Roardrunner alumni show off their UTSA rings at a tailgate event in 2019.
DECEMBER 3, 2021 — With the upcoming celebration of a new class of graduates, now is the perfect time to remind the Roadrunner community about the resources and services available through membership in the UTSA Alumni Association.
“As a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that is independent from the university, the UTSA Alumni Association relies on dues and gifts from loyal Roadrunners to maintain operations, provide scholarships and offer our award-winning services and programs,” said Steve Woodall, association interim executive director. “Anyone who feels an affinity for UTSA, including faculty and staff, is welcome to show their support as a member.”
Belonging to the association offers many opportunities for fun and supporting our UTSA community plus connection to a network of approximately 150,000 alumni around the world.
“There are, of course, many benefits to being a member,” Woodall said. “Many Roadrunner alumni, faculty, staff and friends appreciate that their membership helps fund more than $150,000 in scholarships for current students each year. Access to the UTSA Rec at a special rate, a new travel perks program just for members and discounts with key partners are also available benefits.”
Members are invited to participate in fun events throughout the year, including Diploma Dash 5K and UTSA Alumni Golf Scramble as well as other enrichment programming, like mentoring current students through the Roadrunner Network.
Beyond the good feelings that come with supporting fellow Roadrunners, members also contribute to the advancement of the university. “Members are vital to the UTSA Alumni Association advocacy and volunteer efforts,” said Yvonne Addison, president of the board of directors for the association. “We cannot offer the great programming that keeps us connected and growing without the support of our members. As membership grows, so does the university’s reputation and therefore the recognition of a UTSA degree.”
There are many opportunities to network and stay involved with fellow Roadrunners, especially by volunteering and making a gift each year.

The investment is just $40 a year for an individual and $60 for two Roadrunners. Members can also select a three-year option to save on annual-level memberships or peruse life membership options.
