Student Profile: Austin Barber
Meet Austin Barber, the 2022 recipient of the Thomas Raffen Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship is awarded yearly in memory of the late Thomas Raffen, a dedicated student and community leader at Texas State.
Austin is majoring in Accounting and has multiple routes he could take after graduation. He’s torn between working for an oil and gas company or for something outdoorsy such as the Parks Service. Either way, he hopes to use his accounting degree to help his community and coworkers.
“A leader is someone who’s decisive. They know what they want, and they’re willing to make stuff happen.”
Austin Barber and Bobby Poston
