8 Ways to Help Your Daughter Deal with Mean Girls<http://www.womansday.com/relationships/family-friends/a58448/how-to-help-...>
by LAUREL ANN-DOOLEY - Woman’s Day | Pub: 03/30
Scenario: Your daughter's (now-former) friend took her phone when she wasn't looking and texted your daughter's crush, begging him to invite her to the winter formal. Your daughter feels humiliated, betrayed, and hurt. First, just listen. "The hard part is to leave judgment at the door and not minimize what has happened," says Christopher Leeth, professor of counseling at the University of Texas at San Antonio. "It's natural to want to say things like 'don't let them get to you' or 'it's not that big a deal.' That's not how [your] daughter feels."

Did you know there was a drug that prevents people from getting HIV? It's called 'Prep’. The FDA approved the medication in 2012 and it has yet to take off here in Texas. Millions of Americans are expected to become uninsured under the new American Healthcare Act and this could mean less access to life-saving medications like Prep.

When La Raza Faculty and Administrator Association, or LRFAA, was founded 30 years ago, the organization sought to voice the concerns and perspectives of University of Texas at San Antonio Latina and Latino students, faculty and staff in university governance, program development, and student and faculty initiatives. While some improvements have been made, UTSA continues to exclude key stakeholders in academic leadership, faculty hires and, most recently, its selection of the next president of UTSA.

Many were moved by the story; perhaps no one more than Keli Rosa Cabunoc, the UTSA graduate student who played the young labor activist who led the 1938 pecan shellers strike. It’s regarded as the first major milestone in the Mexican American struggle for justice in U.S. history, though Texas students aren’t taught about her. An estimated 10,000 to 12,000 workers were involved, the great majority of them Mexican and Mexican-American women who walked off the job for several months to protest cuts in starvation wages and unbearable working conditions.

by JOSIE MÉNDEZ-NEGRETE - The Rivard Report | Pub: 03/27
Originally from Yuma, Ariz., César E. Chávez relocated with his family to Sal Si Puedes, a barrio in East San Jose, Calif. A complex man, he internalized the inequalities of race and class early on, with his family’s loss of their land during the Great Depression. At age 17, he served his country by enlisting in the Navy, and two years later found himself working in the agricultural fields. There were no others jobs available for Mexicans besides la pisca, the harvest. He soon became active in a self-help and civil rights organization, Community Services Organization (CSO), situated a few blocks from where his family lived.

Sent on behalf of Dr. Edwin Barea:
Dear Friends,
We are excited to announced a public lecture that will be impactful for our students.
The College of Sciences and the RISE/MARC Programs would like to extend an invitation to attend a public lecture featuring Dr. Erika Camacho. Dr. Camacho is a professor of mathematics at Arizona State University and an excellent role model for our students. She is the daughter of Mexican immigrant parents who once sold clothes in the back alleys in East Los Angeles. In high-school she was a student of Jaime Escalante who was featured in the movie Stand and Deliver. Against all odds, she did her undergraduate at Wellesley and earned her doctorate degree in Cornell University.
“The story of what she had to overcome, and her desire for other Latinas to do the same “is a very passionate topic for me,” she said. “I was born in Mexico (Guadalajara). My mom was a house cleaner. She read a lot and was good at numbers. My stepdad was a janitor. I started working when I was 13 years old. I worked from 8 to 8 in the streets of Los Angeles.”
Title: Knocking Down Walls: Fulfilling the Promise of “Stand and Deliver”
Date: Thursday, April 13
Time: 6:30 PM
Location: MB 0.104

The first coffee is scheduled this afternoon from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. in the UTSA Ski Lodge on the Main Campus. Seating is limited to the first 50 people who RSVP but an RSVP is not needed in order for someone to attend.
Dr. Reyes’ team created an event on his Facebook page (facebook.com/PedroReyesUTSA) to promote the coffee. We will keep you apprised of additional coffee sessions as they are scheduled at various locations.
We would encourage you to share the details of today’s Coffee with the President in your respective areas. A graphic for Facebook is attached. You can also share this video<https://youtu.be/IM0tpeKj0BE> and this UTSA Today story<http://www.utsa.edu/today/2017/03/coffeepresident.html>, which promote the coffee series.
Please also let your colleagues know that Dr. Reyes has a Facebook account (facebook.com/PedroReyesUTSA) and Twitter account (@UTSAPresOffice). He is eager to connect with the university community on social media.
Thanks so much for spreading the word.
Best,
Christi

Subject: William T. Grant Funding Opportunities for Scholars of Color
Dear Colleague,
The William T. Grant Foundation supports high-quality research that has the potential to advance theory, build empirical evidence, and improve policy and practice. The Foundation strives to support a diverse group of researchers in terms of race, ethnicity, gender, and seniority. We especially encourage high-quality research projects led by African American, Latino, Native American, and Asian American researchers. I am reaching out to you to ask that you share this information with members of your committee and your valued colleagues.
OUR FOCUS AREAS
The Foundation is currently focused on funding research that increases our understanding of:
• programs, policies, and practices that reduce inequality in youth outcomes, and
• strategies to improve the use of research evidence in ways that benefit youth.
OUR PROGRAMS
The Foundation has two primary funding opportunities for researchers:
William T. Grant Scholars Program is a career development grant tailored to researchers in the social, behavioral, and health sciences who received a doctoral or medical degree within seven years of application. The program funds five-year research and mentoring plans that significantly expand junior researchers’ expertise in new disciplines, methods, and content areas.
The online application will open on April 24, 2017 at 3:00 PM EST. All applications must be received by July 6, 2017 at 3:00 PM EST.
* Download the application guide: http://wtgrantfoundation.org/library/uploads/2017/03/2017-Scholars-Progra...
* Browse the Scholars webpage for our program priorities and funding criteria: http://wtgrantfoundation.org/grants/william-t-grant-scholars-program
Research Grants target researchers at all career stages for high-quality empirical projects that fit either of our current focus areas. Research grants are awarded three times each year: winter, spring, and summer. Research grants typically range between $100,000 and $1,000,000 and cover two to four years of support, depending upon the focus area.
