Spirit of the Roadrunner

The Spirit of the Roadrunner program recognizes students who embody the spirit of UTSA while striving for the highest levels of academic achievement, campus involvement, and community service. They demonstrate the Roadrunner Creed in their daily actions and serve as ambassadors to the university at various UTSA-sponsored events throughout the year. This program was formerly known as Mr. and Ms. UTSA.

Voting for UTSA Spirit of the Roadrunner

All Roadrunners have a chance to vote for two of the finalists during the week of Homecoming via RowdyLink. Candidates share their platforms with fellow students prior to and during the election process. Voting on RowdyLink will be from 12:00 am on Wednesday through 11:59 pm on Thursday during Homecoming week.  Results for the winner(s) will be announced on Saturday during halftime at the UTSA Football game.
