| Students: Applications Available for Peers for Pride
Are you interested in learning more about LGBTQA identities? Do you want to make a difference for LGBTQA people at UT and beyond? Are you interesting in learning more about how to have conversations on topics we are often socialized not to discuss? Then you may be interested in joining Peers for Pride!! It is a peer facilitation program offered through the year for academic credit. Students write a monologue during the first semester and during the second semester students perform the monologues and facilitate conversations in character. If you are interested in applying or have questions, please email the GSC Education Coordinator, Shane Whalley, at swhalley@austin.utexas.edu. |
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

If you are planning on taking classes somewhere else this summer, please check the Automated Texas Equivalency site (and check with Stacey or Linda too)

Dear UT Undergraduates:
With registration for next semester coming up in a few weeks, let me tell
you about an exciting internship course.
Are you thinking about whether graduate school is in your future? Are
you uncertain about what it would be like to be a graduate student and what
academic program may be suited best to your interests and career goals?
If your answer to these questions is yes, you may wish to consider
undertaking the Intellectual Entrepreneurship (IE) “Pre-Graduate School
Internship.” This internship is open to students in all UT
colleges/schools and departments. You may earn one, two or three hours
of academic credit (CMS 164M/264M/364M) by participating in the internship.
You may read more about this program (including FAQ’s, examples
of internship activities and an easy to complete internship contract) on
the web: http://communication.utexas.edu/ie/
A wonderful UT web feature about this program is at:
http://www.utexas.edu/features/2008/ie-2/
If after examining these materials you have questions, please feel free
to contact me at: spaj737@uts.cc.utexas.edu
NOTE: Because of the generosity of several UT deans, undergraduates who
do their pre-grad internship in programs in the following colleges will be
eligible to receive travel grants to help cover part of the cost of
attending an academic conference (with their grad mentor)– Law, Public
Affairs, Communication, Engineering, Liberal Arts, Pharmacy, Business,
Social Work, Education, Natural Sciences, Fine Arts.
Sincerely,
Rick Cherwitz
Professor and IE Director
