UTSA participates in Recyclemania 2009 contestUTSA has begun the countdown for Recyclemania -- the nationwide college and university recycling competition. As in years past, UTSA will be up against some of the largest schools in the nation as well as many Texas universities.

Advancement Services relocates to University HeightsThe Office of Advancement Services relocated this week to University Heights Suite 400. This move will result in a new procedure. All gift payments (checks, credit card or cash) received by colleges or departments now must be delivered to the Office of the Vice President for University Advancement (VPUA) in Main Building Room 4.104, 1604 Campus. To ensure that all gifts delivered to VPUA are properly accounted for, use the "Gift Transmittal List" form to record gifts delivered to the VPUA office. Be assured that gifts will continue to be processed promptly. Gift Services will make daily gift deposits at Fiscal Services, 1604 Campus, as well as pick up all gifts delivered to the VPUA office. Downtown Campus offices receiving gifts should route them to any college development officer. Note that the "Gift Transmittal List" form does not replace the "Gift Processing" form that must accompany each gift. The "Gift Transmittal List" form is important and serves as the delivery receipt, as well as assisting in tracking gifts from each office to Gift Services. The "Gift Processing" form, "Gift Transmittal List" form and "Non-cash (Gift-In-Kind) Donation" form can be found in Outlook Public folders/UTSA forms/Development Office. More information: Office of Advancement Services, 458-4130
