Meet Matthew Winn

My mission is providing exceptional support to faculty within the College of Fine Arts & Communication so that they can gain funding to accomplish their research goals. Have a great idea for a research and/or creative project? Give me a call or set up a time to meet with me. I’ll help you develop your creative idea into a fundable and achievable project with a significant impact.

Here’s a little bit about me: Raised in South Central Texas, I graduated with my MA and BA from Texas State University’s nationally recognized Communication Studies program, with a focus in organizational rhetoric and training & development. I have over four years of experience as a Pre-Award Research coordinator and several years of TXST experience as a team leader, persuasive writer, workshop facilitator, trainer, teacher, and researcher that provide me with a unique set of skills to help faculty and students pursue and obtain significant funding opportunities for their impactful ideas.  My specialties include: audience analysis, idea development, persuasive writing, relationship building and maintenance, effective facilitation and collaboration, and streamlining processes.

Want to get started? Contact me at mwinn@txstate.edu or 512.408.2727.

Meet Meredith Williams 

I graduated from Texas State University in 2005 with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Management. As a student at Texas State University, I was employed with both the University College and the University Seminar Offices. In 2007 I was hired by the Department of Communication Studies as an Administrative Assistant and remained there until joining the College of Liberal Arts staff as a Post-Award Research Coordinator in 2014. I am excited to be able to use my several years of experience as a TXST Post-Award Research Coordinator to now help all of the fantastic faculty within the College of Fine Arts and Communication.
