Botanica Music Festival - Discount Extended Through Feb. 19
by Jo Ann Jones
Please see the below email from the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs on the upcoming Botanica Music Festival.
Thank you!
UTSA is proud to partner with the Botanica Music Festival on March 3rd. The #UTSA discount has been extended through February 19th
What is Botanica? – Family friendly event that features over 20 performers<http://botanicamusicfestival.com/lineup/> on multiple stages including Logic<https://www.youtube.com/user/LogicVEVO> and Alessia Cara<https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1EwyHfJHEKnA7kKfcGhlIw>, as well as fun activities, amazing local food and some of the best chefs of San Antonio will be there, and more. All attendees will have full and exclusive access to the rides of Six Flags and the park will debut its NEW Wonder Women Golden Lasso roller<https://twitter.com/BotanicaFest/status/961321171416440832> coaster that weekend!
Can faculty/staff/alumni use the promo code? That’s a yes. (FYI - If you are a Six Flags Fiesta Texas season ticket holder, the discount is even greater.)
What’s UTSA got to do with it? A percentage of gross ticket sales goes to scholarships – and #UTSA is hosting a VIP Zone for our community within the festival – it is great exclusive recruitment opportunity for admitted students and we look cool. :)
Is it more than music? Some of best chefs in San Antonio will be there and attendees can experience all of Six Flags Fiesta Texas. All that plus a new roller coaster.
Details:
· Dozens of live performances across multiple stages
· Chef-driven eats, food trucks and signature beverages
· Free access to Six Flags rollercoasters, rides and activities (plus the new Wonder Woman single rail coaster)
· Express Check-In for UTSA Students/Faculty/Staff/Guests plus access to UTSA VIP Zone
UTSA Student Discount Extended Until Feb. 19

UTSA and the San Antonio Express-News are hosting a town hall meeting this Thursday, Feb. 15 to discuss the #MeToo movement. The event, #MeToo: Where do we go from here?, begins at 7 p.m. in the Buena Vista Street Building Theater (BVB 1.326) at the UTSA Downtown Campus. The event is free and open to the public.
During the forum, Leticia Van de Putte, former Texas state senator, Trish DeBerry, CEO of the DeBerry Group, Michael Baumann, UTSA professor of psychology and Geraldine Garcia, former assistant police chief of the San Antonio Police Department, will discuss the social dialogue triggered by the #MeToo movement and the changes it is expected to trigger in the workplace and in politics moving forward. Francine Romero, associate professor and associate dean of the College of Public Policy, will moderate.

NCAA Final Four Volunteer Opportunity
by Jo Ann Jones
Please see the below email from the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs.
We were recently notified of an additional opportunity to volunteer for the NCAA Final Four and this one is inside the Alamodome during game time. They are hoping to fill these slots with trusted members of the #UTSA community. These spots will not be made available to the public. However, staff/faculty can include a friend/spouse/partner to volunteer. Alumni and select students who have not taken other Final Four opportunities are accepted as well.
Details:
We are looking for friendly, helpful volunteers to work the Club and Upper level at the Alamodome when the NCAA Men's Final Four Tournament comes to San Antonio on March 31 (Saturday) and April 2 (Monday)! NOTE: This is Easter weekend, so check your calendars before committing to volunteer.
We will be assisting the Alamodome staffing company, Staff Pro, in various customer service areas. The main duty will include helping attendees get to their seats and providing directions to restrooms or event spaces and answering questions they may have. It will involve long hours of standing, some traveling up and down stairs and couple of late nights, BUT...
This is a great opportunity to enjoy the excitement of the Final Four and share your love of sports, San Antonio, collegiate basketball or just bragging rights that you've been to a Final Four!
These events don't come around every year for our city, and you have a path to being among the VIPs, who will be here to watch the games.
Parking is tight in downtown, so our volunteers will meet at Wolff Stadium and be bussed to the dome and back. To be recognized by patrons as VIP volunteers, you will be provided a special color sweater/polo to identify you as a Club/Upper level volunteer, and you'll add your own black pants and shoes, plus white shirt to complete the ensemble. Men can wear their own ties. Women will be provided with a neck decoration.
The Saturday schedule for semi-final games begins at 1 pm, reporting to Wolff Stadium for uniforms and bus transportation to the Alamodome, and ends back at Wolff at approximately midnight, depending upon game lengths and overtimes.
Monday's schedule involves one final evening game, so reporting time is 4 pm at Wolff, game time is approximately 8 pm, and it will be another late finish, arriving near midnight at Wolff Stadium.
There will be an orientation at the Alamodome on 3/24 1-3 pm to provide a tour of the layout, station responsibilities, event schedules, and other vital information you'll need.
Here are the instructions for signing up to volunteer:
