(May 31, 2019) – UTSA President Peter T. Flawn has announced the admission of UTSA’s first freshman. He is Gino Chincarini, an 18-year-old senior at Alamo Heights High School in San Antonio who plans to earn a degree in accounting.
Although UTSA will begin offering classes for freshmen and sophomores this summer [1976], Chincarini doesn’t plan to enter the university until next fall. He’ll spend the summer working in his father’s TV repair business. “I hope to save enough money to buy a car,” says Chincarini, who is working part-time with his father now. He plans to live at home and continue with the part-time job while he’s attending UTSA. He hopes to graduate in 1980.
