AUGUST 19, 2025 — When students walk across the stage to accept their diplomas from UTSA, they take with them a degree — plus the caliber of knowledge, skill, confidence and professionalism required for life beyond the classroom.
It’s a transformation that looks different for every student but often begins with an advisor, a program or an experiential learning opportunity made possible through generous donations of time and funding.
