Say goodbye to Slack and welcome… the LAH & HUMANITIES DISCORD!
The LAH & Humanities Discord is created for students to congregate and connect through a virtual community. There are subchannels within the Discord dedicated to job opportunities, socials, advice, LAH/Humanities Student Councils, and a general subsection for chatting with others. We will be adding other channels throughout the year upon request, so let Kara Burks or Kayla Sorge (both administrators for the server) know if there is a group you want to see created! Thanks and Hook ‘Em! :)
Join the LAH & Humanities Discord Server via the link here.
The First-Gen Signature Events Sub-Committee contacted all first-gen students this March who were flagged as likely to graduate this spring/summer to invite them to First-Gen Grad! Students were given the ability to RSVP for the celebration and were given information about how to pick up First-Gen stoles.
The RSVP has since closed, due to max capacity being reached in the San Jacinto Multipurpose Room; however, students who would like to participate will still be able to participate via live-stream on our website, firstgeneration.utexas.edu on May 18th at 2pm.
There are still 400 stoles that have gone unclaimed and are still available in SSB 3.200 to seniors on a first-come, first-served basis. The space is open Monday-Friday this week from 8-5. Stop by and grab your stole, free of charge, before they run out!
Deadline: May 5, 2022

Honors Day cords and medallions
Based on GPA and eligibility criteria, students are invited to participate in the University Honors Day ceremony. This year the ceremony is April 9, 2022. https://honorsday.utexas.edu/. In the past, we have had cords and/or medallions available to students who were not able to attend the University ceremony. Our office has been transitioning Honors Day cords etc.. to the CoLA Student Division in GEB 2.200, but we might receive some cords to have on hand to give to students who may have missed the April 9th ceremony. The cords are a variation of Orange and White (the pattern differs from year to year, so it’s important to know which year the student qualified for cords), the medallions have the year stamped on them.
Students who are listed as College Scholars receive the Honors Day (orange/white) cords. Students listed as Distinguished College Scholars receive cords and a medallion.
