La Villita Room - Durango Building, UTSA Downtown Campus

We welcome everyone from UTSA and San Antonio community to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Mexican American Studies program at the University of Texas at San Antonio this evening. We'll be celebrating this milestone with a reception, panel, and alumni testimonials.

In its 30 years of existence, the MAS program has provided students with an undergraduate experience that affirms their cultural and linguistic wealth and activates their communities’ genealogies of social change. The event will give UTSA students, faculty, and community a space to celebrate and discuss the past, present, and future of MAS.
