Student leaders at Texas State University will get a boost in their leadership development thanks to the Sarah and Ross Perot, Jr. Foundation’s donation of $2 million to establish the Jack Martin Endowment for the President’s Leadership Class.
TXST President Kelly Damphousse, Ph.D., formed the Jack Martin President’s Leadership Class in 2023 with support from Martin, founder of Public Strategies Inc., one of the nation’s most successful corporate advisory firms.
Each year, the TXST Division of Student Success selects 35 applicants for the yearlong PLC. The student cohort meets weekly for workshops where they hear from distinguished speakers, explore their strengths, develop authentic leadership and learn how to lead with others.
