About Us

Our mission is to support UTSA by enhancing public and governmental support necessary for operating our five campuses. Our job is to communicate all of UTSA's needs and priorities with our elected officials and government agencies at the City, County, State and Federal levels. In addition, we serve as the President's liaison in the community with Chambers of Commerce, businesses and other external stakeholders.

We work closely with the Office of Governmental Relations at UT System in Austin and with UT System's Office of Federal Relations in Washington D.C.
