There are over 300,000 college students that attend school within the Episcopal Diocese of West Texas! It is amazing what happens when college students gather to ask honest questions of scripture, earnestly follow Jesus, and share life with each other. We hope you will join us to further this vision of God’s kingdom breaking through on college campuses.
The Diocese of West Texas is committed to creating and sustaining relationships with students who are attending institutions of higher education inside and outside its borders.

Tami completed her undergraduate degree from the University of Texas, Austin and earned a master's degree at Our Lady of the Lake University, San Antonio. Tami shares, “Being involved in campus ministry at UT Austin was extremely formative for me, and I am so excited to get to explore new ways of doing ministry that will be just as meaningful to students today."
Walt is a native son of San Antonio, baptized and confirmed at St. David’s Church. In high school, he attended the McCallie School in Chattanooga, TN. serving as an active member of its student vestry. In 2021, he graduated from the University of Virginia with a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Science with a Public Policy minor. Walt shares, “Nourishing me both spiritually and emotionally, the support I received in college from the people of St. Paul’s, Charlottesville kept me grounded even in the most chaotic of times. I would like every student in our Diocese to have a place like that.”
