The City of San Marcos is launching UniverCity, a new initiative that will give residents a behind the scenes look at City Hall. The free eight-week program will include informational sessions that will highlight several city departments and the services they provide to residents and visitors.
The City will select 20 community members to participate in the inaugural UniverCity program, which is open to San Marcos residents who are at least 18 years old. Applications will be accepted through March 16 and are available at sanmarcostx.gov/univercity. Community members selected to participate in UniverCity will be notified by March 20.
