About Us

Gold Star Society was originally founded as Student Foundation by the Dean of Students in 1978. The organization's charge was to encourage student leaders to be involved in campus, the community, and alumni activities, to promote the general welfare of the university, to assist the University President and other administration, and build tradition, spirit, and respectability for Texas State University.

Gold Star Society now serves as Texas State's presidential ambassador organization. Consistent with its original history and purpose, its members serve as official student representatives on behalf of the university and the University President at a variety of campus and community functions. Gold Star Society members showcase the excellence of Texas State and are role models of professionalism, hospitality, character, and Bobcat pride. Gold Star Society is a prestigious organization that provides opportunities for leadership development, meaningful campus involvement, and networking with university leadership, alumni, and other partners.

Gold Star Society's values are: Legatus (Ambassador), Ducis (Leader), Fides (Loyal)
