The Whataburger Resource Room (formerly Roadrunner Pantry) has been an important wellbeing support program for UTSA students since it opened at the Main Campus in 2017 and at the Downtown Campus in 2020.
UTSA knows that in order to build bold futures, students need all types of support for their wellbeing and academic success – including resources that combat food insecurity. During the pandemic, the pantry opened its doors to anyone with a UTSA ID, providing critical assistance to our entire Roadrunner community.
