FALL 2026 | Dallas Meadows ’17, Assistant Projects Manager at The Texas Center

What brought you to Schreiner as a student, and what is one of your favorite memories from your college years?   

Kerrville has always been like a second home to me. Growing up, my parents and I visited Kerrville every year to see family, so after graduating from community college in my hometown, Schreiner just made sense to me. I found out about their Graphic design program and loved the fact that the campus is small. When people ask me why I chose SU, I always mention the recruitment brochure I received in the mail that listed a “28:1 deer to student ratio”…that actually made me say Yes to Schreiner! My favorite memories from my time as a student came from cheering and dancing at basketball games, as well as helping organize and participate in the many events hosted by my sorority, especially the dances!

What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

Nature photography and making laser cut acrylic jewelry.

What is one thing you love about working at your alma mater?

As much as I’d like to say that walking alongside the campus deer is my favorite part of the day, the truth is that my interactions with the students and staff are what I enjoy most. As the supervisor of almost a dozen student workers over the past two years, getting to see them grow into wonderfully talented young adults is a highlight of my job. And the fact that the students that were freshmen when I started working here are now Juniors…makes me even more aware of how fast time goes by!

What advice would you give today’s Schreiner students as they prepare for life after graduation?

Network! The more people you meet and connect with, the more job opportunities will present themselves. I had the privilege of joining a leadership group after moving back to Kerrville, and it has made a huge impact on my professional development. And I made some great friends too!
