St. Edward’s University Selects Texas Book Company

Texas Book Company proudly welcomes St. Edward’s University (SEU) in Austin, Texas into our family of college bookstores. From its commanding vantage point on a hilltop overlooking Austin, St. Edward's University is an unforgettable landmark. But for SEU students and graduates, it's the vision rather than the view that makes St. Edward's stand out. TBC’s customer-focused services are the perfect complement to St. Edward’s learning experience, which is tailored to the individual.

St. Edward's University is a private, Catholic liberal arts institution of more than 5,300 students located in one of the world's most vibrant cities, Austin, Texas. Founded in 1885 by the Rev. Edward Sorin, superior general of the Congregation of Holy Cross and the same priest who founded University of Notre Dame, the university offers a liberal arts education emphasizing critical thinking and ethical practice. Students enjoy the advantages of small classes and personal attention coupled with excellent internships and service-learning opportunities. St. Edward's University takes pride in its distinguishing characteristics: the courage to take risks, an international perspective and the commitment to provide educational opportunities for students of varied cultural, religious, education and economic backgrounds. The university’s undergraduate programs achieve a balance among the humanities, the sciences and the professions. Graduate and professional development programs prepare individuals to further their life goals and to take advantage of more challenging employment opportunities.

We are very proud to be selected as SEU’s bookstore partner as the University embarks on a very new and exciting advertising campaign, titled “Individuality,” which emphasizes critical thought and personal exploration. TBC joins SEU in celebrating the extraordinary journey on which students embark at St. Edward’s; encouraging individual expression and a commitment to achieving one’s dreams.

Plans are underway to completely remodel the SEU bookstore. The newly remodeled bookstore will honor the history of Fondren Hall and the location of the first indoor swimming pool, while at the same time create a high-energy shopping environment that will feature contemporary clothing trends, personal electronics, general and Christian reading, and new SEU emblematic spirit and gift selections.
