Our first-ever Staff Council Homecoming Booth was a huge success and it’s all thanks to YOU, Lion family! 🦁💫

We raised over $475 in merchandise sales, with every dollar going right back into Staff Council initiatives that support and celebrate our incredible staff. 🙌

A special shout-out to Josiah Castro in East Texas A&M Lion Athletics for partnering with us and helping make this collaboration such a win! Thank you for helping bring our vision to life! 🏈✨

Our new exclusive Staff Council apparel, featuring a design with seven stars each representing a historic chapter in our university’s name. The story behind the stars sparked so many great conversations (and extra sales, too!) as the community connected with the meaning behind the design.

🧢 The hats were an absolute hit, and we heard your feedback...polos and kids’ apparel are officially in the works!

We also launched our new Staff Council Marketplace storefront, making it easier than ever to purchase merchandise, with items kept right on-site for convenient pickup!
