Dear Students,
I hope you had a good weekend in what feels like fall weather (for Texas). Maybe you even got out to the ACL Festival over the weekend?
Remember that today is the Career Expo over in the Erwin Center from 1-6pm. There are shuttles leaving from Littlefeld Fountain and from San Jac at 23rd by the stadium. Dress is business casual and you need your UT ID.
Next week is Natural Sciences Week! The Natural Sciences Council is organizing a series of events throughout the week to celebrate some of the goings-on in the College, present you with opportunities for your time here, and give you opportunities to network with other students in student groups and with our faculty. Check out the events below and on facebook, and I hope to see you there!
Best of luck in the coming week.
Yours,
Dr. Sacha Kopp
