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!
LAHSC is looking for upperclassmen to apply by May 15 (the application is attached) to lead a discussion on a book of their choice. First year students will sign up for discussion groups during orientation. Any remaining spots will then open to LAHers of all classes.
Like to cycle?
Want to introduce first year LAHers to Austin?
We are planning a new LAH event to kick off the fall semester: an Orientation Bike Ride. To introduce our first year LAHers to Austin and to the LAH community, we would like to offer them a chance to take a bike ride around town right before classes start on Monday, August 27.
I need LAH volunteers to lead these bikes rides! Design a plan for a bike ride around Austin – any distance or level of difficulty is fine. We will need a mix of all different levels – some for experts and some for beginners.
Use google maps: http://maps.google.com/ to plan your route and calculate mileage. Send me your plan by Monday, May 14. Along with your route, please include 1- estimated ride time and 2 – departure time.
A few requirements:
1- All rides should depart from Gebauer
2- Departure time should be sometime in the morning, by 11 am
3- Return to Gebauer by 1 pm (for ice cream!)
Last year, the most popular rides centered around eating. You don’t have to go somewhere to eat, but remember that it will be hot, so it is better to plan a shorter, doable ride.
Want to lead a group on foot? Those proposals are welcome too!
If you need help coming up with ideas, just let me know and I can brainstorm with you.

What is INSPIRE?
Since 2009, the INSPIRE program has served as UT’s signature leadership program for women undergraduates. The INSPIRE program is sponsored by the Center for Women’s and Gender Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. It has been created specifically to empower undergraduate women to re-envision and enact what leadership means in a global society.
We envision the women who go through the program will create a world that opens up opportunities to create change in women’s lives in the workplace, higher education, and in every aspect of their lives Other opporunities that the program offers are:
• Community service/development
• Mentoring and networking
• Internship/career assistance
• Attendance of conferences
The program inspires and supports students in the classroom, on campus, and in community leadership roles. Students will develop skills applicable to diverse social settings: critical thinking, public presentation, group motivation, and negotiation. The participants build leadership skills by engaging in community service, and working with other young women in supportive and interdisciplinary environments. Moreover, they learn directly from the experiences of successful female mentors drawn from both the academy and the community.
The application can be found here.
(Two LAHers are in the program: Sanjna Zadoo and Caroline Suh)
