TXST receives $1 million donation for new School of Music building

Texas State University announced it received a $1 million donation to help fund the construction of a new School of Music building on its San Marcos campus. 

Sisters Shannon FitzPatrick, of San Marcos, and Kathleen FitzPatrick, of Georgetown, contributed the donation. Texas State said the $1 million contribution moves the university closer toward its goal of constructing a new music building that reflects the national reputation of its students and faculty in conjunction with its $250 million NEXT IS NOW capital campaign.

Texas State University President Dr. Denise Trauth said through decades the FitzPatrick family has generously supported the university not only through monetary contributions but with their talents and service.
