around the institutions that have the largest number of alumni
in Seguin:

financial aid, extended learning courses, sports, academics,
alumni, cultural events, etc., can find it. There is a list of
e-mail addresses and web page addresses of alumni; there is a
calendar with all the concerts and cultural events, as well as
sports events. The site has a link to the U. S. News and World
report that ranks the colleges and universities. TLU is ranked
exceptionally high. Past press releases are also available.
The University of Texas at Austin has a web site at http://www.utexas.edu/
This site is so full of information, that it even has a directory
of U.S. universities; you can access their web pages directly.
From the main page, you can choose topics that interest you,
from 58 options. If you choose the "news" option to
keep up with events at UT-Austin, you can access the online edition
of The Daily Texan, called The Web Texan at: http://stumedia.tsp.utexas.edu/webtexan/
This newspaper has links to news sources such as the AP (Associated
Press), which provides news updated 24 hours a day.
Texas A&M University at Bryan-College Station has a web site
at http://www.tamu.edu The site is impressive, massive and
comprehensive. A very artistic main page is what you see at first.
From many options, any topic you choose branches out into numerous
choices. Whatever you need to know about this university, and
much more, you will find it at this site. The daily newspaper
Aggie Daily has online news with even a Spanish section. If you
ever need specialized research information, the library section
contains links to very specialized sites in many career fields.
Southwest Texas State University has a web site at http://www.swt.edu
Using the alphabetical index of topics in the site, you can find what interests you about the academic divisions, student services, alumni, electronic publications, etc. There are links to library web sites all over the world, which can be accessed from http://www.library.swt.edu/alkek_lib/web/lib_webs.html
Among the many offerings, the site makes available links to national
computer societies and other professional organizations all over
the world, at http://www.computer.org/misc/otherwww.htm
To keep up with the news of your alma mater, from http://www.seguin.net
you can access a site that links with newspapers published by
colleges and universities around the world, these are part of
the 3,500 online newspapers from around the world. Also available
is information for research papers or homework assignments, from
a link to a site that offers 17,000 study links classified by
level and subject, from kindergarten to college.
The future college students are still in the school system. From the web site of the Education Service Center, Region XIII, you can access the K-12 web pages of the school districts in the area.

The Seguin ISD home page is found at http://seguin.isd.tenet.edu/
Although under construction for now, the site will link to the
web pages of each of the numerous campus in the system. The site
features a large graphic of a "Mighty Matador."
The Marion ISD home page is found at

Recognition of exemplary student achievement is their first priority,
and therefore, the page features the names of achievers of academic
excellence.
The Navarro ISD home page is found at

It displays an artistic graphic of Panther school spirit. "GO
PANTHERS!!" is the first thing you read.
In this back-to-school season, it is my hope that you will let the mouse do the walking, and enjoy visiting these sites, as much as I have.
