Meet our Morkie, Finley. She’s excited for our students who are getting their Sam Houston State University class rings in two ceremonies today. Bet there will be some picture taking in the new Jim P. Ferris Family ring Plaza. Celebration Day!

It was super fun to celebrate SHSU’s best in the country Orange Pride Dance Team. Coming back from nationals as double Grand Champions is an incredible achievement! 👏🏻

Met the @SamHoustonState ROTC cadets & cadre this morning to watch their PT session & finish #SamSwitch commitments. I enjoyed spending time with these great leaders. #PresidentKalebBrown

Elliott (Grump) and I (Gigi) got to see our precious grandsons before the banking hall of fame event this week. So blessed to have them in town!

Tonight’s all-choir concert was a wonderful mix of voices & styles. Cool to see so many music faculty supporting their colleagues and students cheering on their friends. I’ve watched some of these students perform for 4 years & will be honored to see them at commencement!

Only a few more hours left to participate in Giving Day. Invest in our students, strengthen our programs and help us shape the future of SHSU. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a meaningful impact. Visit givingday.shsu.edu. #SHSUGivingDay #SHSUGiving

Giving Day is here, and I’m reminded of the incredible difference our community can make when we come together. Your support directly impacts our students and helps us continue building something truly special. Donate today at givingday.shsu.edu.

Another great night of entertainment at SHSU. Opera made accessible left the audience laughing and applauding wonderful comedic performances and exhilarating vocals. So fun!

Today we gathered for Raven’s Call to honor and celebrate the lives of students, current and retired faculty and staff, and alumni who are gone but not forgotten. Once a Bearkat, always a Bearkat.

SHSU wind ensemble gave a brilliant performance tonight. Several instrumental and vocal performances to go this semester, and I encourage the community to give them a try!

It was an honor to celebrate the Williams Stone Endowment yesterday. This scholarship will support both student-athletes and education majors — two groups who lead, inspire, and shape the future in powerful ways. Excited to see the impact these students will make.

Budget hearings may not be the most exciting things we do, but they go a long way to facilitate transparency and understanding of university finances and strategies employed to allocate resources. Thanks to all presenters & audience members.

Great crowd to watch the Bearkats at Don Sanders Stadium. Watching a competitive game in perfect weather after a fun SHSU alumni association crawfish boil tailgate!

Elliott and I enjoyed hosting the @shsu_Orangekeys this evening. Good conversation, a little fun, and time to connect. Grateful for opportunities to build relationships with our students.

Working with SGA leadership is always a treat, and our “Ask the Presidents” event is a fave. Thanks President Lily Temple‑Dozier and Vice President Je’hmory Coleman.

@RonnySnow68 I’m very sorry to hear about the loss of your dads, Ronny. May their memories be a blessing.

@SHSUPresWhite My sincere condolences on your loss. Angelia and I both lost our dads over the last 60 days. 🙏🙏

Thank you to all who reached out to comfort our family after the passing of my dad, Dr. Robert White. Your kindness made a difference. We are comforted by his memory and the knowledge that we were fortunate to have him. #Cherished

Today, senior Bearkat Kaleb Brown took my place as University President, and I had a chance to attend one of his Executive ROTC Board meetings in his role as Battalion Commander. ROTC students lead with confidence!

One of my favorite traditions at Sam Houston is showcasing student artwork in the Smith-Lenamon House. This year, we are proud to feature At Grandma’s by Chelsea McClelland. Congratulations, Chelsea.
