On Thursday, Aug. 4, UIW’s Behavioral Health Services hosted its “Taco-bout Mental Health” event in honor of Suicide Awareness Month on the Broadway Campus. The annual event presents an opportunity for students, faculty, staff and community members to become more knowledgeable about aspects related to mental health while simultaneously enjoying delicious street tacos provided by local food truck Tacos al Cabron Cabron.
Every year, the University of the Incarnate Word’s Broadway campus transforms into a winter wonderland during its much-anticipated Light the Way Holiday Festival. This annual event invites thousands of San Antonio residents to experience the “millions of twinkling lights” that illuminate the campus, ushering the joyous Christmas season. However, this event wouldn’t be possible without the help of UIW student volunteers.
On Saturday, Aug. 6, the UIW School of Osteopathic Medicine (UIWSOM) honored the Class of 2029 at their annual White Coat Ceremony at the Boeing Tech Port. This ceremony signifies the beginning of student doctors’ academic journeys at UIWSOM. As they progress through the next four years of their education, they will grow into the next generation of exemplary health professionals who will heal their neighbors.
