Welcome to our SHSU Life Membership Store!

Our life memberships now number over 4,500 alumni who have chosen to give back and connect with their University on a deeper level.  As the name implies, membership is a one-time payment (or payment plan), that covers you for life, and benefits continue to expand and adapt over time.  Your gift of membership goes into the Life Member endowment, where it will continue to give back to the association in perpetuity.
