Hey, science writers! Experience innovation at UTSA

This is an exciting time for the University of Texas at San Antonio. Founded in 1969 by the Texas Legislature as a “university of the first class,” UTSA has become highly regarded as a destination for excellence, serving nearly 29,000 students, and developing specialties in health, cybersecurity, energy, sustainability, and human and social development.

UTSA recruits top-tier faculty who are nationally and internationally recognized in their fields. More than 140 new researchers from universities such as Harvard, Yale, Rutgers, Purdue, Carnegie Mellon, Northwestern and MIT have joined UTSA since 2013.

In UTSA laboratories, researchers are exploring pressing global challenges in a variety of areas such as advanced materials; cloud, cyber, computing and analytics; integrated biomedicine; social and educational transformation; and sustainable communities and critical infrastructure. All the while, these mentors are training UTSA students to become the next generation of leaders in STEM.

Experience UTSA research first-hand during our campus tours on Monday, Oct. 31, from 10:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Meet UTSA researchers, learn about their fascinating areas of study, and view demonstrations in the laboratory.

The first tour will focus on UTSA engineering research: solar energy and sustainability, robotics, and visualization technology. The second will focus on UTSA’s biomedical advances: 3-D printing tissues and organs, finding innovative ways to stop the spread of Lyme disease or using light to kill cancer cells. Tours after the conference are available by request.

Welcome to excellence, science writers! Enjoy your stay in San Antonio!
