Student Organization Spotlight

Women of Honor

Established in 2006, Women of Honor is a UTSA student organization whose purpose is to UNIFY the minority female student body, BEAUTIFY the image of our sisters, and MAGNIFY the best of who we are. We look to eradicate the stereotypes that exist about us through community service and acting as a support mechanism for the sisters on this campus. We create projects that are not only central to bettering the experience of women on this campus, but also of the community at large.
