Bobcat alumni, students, and teachers are exceptional. Through a variety of awards, each year, the Alumni Association honors these individuals for their significant contributions to our community.
Alumni Spotlight
With our many Bobcats across Texas, the United States, and around the world, our alumni have many stories to tell. We are proud of all that our alumni have achieved and hope that their stories not only unite our Bobcat Family, but also inspire others.

Hillviews Magazine
The #WeMetAtTXST digital campaign was born of a story in Hillviews in 2021. The campaign celebrates couples that met at our university, and we share new stories every year around Valentine's Day.
We teamed up with Publishing Concepts, Inc. (PCI) to collect stories from Bobcats and preserve them in a book that celebrates the impact the Texas State has had on the lives of our alumni.
