TEXAS A&M SAN ANTONIO

A new walking trail on the city’s Southside is what developers call the first step at connecting the city’s green spaces.

Texas A&M San Antonio became a standalone university in the fall of 2009 and since then, it has grown dramatically.

Gustavo de la Fuente comes from a small town in the Rio Grande Valley. He was raised by a single mother who immigrated from Mexico when she was a little girl. “It was really difficult for her, quite honestly, for her raising us. But she really persevered and she gave us all the options she could that she didn’t have.” Gustavo said.
