Update on Lighting Issues at Downtown Campus

by COEHD Communications

Dear COEHD Faculty and Staff, Please see the message below from Josh Gerken, UT San Antonio Associate Vice President, Assets Management, regarding lighting concerns at the Downtown Campus. — The Downtown Facilities Team has been working to address this. We found some issues in the underground power loop feeding the lights, that to my knowledge have now been completed. There was an issue with the lights in the garage are that were on a different timer schedule (for reasons unknown) that have now been adjusted to an earlier time. Unfortunately, around the garage and the ramps are going to take a little longer to restore higher light levels to this area. As a part of the structural repair for the downtown garage, we had to remove the old canopy. That canopy had lighting on it that used to illuminate these areas more. As a part of the project, we are going to add additional wall pack lights to get better coverage of light at night time. That will take a little for the completion of this project. We are anticipating having these installed in the next 2-4 weeks dependent upon lead time for the lights. — Have a safe and warm weekend, COEHD Communications The College of Education and Human Development The University of Texas at San Antonio Submit a Communications & Marketing Request<https://utsa.service-now.com/myportal?id=sc_cat_item&sys_id=c1139c558779f...> Submit a Website Request<https://support.utsa.edu/myportal?id=sc_category&catalog_id=b5a5eb771b40d...>

Announcement: Consolidation of BBL and REGSS Departments

by COEHD Dean

Dear COEHD Faculty and Staff, Earlier today, I met with faculty and staff from the Department of Bicultural-Bilingual Studies and the Department of Race, Ethnicity, Gender and Sexuality Studies to share the news that these two departments will be consolidated into a single, unified department. The reorganization will take effect on September 1, 2026. This transition represents an exciting opportunity for the college. By bridging these departments together, we expand the potential for innovative programming, strengthen research collaborations, enhance graduate advising and mentorship, and support a healthier long-term financial outlook. This alignment ensures a more prosperous future for our academic programs and the college. As with any organizational change, I know many of you may have questions about what this means for your roles, our programs, and our students. At this time, no changes to faculty or staff positions, reporting structures, or job responsibilities are planned. Academic programs will continue as usual, and students will have the same access to their courses, advisors, and degree pathways. To facilitate this transition, the impacted departments will form a task force comprised of faculty, staff, and students representative of both departments. This group will help shape the unified department's mission, identity, and structure. Transparency will remain a priority throughout this process. The committee and I will share regular updates with the COEHD community so everyone can remain informed. All COEHD students will be notified about this reorganization on Tuesday, January 20. We are committed to ensuring that students experience a smooth transition and continue to receive the support they need. If you have any questions or would like to share your thoughts, please contact me at COEHD.Dean(a)utsa.edu<mailto:COEHD.Dean@utsa.edu>. Mario S. Torres Dean, College of Education and Human Development President's Distinguished Professorship [signature_1756875520]

These ADA Title II Web/Mobile Accessibility requirements<https://utsa.screenstepslive.com/a/1916595-ada-title-ii-web-mobile-access...>, which apply to all public universities, are designed to make it easier for people with disabilities to navigate UT San Antonio’s websites, access resources and use online portals and courses.
