Re: [Coehd] COEHDnews -- Week of Fri, February 17, 2017

Dear COEHD Colleagues, I am very sad to inform you that Dr. John Morris passed away yesterday, Feb 16, following a brief illness. John began his career at UTSA with a joint appointment in IDS (then, the Division of Education) and the Political Science/Geography Department. Dr. Patricia McGee, retired EDP Assoc Professor, is in the process of planning a celebration of John's life. More information will be available at a later date.

What Elizabeth Warren and so many other women can teach us<http://www.expressnews.com/news/news_columnists/elaine_ayala/articl... by ELAINE AYALA - San Antonio Express-News | Pub: 02/13 “Warren persisted, and that’s what all of us have done and need to do,” said Ellen Riojas Clark, a UTSA professor emeritus now out of the workplace. “But it’s different for us.” Speaking up comes with risk, she says. “A young person has to be very cognizant of how to respond. Be polite, but strong. Have manos de jarro,” a phrase that refers to heavy arms at your side that “can’t be moved.” “You won’t have the whole world watching” as witnesses, she said. At one point in her career, she sued the UT System, she said. “No one talked to me.” She fought back by looking at people right in the eye and saying, “Good morning,” she said. “Use body language, come from strength.” UTSA to offer Faculty February special for home basketball games<http://www.utsa.edu/today/2017/02/facultyfebruary.html> by UTSA ATHLETICS - UTSA Today | Pub: 02/13 UTSA Athletics has introduced a special offer for university faculty and staff members for the remainder of February.
