Our 2nd Fall 2024 event was a success. This event was an opportunity to hear from campus and College of Fine Arts partners about student resources like CARE counseling, financial wellness, the Center for Creative Economies and Texas Performing Arts events, jobs, and student programs. Students could hear from presenters about dealing with stressors and incorporating self-care, the basics of making a budget work, and the multifaceted opportunities that Texas Performing Arts and the Center for Creative Economies have available to them. We continue to see the value in educating students on the available resources on campus and how they can have a more well-rounded higher education experience by using these multiple resources.

Presenters:

COFA Care Counselor
Niki Luibrand, LCSW

Texas Performing Arts
Eric Vera, Education Program Manager

Texas Financial Wellness
Gilbert Rios

Center for Creative Economies
Sonia Montoya, Director

UTeach Fine Arts held our first event of Fall 2004. The Kick Off and Faculty Share by Dr. Laurie Scott event occurred on Thursday, September 12. We had a fantastic turnout for this event, with staff, faculty, and many students attending. A big thank you goes out to Dr. Scott, who presented a faculty share that included examples of her body of work and gave excellent anecdotes and advice to our future Fine Arts educators.  She concluded her presentation: “As students discover their dreams, it is a teacher’s job to support them and encourage them to follow their heart.”
