Angelo State University

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Angelo State University is a public, coeducational university located in San Angelo, Texas, United States. It was founded in 1928 as San Angelo College, a junior college. In 1958, it became Angelo State College. It awarded its first baccalaureate degrees in 1967 and took on its current name in 1969. Angelo State University offers approximately 100 undergraduate programs, 21 graduate programs and 1 doctoral program. 2008 enrollment stands at about 6,300 with plans to increase to 10,000 by 2028.

History

The history of the university can be traced to 1928 when San Angelo College was established, following a municipal election held in 1926. Organized as part of the city school system, the two-year college for many years occupied a site on North Oakes Street near the commercial center of the city. The voters of Tom Green County in 1945 created a County Junior College District and elected the first board of trustees. In 1947, the first building was constructed on the present university site.

The university has experienced a rapid transition from the status of a regional junior college to that of an accredited senior institution of higher learning. Angelo State was created as Angelo State College in 1965 by an act of the 58th Session of the Texas Legislature in 1963. The transfer of authority from the Board of Trustees of the junior college to the Board of Regents, State Senior Colleges, became effective on September 1, 1965. In May 1967, the first baccalaureate degrees were awarded. The name of the institution was changed to Angelo State University in May 1969. In 1974, Angelo State became one of the first universities in the nation to offer a degree in Computer Science.

Angelo State University was designated as a member of the Texas State University System in 1975, along with Sam Houston State University, Southwest Texas State University, and Sul Ross State University, when the 64th Texas Legislature changed the name of the governing board to Board of Regents, Texas State University System. In September 1967, Dr. Lloyd Drexel Vincent became the second president of Angelo State College, succeeding Dr. Raymond M. Cavness who first held that post. Dr. Vincent served as president until his death on August 5, 1994.

Question: Does anybody know anything about San Angelo Texas?

Just asking because I just got accepted into Angelo State University and was wondering what the town was like.

It is a really neat town. My girlfriend is currently attending ASU, and I have visited her at least a half-dozen times. There are two lakes, one on the northwest side (O.C. Fisher Lake), and one on the southwest side (Lake Nasworthy). San Angelo State Park is located at OC Fisher. Nasworthy is a beautiful lake, and provides ample fishing, picknicking, jogging, etc. Around ASU campus, you'll find a variety of ma-and-pa restaurants. Knickerbocker Rd and Sherwood Way are two of the main thoroughfares in the southwest part of the city (where I've spent most of my time...near ASU campus). There are plenty of fast food restaurants. I highly recommend Rosa's Cafe, located on Southwest Blvd about a mile north of Sunset Drive. It is a good TexMex restuarant similar to Taco Cabana or Taco Bueno, but I believe it is a step above. There is a great little coffee shop at the corner of Knickerbocker Rd and Sunset Drive where students like to sip coffee (or sodas) and study. Reminds me of Central Perk from FRIENDS. The one good apartment complex that I've seen and been in is Wellington Place, located at 4110 Wellington St (off Sunset Drive near Southwest Boulevard). It is only a 10 minute drive to ASU and it is in a good neighborhood. I hope I was of good help to you. As I mentioned earlier, it's a nice-sized city that has some good sights to see. Listed below are some websites that will help you get acquainted with the city: City of San Angelo website http://www.sanangelotexas.org/ San Angelo visitor's website: http://www.sanangelo.org/ The San Angelo Standard Times is the main newspaper. It can be found online at http://www.gosanangelo.com/
