WHEREAS, Students, alumni, and faculty are celebrating the
40th anniversary of the establishment of The University of Texas at

enrolled 670 graduate students in its first class in 1973, and since

universities in Texas; more than 28,000 students are currently
pursuing degrees at UTSA, and some 72,000 alumni contribute to

achieved without the support of many public and private sector
partners; and
WHEREAS, A proud component of The University of Texas System,
UTSA is building a solid foundation for its graduates by helping to
prepare them for success in the global economy, and its
contributions as part of the public higher education system in
