Events

We host an annual African-American Alumni Reunion in conjunction with Homecoming each year. The 2016 reunion featured a welcome mixer, campus tours, alumni tailgating, and a farewell brunch. With over 75 participants, we posted our fourth consecutive year of raising over $500 for the Earl Moseley, Jr. Memorial Scholarship. Learn more about our annual Homecoming Reunion.

Scholarships

We actively fundraise for the Earl Moseley, Jr. Memorial Scholarship in efforts to make it a permanent endowed scholarship fund at Texas State University.  In 2016, the scholarship hit the $25,000 goal to reach endowment status so that funds are protected in perpetuity.  The Earl Moseley Memorial Scholarship is named in memory of Earl Lee Moseley, Jr., a Southwestern University graduate, who arrived at Texas State (then Southwest Texas State) in 1985. While at Texas State, Earl worked as a Hall Director, Assistant Director for Multicultural Student Affairs (MSA), Development Officer for University Advancement and at the time of his death Coordinator of Campus Activities.  In addition, he was a member and advisor to Pi Kappa Alpha, advisor to the Student Organization Council (SOC), Student Association for Campus Activities (SACA) and FOCUSED.  He was a dedicated member of the Coalition of Black Faculty and Staff, Staff Council, and Homecoming Steering Committee, among other roles at Texas State.  During his tenure, he mentored a great number of students and was instrumental in their development into successful leaders.  Donate to the Earl Moseley, Jr. Memorial Scholarship now.
