A Look Back at Maroon March 2025!

Our campus community brought the Maroon and Gold spirit to life during Maroon March Week. Students wore maroon or gold all week long and enjoyed exclusive giveaways along the way. The celebration wrapped up with a Friday block party on Jesse Rogers Promenade, featuring music, fun, and photos with everyone’s favorite Mustang, Maverick.

A Look Back at Maroon March 2024...

Maverick T. Mustang and his posse roamed the MSU Texas campus during March looking for spirited departments, offices, organizations and proud Mustangs who exhibited our core values: People-Centered, Community, Integrity, Visionary, and Connection. Maverick and team also spread a little maroon and gold spirit with a series of pop-up events throughout the month!
