This year’s philanthropic competition will include collecting school supply items for Teacher’s Reuse.
To celebrate the 125th anniversary and recognize Texas State University’s beginnings as a teacher’s college, student organizations are encouraged to participate in a school supply drive. Donations will go to Teachers Reuse, a local nonprofit that provides teacher and student supplies to teachers from K-12 school around the Hays County region.
How to participate:
Student organizations can gain points for their donations by dropping them off at Student Involvement & Engagement and at various homecoming events.
Deadline for donation drop-off:
Thursday, November 14, 2024

Competition Guidelines:
Each item will be credited towards the organization’s point total.
- The list of items that are acceptable are at the end of the competition packet or can be picked up at the Student Involvement and Engagement desk.
- Items not on the list will not be accepted.
Donation bins locations:
Student organizations will be able to drop off their items at the designated drop-off bins staffed by members of the Leadership and Service team.
