What Students Say
Rosemarie (Lillie) Macias (Class of 2006, Psychology)
"The Honors College is more than a catalyst to success; it is a support system that exudes true care for its students. The Honors College experience has been instrumental in preparing me for a graduate education. I have no doubt that the relationships formed with mentors will continue to be a source of support to me academically and professionally."
Daniel Johnson (Class of 2006, Electrical Engineering)
"At the Honors College, the counselors really helped me know all my options and the most important classes to take at the right time. I received several internships and research opportunities through connections with the Honors College, which helped me find what I love and gave me a head start on my future career."
Rohan Goswami (Class of 2007, Biology/Pre-Med)
"The Honors College provides more than an excellent education; it provides a home for students on the UTSA campus. With great mentors, exceptional advising, and an ample amount of opportunities, the Honors College prepares its students for greatness."
Jacqueline Adams (Class of 2007, Psychology)
"I never imagined I could have attended graduate school before I became a member of the Honors College. The mentors and staff at the Honors College inspired me to exceed my expectations and instilled in me the confidence to continue my education. Because of their help and encouragement, in the fall I will be starting my doctoral program in Chicago."
Robin McIlhenny (Class of 2008, History/Pre-Law)
"The Honors College community creates an environment that allows you to excel academically. As a member of the Honors College I have been provided with many opportunities that would not have been available to me as a regular student. I have traveled to Italy as part of the Honors College Study Abroad program and I have been given the opportunity to intern in Washington D.C. as an Archer Fellow. These experiences, and my studies at UTSA's prestigious Law Institute, have allowed me to become a competitive law school candidate. None of this would have been possible without the faculty and staff of the Honors College."
Nereida Reyes (Class of 2005, English)
"If it were not for the generosity of the Honors College, I would not have experienced the awakening of my African (Yoruba), Spanish (Spain), and Taíno Indian (Boriken) heritage. In a nutshell, when thinking about what the Honors College has meant to me, I can say with all sincerity that, first, I have treasured the opportunity to share with other students my time, my talents, and my life experiences. Second, the opportunity to study and work with the Honors College’s dynamic staff has been awesome!"
Pearl Kurian (Class of 2004, Biology)
"The UTSA Honors College has provided me with a wealth of resources and opportunities. My honors advisors and professors have done a tremendous job in helping me to obtain scholarships, leadership experience, and academic excellence. They have been diligent in helping me to realize and refine my potential, not only in academic pursuits but in extra-curricular activities and cultural awareness. I have gained leadership experience as president of UHSA and as a member of the finance committee in the NCHC. I have gained academic recognition through honors scholarships and an increased cultural awareness through the honors study abroad to Italy. The UTSA Honors College has truly helped me to make the most of my college experience."
Christine LeBlanc (Class of 2006, Biology)
"I joined the Honors College to challenge my mind, connect with a smaller group of students, and to open new doors of opportunity. Over the years, I have met some of my best friends through the Honors College and by my senior year I had the opportunity to do summer programs with three different medical schools, which included the University of Texas Medical Branch, the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio, and the Baylor College of Medicine. The Honors College has helped me to grow into a more confident and professional person."
