Message from Dr. Ruiz

The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) Office of P-20 Initiatives is focused on implementing programs that will increase the college-going rate of Texans over the next decade by establishing strong relationships with stakeholders interested in serving underrepresented students. Over the past year, we have been successful in delivering college awareness, access, readiness opportunities and retention services to students from within Bexar County and the surrounding areas. Because of a highly supportive community, we have been able to stress the importance of an education to over 37,000 student/participant contacts.  We look forward to a fruitful year as we continue to prepare students for their future success in reaching their personal, academic and career goals. With each new graduating class, we strive to strengthen our community, our workforce and our economy.

Rachel Ruiz, Ph.D., Assistant Vice President
