Penny Wars!

Liberal Arts Honors Student Council will be having a money war for Be An Anchor Fundraiser!

The goal is simple: The jar with the most amount of money will win!

 

There will be three jars in the LAH office, one for each advisor. Depending on which jar gets the most money, the advisor will do something special for the LAH community!

 

What are they willing to do?

Linda Shipley Mayhew will dress up as a jockey and gallop around with a hobby-horse

OR

Stacey Amorous will dress up as Professor McGonagall

OR

Dr. Carver will have a dramatic reading of a rap song

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask Haley Williams or Ena Ganguly about VAV and Be an Anchor!

HEALTH PROFESSIONS FAIR

The Health Professions Fair is held each spring. Approximately 600 students, alumni and community members attend. In addition, 70-75 professional schools are generally in attendance. This event is an opportunity for anyone who attends to meet and talk with admissions representatives from practically every health professions school in the state and many from across the country. We know it would be impossible for most of us to visit every school, so we bring the schools to you! All UT Austin students, alumni and any community members who are interested in finding out more about the health professions career pathway are welcome to attend. We encourage business casual attire.
