As such, this individual must be upbeat, approachable, and enjoy interacting with various types of populations.

SAC Loading Dock Assistant

Loading Dock Assistants at the Student Activity Center serve as a first contact for clients and customers accessing the loading dock area of the Student Activity Center. Loading Dock Assistants play a critical role in ensuring that the SAC’s recycling efforts in connection with LEED standards are correctly maintained as well as maintaining safety in the SAC surrounding areas. Loading Dock Assistants ensure successful coordination of deliveries for food services in the building, loading and unloading for events, as well as parking. Further, they support professional staff with many of the beautification efforts in indoor and outdoor spaces.

Before you leave for the summer, come by the LAH office and pick up a copy of the 2012 ECHO, LAH’s literary magazine.

Stories, poetry, and photography from James Stratton, Charles Nwaogu, Damir Ljuboja, Aza Pace, Cassandra Shulter, Jennifer Rembach, Amanda Harr, Ali Besing, Eleanor Bennett, Ben Johnson and Hope Osborn. Artfully put together by the ECHO editors: Andy Bowman, Cindy Brzostowski and Ben Johnson.

Get your copy today before they are all gone!

Registration for both summer and fall begins Monday, April 16 – Friday, April 27.

The Summer schedule is out now and the Fall schedule will be online Tuesday, April 3. If you want to be advised for summer and/or fall, just call 471-3458 to set up an appointment with either Stacey or Linda.

There will be a sign up list for the lower-division honors courses in the office by  Friday, April 6.

For any upper-division LAH 350 courses you can just register (no sign up necessary). Unless, you are a Dual degree student (e.g. Government and Communication major) you must contact Stacey or Linda during your registration time to be added in to your desired LAH 350 course (as long as it is open).

Registration hint: If the upper-divison LAH course is cross-listed with your major department, you should register for it under your department. It will still apply towards College Honors. Many departments have sign up sheets in their offices (I know Government does) and this guarantees you a seat.

Also, don’t forget to claim any needed AP credits. This can move you up a classification and move up your registration time.

Here is the web-site for the Center for Teaching and Learning to claim your AP: http://ctl.utexas.edu/programs-and-services/student-testing-services/

And if you still need to take that pesky TX GOV only test to pair with your AP GOV, here is the link for the test and a link for an additional online textbook on Texas Politics
