LAH and Humanities Upper-Division Essay Competition

Welcome back LAHers!

Now’s your chance to apply for the upper-division LAH Essay Scholarship due September 22nd.

Here’s the prompt:

At the start of each academic year, the university welcomes both new and returning students to campus. At UT Austin, the university wide “Gone to Texas” tradition in front of the tower ushers in new students.  In LAH, we host a luncheon where our community of students, faculty, and staff break bread with each other.

Traditions of welcoming and hospitality vary across individuals, places, and cultures.  Reflecting on personal experience or representations of welcoming in film, literature, or history, describe a practice that has made an impression on you.  What is the significance of this type of ritual?
