February Event Roundup

In February, UMAST members joined the San Antonio Aviation Department to help clean up thousands of pounds of trash along the creekways. 

We also had our first social event of the year, I ❤️ UMAST. We welcomed returning UMAST members and many new faces alike. The UMAST Board talked about the exciting year ahead. To let us know how you would like to engage with UMAST this year, please fill out this form:
