Supporting unity and community-building at UTSA

Karla Broadus Student Initiatives

UTSA cultivates an environment of dialogue and discovery, where integrity, excellence, inclusiveness, respect, collaboration and innovation are fostered. To best support our student community 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 sense of belonging on our campus, and nurture even stronger relationships between Black faculty & staff, UTSA students, UTSA Alumni and the greater community.

Funds will support programming for students through the establishment of a 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:

  • SA to DC with the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce 
  • The Fearless Leadership Institute Retreat 
  • Constellation Mentoring with Black professionals in San Antonio and Alumni  
  • The McNair Scholars Programs
  • Spring Break on Wall Street
  • Study Abroad
  • Graduate fellows program

If funding allows and in alignment with the university’s efforts to recruit excellent faculty, this initiative will also support the future recruitment and retention of faculty who will assist in the development and implementation of programming for students at UTSA, in addition to serving the broader community by attracting voices representative of the community and advancing teaching and research.
