"Every Interaction Matters: Choose, Act, Impact"

About The Butterfly Effect
For the purposes of the theme, civic responsibility is defined as active participation in the public life of a community in an informed, committed, and constructive manner, with a focus on the common good (Gottlieb & Robinson, 2002). The inaugural theme was selected to honor A&M-San Antonio’s commitment to becoming a National Model for Student and Academic Success that embraces an inclusive environment that inspires learning, fosters social development, and provides transformative experiential learning opportunities.
