Texas and Mexico share aquifers, and the water problems that come with them. @UTSA and Tecnológico de Monterrey researchers are mapping groundwater quality on both sides of the border. They’re forecasting when contamination will cross safe limits and building a bilingual AI app to help farmers use the right amount of pesticide. UTSA has more: news.utsa.edu/2026/10/partne…

For students entering fields such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, computer science and data science, earning a degree is only part of preparing for the competitive job market. Knowing how to communicate their skills, build professional relationships and turn classroom knowledge into workplace experience can matter just as much.
UT San Antonio is building tomorrow's tech leaders. With mentorship, professional development and industry engagement, the new @USAA Ascent Scholars Program is accelerating student success. Read why our Roadrunners are calling the program a game changer: bit.ly/4jCzLPP @UTSACAICC

The UT System Board of Regents has named 12 faculty members as recipients of the 2026 Regents’ Outstanding Teaching Awards, which recognize exceptional classroom performance and innovation. Each honoree was selected after a competitive, multi-stage review that examined the methods they use to engage students, evidence that those methods improve outcomes, and future strategies for sharing their approach with colleagues across the UT System.

Students at UT institutions aren't just using AI. They're building with it. At @UTEP, finance students created an investment committee made entirely of AI agents. One agent analyzes earnings, another tracks markets, and a risk agent reviews the final call. Watch here: youtu.be/HNmckLJmpMM?si=9JO3…

🍰 vs 🥦 . . . How does the brain stop us acting on impulse? New research from @UTAustin found that one brain region "jams" the signals behind automatic behavior. 🧠 🫷Preliminary studies suggest the work could one day help predict, and treat, addictive and compulsive behavior. news.utexas.edu/2026/10/15/t…

Shovels ready 🏗️ 🎓 Yesterday we broke ground on a new building at the UT Education and Research Center at Laredo. Growth in students and programs has outpaced the current footprint — this new building adds classrooms, teaching labs and research space to grow South Texas’s health care workforce. Laredo is the only place in Texas where students can earn degrees from @UTHealthHouston, @UTSA, @UTRGV and @UTMBHealth, all under one roof.
