American Shakespeare Center comes to UT this February …

Doctor Faustus

Texas Union Theater | Tuesday, February 10, 2015

6:00 PM Pre-performance seminar: ‘Hell Hath No Limits: the Tragedy of Doctor Faustus.’

7:00 PM Performance

The American Shakespeare Center will end their UT tour with a performance of Christopher Marlowe’s thrilling tragedy Doctor Faustus. Based on the classic German myth, the tale of Doctor Faustus chronicles one academic’s deal with the Devil to gain knowledge and power.

Marlowe weaves a shocking and contemporary tale of the struggle between good and evil, championing what is most daring in the human spirit. In his masterpiece that predates almost all of Shakespeare’s plays, Marlowe breathtakingly conjures Helen of Troy, the Seven Deadly Sins, angels, demons, and Lucifer himself, before dragging Faustus to Hell.

Tickets are available beginning Monday, February 2nd, 2015 at 9 a.m. in the University Honors Center (CRD 23).

Tickets are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS:

1. You must make your reservation in person in the University Honors Center (first come, first served).

2. You must arrive in CRD 23 for the pre-performance seminar no later than 5:15 pm with your student ID.

3. You must attend the educational seminar and performance in order to receive ticket.

4. Tickets will be distributed the evening of the performance.

The Project, UT’s Largest Day of Service, is in 26 days!  We are recruiting 2200 volunteers and event staff (Team Leads) for February 28^th.  Since January of 2013, we’ve been working with the Holly/East Cesar Chavez neighborhoods to get to know residents, map community resources, and to volunteer alongside a rapidly changing community.   After Project 2014 we had 1850 volunteers and 15 community organizations working at 36 sites, making a nearly $400,000 economic impact.  We’re proud to support the Austin community that supports UT so well, and we hope you’ll join us in giving back – we welcome all UT faculty, staff, alumni, and families!

To volunteer:  http://ddce.utexas.edu/theproject/event-info/volunteer-registration/

The School of Architecture Internal Transfer application is now live, and will close on March 1, 2015. 

The link is https://soa.utexas.edu/apps/internaltransfers/apply. 

Applicants should also read the Internal Transfer FAQ.

For the first time ever, the College of Natural Sciences will be requiring an application for internal transfer to all CNS majors (EVS will retain a separate application).  The college recently published information about our internal transfer process, which includes requirements, courses that can be taken prior to acceptance, internal transfer session dates, FAQs, and much more.  The application opened this past Friday, and the submission deadline is April 15, 2015 at 5:00pm.

The college does not currently have the ability to meet with prospective internal transfer students on an individual basis, so it would be appreciated if all interested students were referred to the website and to internal transfer sessions.  The FAQs are quite extensive, but students are welcome to send any unaddressed questions to  cns.internal.transfer@austin.utexas.edu .  The internal transfer sessions are optional.  The first session was held last week, and we will hold at least three additional sessions during the spring semester.  These sessions are by RSVP only, so it is important for students to do so through the internal transfer session page.

Students of the World is an organization dedicated to inspiring change through creativity. Our organization strives to bring together people of all creative and critical thinking fields, from film, social work, politics, photography, web and graphic design, to written essays and more.

This semester we will be hosting our first annual Documentary Festival, with prizes and local filmmaker judges. In addition, members interested in creating content will be assigned a mentor working in the professional creative field to advise them on their projects as well as with internships, resumes, and more.

Students of the World UT Chapter is a branch of a national non-profit in California that is partnered with Participant Media and Pivot TV, providing the college chapters the opportunity to have content distributed through them as well as the ability to network with the national organization and participate in nation-wide opportunities such as film challenges, internships, and media ambassadorships.
