UTSA Thrive: A Strengths-Based Approach to Student Success

What does it look like when our students thrive? We’re building a student success ecosystem at UTSA where academic success is only part of the picture. When students thrive, it can have a positive ripple effect on their lives and in our community.

UTSA aspires to be a model Hispanic thriving institution where students from all backgrounds can excel. The UTSA Thrive initiative aims to enhance support and advocacy for undergraduate students ­by developing a thriving student framework that builds on students' assets and strengths.

How do we help our Roadrunners thrive? That's what we're on a mission to define and develop, through focus groups and workshops with faculty, staff and students.

Spring 2024 information is coming soon!
