Graduation is a special time in the lives of friends, families and certainly the graduates. But this summer, graduation was extra special for Dr. Kelly Damphousse. On Saturday, the 10th President of Texas State University delivered his first commencement at the University to the class of 2022.
“It’s always a great day to be a Bobcat. It’s especially so today as we take this time to celebrate you,” Damphousse told the soon to be graduates during the first of three ceremonies on Saturday. “Over the years, I’ve had the honor of speaking and many commencement exercises, and they’re all very special to me. But because this is my first Texas State graduation is what is even more special. You will always be my first and I’m honored to share this moment with you.”
Texas State University said more than 1,400 candidates for bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees were expected to participate in its three commencement ceremonies on Saturday.
