ASU president shares insights amid 2025 rodeo
SAN ANGELO, Texas (Concho Valley Homepage) — Angelo State University President Ronnie Hawkins Jr. joined KSAN-TV's Senora Scott for an interview to discuss the college's rodeo team and other programs during day two of the 2025 San Angelo Rodeo.
Hawkins shared that the ASU Rodeo Team was competing in Wichita Falls, Texas, as of the time of publication.
He stated that the university's rodeo team has grown since 2024 and that the college is excited to see what the program's participants can accomplish going forward.
'They've grown since last year, so we're excited about that and what the capability and promise has for the team itself,' Hawkins said.
Hawkins explained that, while the ASU Rodeo Team has grown, several of the university's other programs have grown as well. Such growth has brought new opportunities to ASU that the college hopes to explore.
'Our commercial aviation program has grown, the nursing program has grown, our cybersecurity program, all of them are growing that way, so we're excited about the opportunities,' Hawkins said.
The success of ASU's programs has led the university to create multiple new facilities to support them. The Angelo State Golf Complex recently opened, and ASU is looking to recognize the commercial aviation program and its classrooms at Mathis Field soon. On top of this, the university is making plans to open the Elta Joyce Murphey Performance Hall soon.
