UTSA co-hosts 'Latino/Latina Genius' events Oct. 4-6

UTSA will co-sponsor "Latino/Latina Genius: Locos, Dreamers and Visionaries," an Oct. 4-6 gathering of San Antonio area recipients of grants from the renowned John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. Drawing on the diverse backgrounds and talents of local MacArthur grant recipients and local community leaders, the visionaries will cast their imaginations 10 years into San Antonio's future in search of a vision to fundamentally improve the state of human affairs.

An opening ceremony for the series of special presentations is 6 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 4 in the Buena Vista Street Building Aula Canaria (1.326) followed by a reception in the Buena Vista Street Building Assembly Room (1.338) at the UTSA Downtown Campus. The events are free and open to the public.

Autodesk CAD software license fee increases

The UTSA Office of Information Technology (OIT) has increased the license fee for Autodesk computer-aided design (CAD) software. In fiscal year 2006-2007, the UTSA site license fee increased to $30,045; divided by the number of UTSA users it would be a $313 cost per license. Autodesk users at UTSA were charged only $200 per license. Instead of passing along the total cost of the increase, OIT instituted a graduated fee increase. This fiscal year, each Autodesk user will be charged $250 per license. Next year, it will be increased to $300. OIT will cover the difference between the actual cost of the software and the license fee charged.
