Celebrating UTSA's Tier 1 Designation
Details
Please help us celebrate the University of Texas at San Antonio’s (UTSA) achievement of Tier 1 status with its new Carnegie R1 classification. This is a prestigious designation shared by the top 4% of research universities in the nation, but what does that mean for San Antonio? Attendees will gain an understanding of tiered university status and learn what such a designation can bring to San Antonio’s business community and our region’s economy.
The event will be a keynote followed by panel discussion.
Keynote

Taylor Eighmy, UTSA President
Positioning San Antonio for Greatness
Great cities need great universities, and great universities need great cities. UTSA’s recent designation as a Top Tier university for research elevates the university—and San Antonio—to the national stage. President Eighmy will share how this major milestone will fuel the university’s Downtown Campus expansion and capacity to prepare the workforce of the future for our city.
