Students of the World
Applications are open for next year’s Students of the World teams! Looking for a truly extraordinary internship and summer experience? Students of the World (SOW) is a local non-profit here in Austin that connects the creative capacity of college students with organizations around the world, using new media to capture the work they do and the lives they change. This past year’s UT team traveled to Haiti, where they resided for a month, traveling and capturing the stories of various organizations working in areas from micro-finance to mango and coffee farmers to emergency medical care training for doctors and nurses in Port-au-Prince’s largest general hospital. The other teams traveled to Ghana, Uganda, and the West Bank to do similar work with other NGO’s. If you are interested in journalism, photo journalism, photography, documentary film, multi-media storytelling, graphic design, fundraising, non-profit experience, traveling, cultures, language, telling stories, and transformative life experiences– this is definitely the experience for you. Check it out: www.studentsoftheworld.org.
Vote for UT Orange Bike Project
Recently, GOOD and Clif Bar partnered up to create a contest that had people write in their favorite and most memorable bike stories. The winners of this contest would be given money to donate to their favorite bicycle non-profit. We were lucky enough to have Shiyam, a Texas 4000 alum, enter a story in with OBP as the beneficiary if she were to win. And, it looks like she has made it into the final round. I and everyone involved in Orange Bike would be very grateful if you can go vote for her story– “From Austin to Alaska.” All it takes is a few moments of your time.

Join SIFE – Students in Free Enterprise
From LAHer Liuna Fekravar, founding member of the UT chapter of SIFE:
SIFE, an international nonprofit organization that challenges students to use economic concepts in order to develop outreach projects to improve the quality of life and standard of living of those in need. SIFE combines analytical thinking skills with a passion for serving one’s community in an effort to actually solve local problems.
Developing these projects and then competing (the organization competes regionally, nationally, and then internationally every year) requires more than just vocational skills – we are looking to recruit a diverse team of creative, intelligent, and passionate students, traits that I know a number of LAH students hold.
Our website is www.texassife.org and our membership application is due September 11th: https://spreadsheets.google.com/a/utexas.edu/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&formkey=dEd6YnZZc09UaWRnSTdPQ043MWxvd1E6MQ
