San Marcos UniverCity

The City of San Marcos launched UniverCity in Spring 2023, a new initiative that gives residents a behind-the-scenes look at City Hall. This free 8-week program includes informational sessions highlighting city departments and the services they provide to residents and visitors.  

The class ran between March and May of 2023.  Our Spring 2024 class will begin taking applications in January 2024.
