Staff and volunteers will be onsite to secure signed parental waivers at the entrance and to help with child pick-up.
UIW Tent
The UIW Tent and Tailgating will take place next to the tennis courts across from the Bronze Cardinal Statue. This will be the perfect place to enjoy food and beverages and find some relief from the sun. Our tent traditionally has been a great place to gather throughout the event to relax and spend time with UIW friends and colleagues.

Department News
A Special Message from Dr. David Jurenovich, VP for Campus Life & Facilities Mgmt.
Dear Cardinal Community,
Please be advised that on Friday, May 31, the University will hold a funeral service for longtime UIW friend, Mark Richter, at 2 p.m., in Our Lady’s Chapel.
To accommodate guests attending the funeral service, parking lots in front of the Administration Building closest to the Music and Fine Arts buildings will be closed.
Mark was born and raised on the Southside of San Antonio and had a love of music at an early age. From playing the Viola as a youth to transitioning to singing and music theater, Mark's love for music was always in the forefront of his life. He was also an active member of the San Antonio Opera Community.
Please keep Mark and his family and friends in your thoughts and prayers during this time. To read his obituary, click: Mark Richter .
