7. Update Your Information

Please keep in mind that your Texas State email address will soon be deactivated, so be sure to update your information to continue to receive our communications. Be sure to update your physical address as well, so you are notified when we host events near you. 

8. Become a Forever Bobcat

Forever Bobcats is a generous community of alumni, family, friends, faculty, and staff determined to make a difference in the lives of Texas State students and invest in our university’s legacy. Forever Bobcats recognizes alumni who give $1,000 or more in cumulative support to the Texas State Alumni Association. 

For new alumni who have graduated in the last five years, this cumulative amount is reduced to $500. It doesn’t matter if you donate $1 or $100, it all goes toward reaching your goal to become a Forever Bobcat.
