San Antonio – October 20, 2023 – St. Anthony Catholic High School (SACHS) was proud to welcome back hundreds of Yellow Jackets during the 2023 Homecoming Game held on Friday, October 13. Approximately 500 former and current students, teachers and staff gathered at the University of the Incarnate Word’s Benson Stadium for a game against Victoria St. Joseph and, although the outcome of the game was disappointing, the gathering of the SACHS community was an outstanding success.
On October 10, UIW’s College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (CHASS) hosted Global Justice Day, a celebration that aimed to promote wellness and belonging amongst the University’s community.
The University of the Incarnate Word (UIW) has been an evolving presence in San Antonio for nearly 150 years, passionately serving its students and community. Within that time, the University has had the privilege of aiding a diverse history of students in receiving an education and supporting them in achieving their dreams. In the fall of 2023, the University welcomed its largest First Time in College class in its history. As much as UIW has grown and as far as its reach has expanded, every year, the University community celebrates Heritage Day, a time to reflect on the fact that what stands here today is all because of three courageous Sisters who arrived in Texas in 1869.
