UTSA Student Organizations

Participating in student organizations has many benefits.  They give members the opportunity to meet with other students who have similar interests, network with professionals in the field, meet admissions or recruiting staff from professional schools, investigate their academic and professional interests, provide community service, and develop leadership skills. 

The following pre-professional and community service student groups are registered (RSO) with the Student Activities Office (SAO).  A complete listing of all of UTSA’s RSO's can be found on the SAO website. Information on Fall 2006 meeting dates, locations, and times will be added as they are received by the University Health Professions Office from the student organizations.
