March 2020 marked the beginning of a challenging and unprecedented chapter—for UTSA and for us all. Over the last year and a half, you have dedicated so much effort to ensure the Roadrunner experience for the benefit of all our students. Your many contributions and your attention to the health and safety of our campus community are the cornerstone of our continued success.
We have been very intentional about our trajectory as a university, especially around our deep commitment to become an exemplary institution for our current and future students, our faculty and staff, our alumni and our community.
Since the very beginning of the pandemic, we committed to put the health and safety of our entire campus community first. Over the last year and half, we have learned a lot about managing life under the pandemic and the importance of masking, personal hygiene, vaccinations, contact tracing and quarantining. Our approach to planning for the fall semester involved balancing an open campus with a mix of course and work modalities to optimize learning, teaching and research while keeping our community healthy.
The first day of the semester is always exciting. While we have some temporary adjustments in place for the beginning of our school year, I hope you are eager for a fresh start this semester and looking forward to the many traditional UTSA experiences we all know and love!
