on the mutual culture that all Americans share. The student body consists of multi-cultural, traditional, and non-traditional students. Campus activities and opportunities are designed for everyone. Activities include a calendar of programming events, publication of students' creative writing, a student newspaper, a yearbook, and five student organizations: the International Reading Association, the National Council for Teachers of English, a service learning club, a business club, and an editor’s club. Additionally, the College students participate in an annual leadership retreat. The Education Department sponsors the annual "Issues in Education" lectures; the Liberal Arts Department sponsors trips to cultural activities such as the San Antonio Ballet and Shakespeare in the Park; and the Business Administration Department offers public lectures with noted experts on business topics. Additionally, tutoring sessions are available in all areas for anyone who would like extra help with his or her studies. Overall, Sul Ross offers a stimulating academic environment with an emphasis on the student. The College Sites Del Rio Del Rio, Texas, sister city of Ciudad Acuña, Mexico, combines the ambiance of Mexico with American culture to form a diversified city. Nearby, the Pecos River joins the Devil's River and the Rio Grande to create Lake Amistad, the ninth largest of its kind in the United States with more than 850 miles of shoreline. Its canyons, cliffs, and caves provide both scenery and a place filled with history. Del Rio is the home of the Whitehead Memorial Museum with its log cabin, cultural folk art exhibit, and numerous other historical displays. A visit to Whitehead is like taking a stroll through history. Judge Roy Bean, "The Law West of the Pecos," is buried here. West of Del Rio is Seminole Canyon State Historical Park where 10,000-year-old pictographs adorn the canyon walls. Del Rio provides a perfect place for learning about life (and education) on the border, and Sul Ross State University Rio Grande College is proud to serve this region.

Eagle Pass Eagle Pass, located on the border across from Piedras Negras, Mexico, is the center of a thriving international trade community. First established as a camp in 1849, Eagle Pass has grown into a city of over 25,000 people. With a variety of shops and malls, it is the gateway to Piedras Negras' colorful outdoor markets and handiwork of the Mexican tradition. Biculturalism flourishes in Eagle Pass, and it is common for people in Eagle Pass to speak both Spanish and English. In this atmosphere, Sul Ross State University Rio Grande College strives to bring together diverse cultures. Uvalde Uvalde is a relatively old township in Southwest Texas. Settled in 1853, it served as a trading post for area settlers and forts along the Nueces River. Prior to Texas' annexation, many battles were fought along the Nueces River in an attempt to settle the boundary dispute between Texas and Mexico. Turn of the century architecture is still evident in Uvalde. Nestled along tree shaded streets are many elegant old homes, dating back to the late 1890s and early 1900s. Many storied houses with long porches, balconies, and tall graceful columns preserve a testament to the past. The huge old oaks that were so numerous in the area are so loved by the city that many streets are built around the trees.

Sul Ross State University Rio Grande College Mission The ultimate goal of higher education is to produce graduates who will be effective leaders in their chosen profession, valued members of their communities, and responsible citizens of the world. As a coeducational, comprehensive, public institution or higher education offering certificate programs and associate, baccalaureate, and master’s degree programs, the mission of Sul Ross State University and Sul Ross State University Rio Grande College is to include the following structure in all of its academic programs: From the core curriculum, students will acquire a common set of intellectual, physical, and aesthetic experiences designed to foster a broad appreciation for the human experience. Graduates will be expected to demonstrate the critical thinking skills, oral and written communication skills, and quantitative literacy that will be required for them to become effective leaders. Moreover, graduates will possess the in-depth knowledge necessary to either enter professions that are related to their areas of specialization, to achieve advanced levels of professional development, or to enter and successfully complete graduate programs of study. As part of their education, students will develop qualities of good citizenship, including an appreciation for and commitment to performing their work conscientiously; learning to recognize, respect and understand cultural diversity; and learning to recognize the implication of what they believe. Most importantly, they will acquire the skills and techniques which enable them to engage in self-learning, and spirit of intellectual curiosity leading to independent and purposeful life-long learning.
