Good Morning, The REGS department is sharing attached flyers to promote these new MAS classes. These are great upper division electives. There is currently a registration restriction, 'instructor consent required'. You can override the restriction. The department & registrar's office are trying to fix this issue. Please encourage your student to reach out to Dr. Saldana or Dr. Cruz if they have any questions. You all have a good Tuesday - Sylvia From: Lilliana Saldana <Lilliana.Saldana(a)utsa.edu&gt; Sent: Monday, May 3, 2021 6:25 PM To: Alejandra Elenes <Alejandra.Elenes(a)utsa.edu&gt;; Rachel Cruz <rachel.cruz(a)utsa.edu&gt;; Sylvia Mansour <Sylvia.Mansour(a)utsa.edu&gt; Subject: Re: MAS Music Flyers Hello Sylvia, I'm so glad you and Rachel met. I'm very happy to share the flyers for our upcoming MAS courses. We'd appreciate all the support we can get to make sure that our MAS classes make for Fall 2021. These are the courses that have the lowest enrollment (I've attached the flyers here): MAS 4953 Latinx Songwriting MAS 4953 Latinas/xs in Music and Society MAS 4953 Mexican American and Indigenous Foodways MAS 4953 Blackness in the Americas MAS 2013 Intro to Chicano Studies As you've probably seen in the class schedule, we don't have anyone enrolled in the music courses that Dr. Cruz is scheduled to teach. I hope the instructor holds are lifted so students can enroll ASAP. Also, as Dr. Cruz noted, students don't need to have a formal background in music to enroll in her two courses. We're very excited about these two MAS courses which will be included as electives in our degree plan, pending approval. I'll also be teaching a foodways class. This class might be of interest to students in the College for Health, Community, and Policy, so if you know students in that college that need an elective, please recommend this class. We'll be examining the intersection of Latinx foodways, community wellbeing, and public health policy. I'm also including a flyer for an African American Studies course cross-listed with MAS -- Blackness in the Americas. We have five seats open for this course. I'd also like to add that we still have plenty of seats open in our Intro to Chicano Studies (MAS 2013). We're hoping that freshmen are able to register for this class and fulfill their core curriculum requirements. Thank you so much for all of your support in promoting our classes! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
