Hi! My name is Kayla Gregory, and I am a junior here at Texas State. I was raised in the San Jose, California, where I first was exposed to creative arts such as music and dancing, which still remain a big part of my life today.

Jordan D Hays

My love and passion for Texas State University shine when TEXAS STATE Alpha Delta Pi is written across my chest, when I'm on the mat representing the Bobcats, and when I am asked what school I attend. Being a leader at this school has surrounded me by people with such different backgrounds than mine, and that has allowed me to experience college better than I could at any other school. Fun fact: I could tell you a million facts about Texas State University, but my smile when I talk about my school, my organizations, and my friends, is what really says it all. It's a great day to be a bobcat!

Essence A Patterson

When I moved from Germany to Texas, I never thought I’d be able to find another place to call home. Being a military child, you become so accustomed to change, you rarely find that one thing that truly solidifies who you are...but Texas State is different. Being here has given me opportunities I know I wouldn’t be able to find anywhere else, friends I never imagined existed, and a chance at education so many people yearn for. Texas State has not only helped me discover who I am as a person, but what the definition of "home" is also.

Jesus G Rangel

I am very involved with the Texas State and San Marcos community. I work with the office of admissions and sit as a Board of Director for the Alumni Association.

I am extremely honored to be nominated for Homecoming Gallardian. I have a deep love for this university and all the people that call San Marcos home. I am proud to be a Bobcat.

Reagan E Wilkinson

You can always find her either studying for the next bio test, volunteering at her favorite places (AWARE and PAWs-Kyle), or playing Quidditch with her favorite people. Reagan has been a dedicated member to the organization since she joined 2 years ago as well as a fierce competitor on the TXST varsity Quidditch team. She somehow manages to perfectly balance her passion for quidditch and drive in school, while still giving her free time to community service. Everyone in the organization knows she's a role model for all hard working, quidditch playing bobcats.
