The University of Texas at San Antonio Department of Intercollegiate Athletics today launched Bold Champions: A New Era for UTSA Athletics, a $70 million capital campaign to transform San Antonio into a destination for the nation’s most competitive Division I student-athletes.
This year, our football team has given us much to celebrate. For the first time in our university’s history, our team earned national rankings and won the Conference USA Championship — tremendous accomplishments and historic markers for our Division I athletics program and university.
We are excited to share another historic moment for The University of Texas at San Antonio. University supporters Margie and Bill Klesse have committed a transformational $20 million gift to the College of Engineering and Integrated Design, creating new endowments for scholarships, opportunities for faculty and programs to promote student success.
As you know, Omicron—the latest COVID-19 variant—is currently spreading across the country and the first cases are now being reported in Texas. Based on the latest information, it is still too soon to tell how Omicron compares to other variants in terms of transmissibility and infectiousness.
It is with great pride and excitement that I share UTSA is now recognized as a Carnegie R1 university, the nation’s most prestigious research designation.
The recent surge in COVID-19 cases due to the omicron variant amplifies the need to ensure we continue to keep our Roadrunner community safe.
