CMHC is offering several diversity discussion groups this semester. Please see the attached flyer for those specific groups.
In addition to these Voices groups, CMHC offers a wide variety of therapy groups, therapeutic classes, and skill-building workshops that address a range of student needs. Although some students are initially hesitant to consider participating in a group, those who join consistently find this form of support to be a very beneficial and positive experience.
New groups form each semester. Most therapy and support groups consist of about 5 to 10 members. Classes and workshops, which incorporate more education and skill-building, may be a bit larger. Most groups begin a few weeks into the semester and last 8 to 10 weeks (concluding before finals), though some may be shorter. In most cases, you have an opportunity to meet with the facilitator(s) to discuss your interest, while other groups can be attended on a drop-in basis.
If the group you’re interested in is full, you may wish to call (512) 471-3515 or come by CMHC Monday through Friday between 8am and 5pm to discuss your needs.
If you have any questions about our groups, please contact Dr. Kate Czar, who oversees the group program, at (512) 471-3515.
A complete list of groups is available here: https://www.cmhc.utexas.edu/groups.html#schedule

This fall, the UT Office of Undergraduate Research will once again host the Texas Student Research Showdown, a research communication competition. Student researchers from all disciplines will make videos and give short presentations explaining their work to a general audience, with judges awarding up to $1,500 in scholarships to recognize excellence in research communication.
If you have conducted research and would be interested in sharing it with a broad audience, please consider making a submission. Aside from the potential awards and the experience presenting their work, student submitters will have a 2-minute video to show for their efforts — an ideal way to explain their work to friends, family, grad schools, and future employers. You can learn more about the event (and see past examples of student work) at https://ugs.utexas.edu/our/showdown. I’ll be sending out more info when the form for submissions opens in September.
The International Office has a program for training to become a teacher of English as a foreign language that some of your students might be interested. CELTA stands for the Cambridge English Language Teaching Certificate. It is the most widely-recognized qualification for teaching English that enables its holders to obtain the best teaching positions all over the world. The program is intensive, consisting of 8-hours a day of instruction, for 4 weeks, including hands-on experience in the classroom. The program runs multiple times a year. It is a great opportunity for those who wish to work and travel.
There are some information sessions on CELTA coming up September 28th, November 2nd, and December 7th from 5-6pm at UTC 1.130.
Learn more at https://world.utexas.edu/esl/teach-abroad. I hope to hear from you soon.
