Try Volunteering: Inside Texas State’s Biggest Community Service Event (Bobcat Build's Big Event)

What does 2,500 TXST students look like when they come together to give back to the community in one day?

In this episode of Try @ TXST, we try volunteering by going behind the scenes of Bobcat Build’s Big Event, Texas State University’s largest student-led community service project.

Bobcat host Nora sits down with Candace Taggart, Marketing and PR Director for Bobcat Build, to talk about what it takes to organize a massive day of service across San Marcos, how students get involved, and why this tradition has lasted over 20 years. From early morning kickoff energy (and line dancing) to meaningful moments with local residents, this episode shows the real impact of volunteering at TXST.

Whether you're looking for community service opportunities, ways to get involved on campus, or just want to see how students are making a difference in San Marcos, this one is for you.
