Additional Opportunities for All Students: The Truman Scholarship<https://www.truman.gov/candidates/how-become-truman-scholar> Nominate a student for the Truman Scholarship! Do you know a student who is a leader on campus or in their community? Are they looking to pursue a career in public service, broadly defined as a career in government, education, or the non-profit sector? The Truman Scholarship identifies future leaders who are at the junior level (in their third year at UTSA, regardless of transfer history and credit standing), and provides awards of $30,000 toward graduate school tuition. UTSA is allowed to nominate up to 4 students plus 3 additional transfer students. If you would like to nominate a student, please email andrew.chapman2(a)utsa.edu<mailto:andrew.chapman2@utsa.edu> the name of the student, UTSA ID, and a sentence about how they have demonstrated leadership. Nominees will typically have a 3.7 and higher GPA and extensive involvement in their community. Each year, up to 75 students nationwide receive the distinction of being named a "change maker" by the Truman Scholarship Foundation. If at any time you have questions or thoughts, please reach out to us. We appreciate the insight and experience that Advising brings to the Honors College student experience.

Early Intervention Minor will be discontinued

by advising＠lists.it.utsa.edu

Dear All, The ILT department wanted to remind all advisors that the Early Intervention Minor will be discontinued. The lead faculty for the BCaBA (SPE) courses (SPE 3303 & SPE 4683) has left UTSA and the ILT department has no plans to replace this position. This affects students who were planning to pursue the BCaBA certification in combination with the Early Intervention (EIN) minor. Students who have already declared the minor can complete it. However, they are no longer eligible for the BCaBA test. The EIN minor will be discontinued. The 20-22 catalog no longer lists the minor as an option. Moving forward no student regardless of catalog can declare the EIN minor anymore. According to the registrar's office the EIN code in BANNER cannot be disabled at this point. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to e-mail me directly. Thank you - Sylvia Sylvia Mansour The University of Texas at San Antonio Director Academic Advising One UTSA Circle San Antonio, TX 78249 Sylvia.mansour(a)utsa.edu<mailto:Laura.garcia@utsa.edu> UTSA is closely monitoring the coronavirus.
