Giving to Student Affairs

“It has been said that you will earn your degree by going to class, but you complete your education by getting involved.”

Getting Involved

The Student Affairs division enhances the university's learning environment so that the outcome is to improve retention, persistence and graduation rates of our students. While classrooms touch students' minds, Student Affairs touches their hearts and souls. Student Affairs encompasses student organizations that help students remain engaged in campus life, health and counseling services, multicultural programs, campus recreation, student government, disability services and more.

Two examples of extra-curricular programs for students that help enrich their college experience and help them become involved; caring citizens who give back to their communities after graduation are Alternative Spring Break and Lead UTSA. These two programs educate students on improving themselves and their communities.

Student volunteers, who participate in an Alternative Spring Break , travel out of state to volunteer for projects such as Habitat for Humanity or Hurricane Katrina clean-up. Lead UTSA is a leadership development program that provides students opportunities to develop their leadership skills through experiential learning, peer mentoring, formal classroom study, off-campus and on-campus leadership conferences, and a distinguished lecture series.

Many additional programs for students require private funding to ensure their success. Please join us by giving gifts to help all students be a part of the UTSA community.
