(April 10, 2015) -- One hundred-sixty-nine students were recently selected to be a part of Who’s Who at UTSA for the 2014-2015 academic year. The annual recognition, sponsored by the vice president for student affairs and coordinated by the Special Events Center, honors students who have demonstrated outstanding accomplishments in scholarship, leadership and service to their university and local communities.

Since 2003, UTSA has honored its outstanding students with the Who’s Who at UTSA recognition. More than 400 applications are submitted each year. Many of these students go on to receive recognition by the national Who’s Who Among Students in Universities and College program, which, since 1934, has honored upper-level university students from across the U.S. More than 2,300 colleges and universities participate in the program each year.

For 2014-2015, UTSA honored 19 sophomores as Who’s Who at UTSA. One hundred and fifty juniors, seniors and graduate students were recognized as both Who’s Who at UTSA and Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. Vice President for Student Affairs Samuel Gonzales presented the students with a special certificate at the annual awards dinner in March.

In order to be eligible to apply for the Who’s Who at UTSA recognition, undergraduate students must have a minimum 2.0 cumulative G.P.A. and graduate students must have a minimum 3.0 cumulative G.P.A.
