Welcome Family Members!
So what is the UTSA Family Association?
The University of Texas at San Antonio Family Association aims to provide communication between the University and family members of our students in order to increase student success, facilitate positive University relations, and promote a suitable role for family members within the university community.
The association will assist new families in getting acclimated to UTSA by developing social events and periodic newsletters which are designed to enhance the communication between parents and students.
