    Each academic year, my university [Texas State University] hosts four "Bobcat Day" - two in the Fall and two in the Spring semesters. This is Experience is a large-scale excitement about Texas State's premier open house event. Spend a day on our San Marcos campus and let us show you what makes Texas State so special! For more information, see: https://www.admissions.txst.edu/visit/events/bobcat-day.html

    This past Saturday, October 25, I had the opportunity alongside five of our Texas State University Medical Laboratory Science Program to meet with MANY Texas high school students, early TXST university students, and other transfer students. We had an amazing time discussing our MLS major AND our new Laboratory Science Minor, as well as the overall medical laboratory profession!

    If you have a student interested in our MLS Program or in other TXST University majors and opportunities, please come check one out!

    Check out our great photos from the day!
