The Service-Learning Intercollegiate Collaborative (SLIC) fosters partnerships among colleges and universities in the San Antonio area to advance experiential education. The group was started in 2001 by Our Lady of the Lake and St. Mary's University. The collaborative consists of staff and faculty from the Alamo Colleges, Our Lady of the Lake University, St. Mary's University, Texas A&M San Antonio University, Texas Lutheran University, Trinity University, University of the Incarnate Word, and University of Texas at San Antonio which now includes UT Health and UT School of Public Health.

The goal of these gatherings is to create an intercollegiate space to support the cross-pollination and collaboration of community-engaged partnerships and the Sustainable Development Goals.

San Antonio is also growing as a "City of Compassion" and colleges and universities are essential parts of this.
