On Monday, thousands of students at Texas State University loaded up their backpacks and returned to class. They were not alone as fellow students, including the cohort of freshmen of the Class of 2027, were seen at the University of Texas at Austin, UTSA and other colleges across the region. For TXST, the next few weeks will be exciting as the San Marcos Area Chamber of Commerce is promoting a Back the Bobcats series of events and competitions leading up to Spirit Week Sept. 10-16.
