Sul Ross State University

ALPINE GENERAL INFORMATION Alpine is a Chihuahuan Desert mountain community sitting at 4,550 feet with a population hovering around 6,000 and an average year-round temperature in the low 70s. It receives approximately 14 inches of rain per year with wonderful blue skies and fabulous sunsets. The rainy season (and often the hotter part of the year) is May through July. The temperature rarely gets lower than the teens and rarely higher than the mid-90s with low humidity unlike our Texas neighbors to the east and it starts to cool off in August. The area is blessed with 21 of the 23 highest mountain peaks east of the Rockies along with some magnificent scenery. Alpine is the central community of the Big Bend with Fort Davis to the north, Marfa to the west, Presidio to the southwest, Marathon to the east and Terlingua and the Big Bend National Park to the south. We are also home to Sul Ross State University and some of the friendliest folks in the country.

SUL ROSS STATE UNIVERSITY Alpine - Main Campus East Highway 90 Alpine, Texas 79832 432-837-8011 SRSU is a small, picturesque campus that began life as Texas’ Normal College in 1917. It has a small enrollment of just over 2,000 students with attractive buildings in red brick and beige trim that was used as a location in Boyhood. The staff and professors are friendly and helpful and some are recognized as world class experts in their fields. A Planetarium and access to one of the world’s richest botanical and geological regions, gives the University’s science departments an A+. The Art, Theatre, Film & Television departments are well thought of and there is a new Motion Capture stage for the film folks. The Computer Science department offers a degree track in Gaming Technology and the Theatre Department conducts a summer stock program, Theatre of the Big Bend, at the Kokernot Lodge outdoor theatre. Lots of student enthusiasm – the Red and Gray Lobos. http://www.sulross.edu/

~FACILITIES~ If you wish to shoot at Sul Ross, it is advisable to contact the President’s office first at 432-837-8011. The person that handles the rental and use of the campus facilities is Director of the University Center and Campus Activities. They can be reached at 432-837-8191 and the office is in the University Center on the main floor. They are typically friendly West Texas folks and the fees are reasonable. https://www.sulross.edu/search/google/University%20Facilities%20Use%20Policy Meeting Rooms Morgan University Center Room 202 (seating capacity 12-18) University Center Room 210 (seating capacity 30) University Center Espino Conference Center (seating capacity 30-280) Gallego Center Room 129 Gallego Center Green Room Standard Classrooms Special Use Classrooms
