All milestones are to be noted, but some landmarks call for special celebration. One of those is the attainment of one hundred years.

Stephen F. Austin State Teacher’s College—now Stephen F. Austin State University—opened its doors to students in September 1923 and to commemorate that beginning the new volume, 100 Years, 100 Lumberjacks will honor one hundred of the most notable and prominent people who have called the Nacogdoches campus home.

Some of the featured Lumberjacks are the co-discoverer of plutonium William Kennedy, former women’s Olympic basketball team coach Sue Gunter, award-winning actor Brad Maule, and Academy and Grammy award recipient composer Will Jennings.
