AUGUST 28, 2023 — August brings new opportunities and pathways to discovery, with Roadrunner Days marking the beginning of the fall semester. The semi-annual celebration immerses new and returning students in the culture, traditions and values of UTSA.
Roadrunner Days, which kicks off the fall and spring semesters, features a full line-up of events, seminars and socials to help students develop a sense of belonging at the university, encourage them to meet new people and introduce them to university resources that will help them succeed on campus and in the classroom. The first week of events—which were designed to connect students with other students—concludes on Sunday, August 27.
The emphasis of week two, which begins today, and continues through Saturday, September 2, will be on integrating new and returning students into the extensive network of resources, services, and opportunities that UTSA offers. Beyond the festivities, the heart of the celebration lies in acquainting students with the people and services that will ensure their holistic development and academic triumph.
Key events include:
LT Robinson, senior vice provost of student affairs and dean of students, said, “The second week of Roadrunner Days welcome events that offer UTSA students a chance to explore academic support resources and services in their academic colleges to prepare them for success, while building on the campus connections from the first week. We hope every Roadrunner is able to join in the celebration.”
