The University of Texas at San Antonio (UT San Antonio) announced today that Be Bold: A Campaign for Our Future has achieved a final total of $575 million raised, culminating with a $5 million closing gift from the Malú and Carlos Alvarez Family.
The gift, announced at a campaign celebration dinner on Oct. 2, will establish the Carlos Alvarez Distinguished Presidential Chair, an endowment to support UT San Antonio’s highest level of leadership and ensure strong university governance for decades to come.
“Carlos Alvarez was one of the most generous and influential philanthropic champions in the history of our university,” said UT San Antonio President Taylor Eighmy. “With this presidential chair, the Alvarez family is not only extending his legacy of visionary leadership but also paving a pathway of success that will sustain and strengthen the institution he believed in so deeply. We are deeply grateful to Malú and the entire Alvarez family for choosing to close the campaign in such a powerful and purposeful way. I am deeply honored to be the first recipient.”
Launched in 2017, the Be Bold campaign is the largest fundraising initiative in the history of UT San Antonio’s legacy institution, UTSA. Designed to accelerate student success, advance research excellence and expand community impact, the campaign surpassed its $500 million goal two years ahead of its original timeline.
