The Way We Were
Published since fall 1984, Sombrilla Magazine is a university tradition in its own right. We’ve chronicled UTSA’s milestones, collective spirit and physical growth in an effort to bring the entire university family the best and most interesting stories of campus life and academics.
In fact, a self-reflective nod to our 30th anniversary was the inspiration for this Traditions & Icons issue. The editor summed up in the first issue in 1984, “We’re excited about Sombrilla and know you will be too.” For us, that still holds true today, and we hope it does for you as well.
These covers from our archives show how the magazine has evolved over the years. And if you want to see more of Sombrilla Magazine’s coverage of UTSA, check out our online archive. It continues to grow as we add back issues in digital formats.
