| | The Bobcat Bucket List: 100 Texas State Staples
In no particular order, here’s the first ever Bobcat Bucket List! These are the quintessential experiences every Texas State student, alumnus/a, and faculty member should try at least once. The book is now available on Amazon! Written by Rose Bythrow and Bill Poston '88, proceeds benefit The Stelos Alliance. The Stelos Alliance was created to provide opportunities for extraordinary students at Texas State University. Over the years, it’s grown to include scholarships for students around the country. Every dollar donated to student scholarships is a dollar in the pocket of an extraordinary young leader. |

| | | Texas State University announces it will not sell University Camp
After receiving feedback regarding the proposed sale of University Camp, TXST announced today it will not sell the property. “I appreciate those who took the time to share feedback regarding the possible sale of University Camp,” said TXST President Kelly Damphousse. “Their input made it clear that University Camp continues to be a valuable asset for our TXST alumni, employees, students, and community members. For that reason, I have decided that so long as I am president at TXST, the property will not be sold. I look forward to watching our Bobcat Family continue to use University Camp for research, recreation, and leadership training in the years to come.”
