Student Associates are the foundation of our efforts to accomplish our goals. We welcome students at undergraduate and graduate levels and from all majors and scholarly interests to participate with us.  Student Associates are trained as facilitators, and participate in planning and executing events, programs and activities of our key projects.

Student Associates Will:

  • Develop & practice workplace skills
  • Receive training as dialogue facilitators
  • Serve as facilitators in on and off-campus events
  • Build resumes in event planning and public relations
  • Become a Part of a TEAM! Have Fun!
  • Make a difference at UTSA and in San Antonio
  • Have opportunity to be involved in the National Coalition of Dialogue & Deliberation (NCDD) Young Leaders Community
  • Be a part of building something BIG!

We meet regularly and work closely with the Directors of the Initiative.  We believe in the mission of teaching UTSA and San Antonio to engage better, collaborate with skill, and deliberate effectively!
