TXST is proud to recognize the members of the President's Associates, a distinguished group of donors whose generosity fuels the university's mission and empowers Bobcats to achieve their dreams.​

Under the leadership of President Kelly Damphousse, the President's Associates provide critical funding that addresses the university's most pressing priorities. Their contributions enable swift responses to emerging needs and opportunities, ensuring that Texas State continues to thrive and uphold its commitment to excellence.

Members at the Standard and Distinguished levels have the option to designate half of their gift to a college excellence fund. This flexibility empowers deans to promptly address specific student and program needs within their respective colleges, enhancing the educational experience across disciplines.  

The collective impact of the President's Associates is evident in the recent fundraising achievements. With 86 donors surpassing the initial goal of 50, contributions have totaled over $340,000, reflecting the community's dedication to advancing Texas State's noble mission.
