Texas State Graduates Jump into San Marcos River After Commencement

Hundreds of Texas State University graduates celebrated their commencement by jumping into the San Marcos River, continuing a beloved campus tradition. Students gathered in Sewell Park, many still wearing caps, gowns, and cords as friends and family watched them jump in the river. The tradition has become a signature moment for graduates celebrating the end of their time at Texas State. A record 5,200 students graduated from the university, surpassing the previous record set in 2019. Texas State held eight commencement ceremonies Thursday through Saturday.
