Leave a reply

Help new LAHers pick out their fall classes during summer orientation!

From the week of June 6th through July 11th, we will need volunteers to help out all day on Tuesdays, when students are selecting their classes and on Wednesday mornings, from 9 am – noon in the MEZ computer lab when students are registering.

You can provide valuable insight about professors, classes and workload!

We don’t need you every single week – just sign up for what time you can spare by Wednesday, May 4.  There is a sign up sheet at the LAH front desk.

We will have a training session on Monday, May 9 3:30 – 5 pm, with PIZZA, location TBD.

Volunteer for the LAH Fall Semester Orientation Bike Ride

Leave a reply

Like to cycle?

Want to introduce first year LAHers to Austin?

We are planning a new LAH event to kick off the fall semester: an Orientation Bike Ride.  To introduce our first year LAHers to Austin and to the LAH community, we would like to offer them a chance to take a bike ride around town right before classes start on Monday, August 22.

I need LAH volunteers to lead these bikes rides! Design a plan for a bike ride around Austin – any distance or level of difficulty is fine.  We will need a mix of all different levels – some for experts and some for beginners.

Use google maps: http://maps.google.com/ to plan your route and calculate mileage.  Send me your plan by Friday, May 6. Along with your route, please include 1- estimated ride time, 2- difficulty level, and 3 – departure time.

A few requirements:

1-  All rides should depart from Gebauer

2-  Departure time should be sometime in the morning

3-  Return to Gebauer by 1 pm (for ice cream!)

Want to lead a group on foot?  Those proposals are welcome too!
