Teach for America – Final Deadline Feb 15
In America today, a gap in academic achievement separates kids in low-income communities from their higher-income peers, and this divide falls too often along racial and cultural lines. Only eight percent of students growing up in poverty graduate from college by age 24, compared to 80 percent of students in more affluent areas. This limits life options, affects families and communities, and has significant social and economic implications for our country. It doesn’t have to be this way. We know we must fight to give all kids a great education and the countless opportunities that come with it, regardless of their zip code or background.
JOIN THE MOVEMENT: TEACH FOR AMERICA FINAL application deadline is February 15th.
Teach For America is the national corps of outstanding recent college graduates, graduate students, and professionals who commit to teach for two years in urban and rural public schools and become lifelong leaders in social justice. This year, more than 10,000 corps member are teaching in 46 regions across the country, while nearly 28,000 Teach For America alumni continue working from inside and outside the field of education for the fundamental changes necessary to ensure our nation lives up to its ideals.
By teaching for two years in Teach For America’s corps, you will join thousands of leaders, including many UT-Austin alumni, helping fight one of the most urgent social, ethical, moral, and economic injustices of our generation. You can put your students on a different life path through academic success, and develop the skills, insights, and personal commitment needed to be an agent for change in the long-term.

Calling all Renaissance men and women!
The American Renaissance Society at the University of Texas at Austin is looking for new members! (a registered UT student organization)
We meet on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Tuesday’s of the month at 7pm at the Caffé Medici on Guadalupe St to discuss a variety of intellectually engaging topics ranging from American foreign policy to the greatest rock albums of the 20th century. Diversity of backgrounds and viewpoints are welcome and encouraged, and meetings are casual and usually last about an hour, or until all those in attendance have contributed whatever they have to say. Our topic this week is “What is Love?”
Love is one of the most powerful feelings that we as human beings can experience. Men and women throughout history have at times thrown away their careers, their reputations, their relationship with their families, and even their kingdoms or empires for the sake of being with the one they loved. And yet for all its power, love is widely misunderstood. Though contemplated in classical philosophy (Plato’s “Symposium” probably being the best example), the power of love has often been ignored or seen as unimportant by more modern philosophers such as Hobbes and Locke, who instead focused the bulk of their attention instead on self-interest. But is self-interest really more powerful than love, and if it is, why are people so often willing to sacrifice their self-interest for the sake of love? Moreover, what exactly is the nature of love? Is it a desire to attain the beautiful and make ourselves immortal through reproduction (as Socrates argues in the “Symposium”), or is it instead, as Aristophanes argued, an instinct rather than a conscious effort, and one which is entirely devoid of self-interest, yet still the most powerful force acting on human beings?
