Destination College Week
May 12 – May 17
Destination College Week is cafécollege’s annual citywide campaign to celebrate and strengthen San Antonio’s college-going culture.
San Antonio is a college city, home to over 150,000 students and 31 colleges and universities. We want to keep that momentum going by supporting even more local youth and adults on the path to higher education.
A college degree or credential opens doors to better jobs, greater opportunities, and long-term success, not just for individuals and families, but for our entire community. Destination College Week brings people together to inspire the next generation of college students and support them on their journey.
