Young Alumni Rising Star

The Young Alumni Rising Star Award was created in 2015 by the Alumni Association Board of Directors.  The award honors Texas State alumni who are under the age of 40.  Recipients of this award will demonstrate a level of excellence which positively represents the University, and serves to inspire current students and other recent graduates, to excel in their work and recognize the important impact of their experience as a student at Texas State.  Learn more about the inaugural class of Young Alumni Rising Star award recipients by reading their in-depth bios.
