The merger between UTSA and UT Health is all about academic excellence and opportunity.
The higher education landscape in San Antonio is about to dramatically transform, redefining research and opportunity here in ways that will be felt for generations. Before we turn to what this long-awaited merger between the University of Texas at San Antonio and UT Health means for the region — it will create a foundation for a leading national public university, which will fuel additional research funding and attract academic and student talent — let’s briefly reflect on the past.
It marks yet another seismic shift for UT Health following the death, in March, of Dr. William L. Henrich, a beloved figure who had served as president for 15 years. Dr. Robert Hromas, who has been serving as acting president for UT Health, said Henrich “would be excited about the opportunity.” “I wish he were here to be a part of this conversation,” Milliken said. Following an accreditation process, the new university will open its doors in August 2025.
