The Festival of American Folklife, now the Smithsonian Folklife Festival, was initiated in 1967 and occurs annually over the July 4th weekend on the Mall, Washington, D.C. The 1968 festival was cosponsored by the Institute of Texan Cultures (ITC) and highlighted Texas culture, including arts, crafts, agriculture, music and foods. The delegation of more than 150 Texans, including 50 people from the San Antonio area, was headed by R. Henderson Shuffler, ITC Director, O.T. Baker, ITC Projects Manager, organized and ran the show. The San Antonio Conservation Society organized and handled the bulk of the food preparation and service.

The Yearbook Organization, responsible for the production of UTSA's first yearbook, Horizons, originated in 1989 as the Yearbook Committee of the Student Representative Assembly. The yearbook's first editor was Cindy Ledwig, who had served as the Historian of the Student Representative Assembly. The committee had conducted a survey that revealed that 72 percent of UTSA students believed that UTSA should institute a yearbook. The name Horizons was chosen by the Yearbook Organization in a naming contest. The name was entered by Tito Sepulveda, a senior engineering student. The yearbook was published by Taylor Publishing Company.

There is no mention of a Yearbook Organization in subsequent yearbooks. Although each yearbook generally contains a statement from the yearbook's editor-in-chief, there is little information about the yearbooks' staff members, publishers, and so forth. The final yearbook, produced in 1998, was created by a single student, Rachele Di Tullio.
