"As a nontraditional student, I wasn’t sure if pursuing a master’s degree in Geography Education was the best use of my time and resources. What more can I learn above and beyond what I have learned over many years in the classroom? Could I find relevance? Could professors relate to me? Could I relate to them? No need to have been concerned. Although some professors are my children's age, some are my father’s age. There is a culture of respect and support among the faculty that trickles down to the students. One semester in, I am delighted with the individual support and holistic learning atmosphere of the geography department at Texas State."    Allison M. Smith
