Our Crowdfunding Groups
UTSA cultivates an environment of dialogue and discovery, where integrity, excellence, inclusiveness, respect, collaboration and innovation are fostered. To best support our Black student community, UTSA’s Men of Honor, Women of Honor, Black Student Union and UTSA NAACP and Black Faculty & Staff Association, are launching this crowdfunding project to provide resources and opportunities for students that will promote cultural awareness and pride, as well as enhance students’ academic success.
With your gift, you will assist students in their educational goals, inspire opportunities to strengthen a positive racial climate on our campus, and nurture even stronger relationships between Black faculty & staff, students, UTSA Alumni and the greater community.
Funds will support programming for Black students through the establishment of a Black Student Leadership Council, under the direction of the Black Faculty & Staff Association. Student leaders will help decide how the resources will be used, including for events/ programs to promote unity and community-building where all UTSA students will be invited and welcome.
Additional programming for students may include:
If funding allows and in alignment with the university’s efforts to recruit Black faculty, this initiative will also support the future recruitment and retention of faculty who will assist in the development and implementation of programming for Black students at UTSA, in addition to serving the broader community by attracting diverse voices and advancing teaching and research.
