"The main thing was kind of that juxtaposition between that feeling of isolation and that feeling of being alone that everyone seems to enjoy and encompass, whatever they write or draw, and the balance of that, in turn, becoming a shared experience amongst all of them. Like the moment when you’re thinking you’re the most alone you’ve ever been, you’re actually sharing something with hundreds of thousands of people before you, and hundreds and thousands of people after you.”

-Victoria Contreras, Archives of the Big Bend, on Episode #917 of The Atlas Obscura Podcast, "The Sul Ross Desk"

Sul Ross State University students from left Kimberly Lara (Alpine, Nursing), Kylie Garcia (Alpine, Nursing) and Aneesa Payne (Alpine, Criminal Justice) each received a $1,000 grant from the Bechtel Foundation this week. Not pictured are Karla Ramos (Fort Davis, Psychology) and Kendra Saenz (Marfa, Nursing).

The Bechtel Fund was created by George Bechtel of Alpine in 1994 to help SRSU students from the tri-county area purchase textbooks. With the digitization and lowered cost of textbooks, the mission has shifted to direct educational grants for those who meet the requirements, including graduation from a tri-county high school, full-time undergraduate enrollment, the accumulation of 24 credit, a GPA of 3.0, and good standing with the university.

Bechtel Board members include President John Ferguson, Presidio: Vice President/Treasurer Matt Walter, Alpine; Kathy Moreno (SRSU); Caroline Fox (Alpine ISD) and Bianca Gonzales (Marfa ISD).
