On May 10, the citizens of Bexar County will vote on the extension of the “Visitors Tax”, a hotel occupancy tax and car rental tax that will be used to pay for projects around the community intended to increase tourism.

If approved by voters, a portion of these proceeds - $15 million - will be allocated to UTSA for a proposed athletics complex. This complex is an important component in the growth of the UTSA Athletics program and the university in general. Read more in UTSA Today.

  Want to leave your mark at UTSA?
The Office of Alumni Programs and the University Center are teaming up to give alumni, graduating seniors, faculty, staff and friends of UTSA the opportunity to do just that with the UTSA Brick and Bench Campaign.

The engraved bricks and dedicated benches will be located on the UC Paseo between the existing University Center and the new expansion that will open in August. For a limited time, bricks are being offered for $100 each, installed in time for the start of the 2008–2009 academic year. After that, bricks will be sold for $150.

Proceeds from Brick and Bench sales will be used to fund a leadership scholarship and various UC activities, including a film series, poetry slams, concerts and comedy shows. For more information on purchasing a brick, call (210) 458-4133.


"START SPREADING THE NEWS ..."

Another great travel opportunity for alumni and friends is the New York City Holiday Tour, round trip from San Antonio, leaving on December 1 and returning December 5. Travelers stay at the Sheraton New York, and will enjoy a Broadway show, Greenwich Village, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall, Statue of Liberty, and Ellis Island. Five meals are included, one at the famous Tavern on the Green in Central Park.

Don’t miss the travel interest meeting on Wednesday, May 20, at 6 pm in the University Center, Magnolia Room.  Details and reservation.

CONGRATULATIONS, LADY ROADRUNNERS!
