Strategic Plan Midpoint Update (Fall 2022)

In November 2019, the 21st Century Learning Environments Task Group, chaired by Heather Shipley, Senior Vice Provost of Academic Affairs and Dean of University College, submitted its final report containing recommendations to help foster healthy and inclusive learning environments in UTSA’s classrooms—an effort which is central to our mission of academic excellence and student success. UTSA is currently working to implement the Task Group’s recommendation in the areas of (1) curricular integration, (2) co-curricular integration, and (3) training, process creation and improvements.
