Faculty Senate Chairs

Dr. Barbara A. Melzer (1950 – 2013), 54th Faculty Senate chair, good friend and valued colleague.  During her many years of teaching, scholarship and service at Texas State University, Barbara gained the respect and affection of colleagues and students alike through her consummate professionalism, her encouraging presence, her sense of humor, and her caring thoughtfulness.

The Faculty Senate is grateful for having had the privilege of working closely with Barbara and knows that the entire university benefited greatly from Barbara’s enormous grace, generosity, and unfailing dedication to service.
