Foundations of Excellence

Student Foundation (now Gold Star Society) hosted their first annual Foundations of Excellence ceremony on April 14, 2005 in the LBJ Student Center at Texas State University. The purpose of this program has been to allow the organization to honor faculty and staff who had made a significant impact on their lives while students at Texas State. Honorees from previous Foundations of Excellence events can be found on our Former Honorees page.
