Language and Cultural Studies Career Boot Camp

If you missed the LAH Boot Camp and study languages or area studies, I highly recommend attending this.  Career Services has very helpful information.

We would like to invite your majors to a Career Boot Camp for language majors and majors from the smaller cultural studies programs.  We will be holding the event on Wednesday, March 28, from 5-7, in the Gebauer fourth-floor conference room.  And there will be pizza!!

To attend, you will need to RSVP  to Joni Carpenter (joni.carpenter@austin.utexas.edu) by March 21, at the latest, so they can get a pizza-ordering head count.

Echo Literary Magazine

This is just another reminder that the Echo Literary Magazine is accepting submissions of poetry, prose, and photography. Submissions are due at the end of spring break, so time is running out to your writing. If you submit you will have a good chance of being published in this year’s magazine!
