WELCOME to our New Administrative Assistant!

Please join us in welcoming our new Administrative Assistant, Maria Beltran-Rodriguez, to the Department of Respiratory Care.  Maria joined Texas State in 2005 with the Department of Social Work as an Administrative Assistant II.  Prior to Texas State, she was employed with Texas A&M Research and Extension Service in Uvalde, Texas for 5 years as the Extension Secretary and serving as the District Manager her last year there.  With Maria's more than 20 plus years of extensive secretarial experience, we feel very fortunate to have her with us.

 


The faculty of the Department of Respiratory Care at Texas State have a combined RC teaching experience longevity of over 103 years at Texas State alone!  Our dedicated faculty have one goal in mind.....helping our students achieve the goal of the BSRC degree and the RRT national credential.

Thank you, Nancy....

After 15 years of faithful service to the Department of Respiratory Care, Nancy Hinson left us to accept a promotion as the Senior Administrative Assistant in the University Attorney's Office at Texas State.  Nancy has certainly been "family" to us all and we will miss her.  The Dean's Office gave Nancy a farewell reception and a beautiful clock commemorating her 15 years of service.  Now we all have a friend in a VERY high place in the university!  Thanks for all you have done for us, Nancy!!
