UTSA launches Westside Community Partnerships initiative
The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) today announced a Westside Community Partnerships Initiative to help it shape educational, economic and cultural programs and services for individuals living and working in Westside zip codes, including 78207, 78237, 78226, 78228, 78201, 78227, 78236 and 78204.
The initiative aligns with UTSA’s 10-year campus master plan process that establishes a framework for the development of academic, research and community outreach programs to serve San Antonio’s growing population. By creating a forum to encourage ongoing university-community dialogue, the Westside Community Partnerships Initiative will help ensure that those programs and services are shaped in a way that addresses the unique needs of the community.
“As an urban serving university, UTSA is committed to deepening our relationships with all areas of San Antonio – particularly those that have been historically underserved. We’re starting with a focus on the Westside in light of its proximity to our Downtown Campus,” said UTSA President Taylor Eighmy.
