125 Years of TXST

Texas State University's 125th Anniversary

From the beginning, creating a better tomorrow has been our mission. Through the decades, we’ve expanded our mission, developed new programs, and broken new ground. Today, we’ve grown in ways our founders could never have imagined, and we’re endlessly proud of what our Bobcat family has achieved. As we look to the future, we know the work we do today will shape what is next. Join us in celebrating 125 years of TXST.
