StufSA Mixer

Leave a reply

Each semester at StüfSA (Students for Study Abroad) we hold a mixer to connect students who have been abroad with students wanting to go abroad.  This is an excellent time for students to learn about the exciting opportunities study abroad offers from their fellow peers.  The event will take place Wednesday, April 13 from 6-8 p.m. in the SAC Ballroom.  We will be providing free Argentinean food and live Brazilian music.

Also, I wanted to mention our Country Corner program: COUNTRY CORNERSSPRING2011Round2[1] Country Corners are an opportunity for students who are going abroad or are interested in going to learn about some of the cultural specifics and norms of different countries in smaller setting from a StüfSA mentor who has spent time in that country.  I have attached a schedule and instructions on how to RSVP.

All the best,
Tommy Ward

Texas 4000 Event – Bone Marrow Registry

Leave a reply

Everyday 6,000 people search the National Bone Marrow Registry for a potential match. On April 27th and 28th on both the East and West Malls Texas4000 will be educating people on registering for this and the impact it could make by registering as a potential bone marrow donor. We will even have people set up to help you register on both of those days if you make the decision to do that. It would be awesome if everyone could stop by at some point during one of those days and learn a little bit more and see if signing up with the national registry is something they want to do.
