History of the Roadrunner Statue

The statue's journey to UTSA began in late 2010 when several registered student organizations, including SGA and Sigma Pi Fraternity, came together to explore ways to boost school spirit among students. Their dream was to fund the commission of UTSA's first-ever roadrunner statue.

Bring Rowdy Home, a fundraising campaign inspired by students and coordinated by the UTSA Office of Annual Giving, raised more than $25,000 in one week with the generous support of UTSA students, faculty, staff, alumni and benefactors from across the country and supported the campaign to bring the statue to campus.
