The UT Women’s & Gender Studies Student Organization is holding its first, informational meeting this Tuesday, September 6 in Mezes 1.216 at 5:30 p.m. This is an open invitation to anyone affiliated with or interested in WGS (majors/non-majors/minors/other student organizations or representatives/undergrads/graduate students).
For our first meeting we are organizing leadership roles, creating committees, and finalizing the mission statement. If you are looking to hold a leadership position or get involved in some other capacity, now is the time to join!
We encourage and welcome representatives from other student organizations to attend our meeting for more information on what we hope to accomplish. Our organization seeks to foster a coalition and grow our feminist community through movement building.
The UT-WGS student organization aims to act as a liaison among the various women’s, queer, LGBTQIA, feminist, human rights activist groups on campus, and the academic department. Our focus is to build community among the various groups, and be a central resource and academic base for existing, new, or interested members to Women’s and Gender Studies.
Please feel free to forward and circulate! If you can not make it to this first meeting, please feel free to email us for more information and keep an eye out for future meetings.
Sincerely,
UT Women & Gender Studies Student Organization

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
The official add/drop period is officially over! You do have until the 12th class day, September 9, to drop a course and have it deleted from your record. After September 9, any class you drop will show up as a Q on your record. You are limited to 6 Q-drops while at UT, so it is best to save your Q for an emergency situation. You cannot Q-drop a course after Nov. 1.
When dropping courses, please keep in mind that you must be registered for 12 hours to be a full-time student.
