The UTSA Student Union serves as the focal point for events, meetings, dining, and relaxation for the UTSA community.  Students from across the University come to the UTSA Student Union to engage in unique social, recreational, cultural, and educational activities.  As the community gathering place for the campus, the UTSA Student Union is an inviting and inclusive environment where ideas are exchanged, relationships are built, and memories are made.

So whether you are meeting friends, grabbing a bite, attending an event, or running an errand at one of our many service providers, rest easy knowing you can get it all done at the UTSA Student Union.
