AY
2017-18 Alvarez International Study Fund Request for Proposals |
|
In an effort to enhance understanding of Mexico and Latin America, the Carlos and Malú Alvarez International Study Fund, offers scholarships and enrichment funds to defray the cost to students
participating in UTSA Study Abroad programs. Programs must involve travel to one the following areas: unrestricted regions of Mexico, Central or South America. The International Study Fund is directly supported by distributions from the Carlos and Malú Alvarez
Endowment for Student Success. The endowment goal is to directly benefit the student recipients and encourage participation in study abroad activities, thus the funds cannot be used for program related expenses, such as faculty stipends, travel, and educational
materials. |

Two researchers from the University of Texas at San Antonio are creating a database highlighting educator discipline after they are accused
of improper relationships. The researchers hope to get a deeper understanding of the epidemic of these allegations in the state of Texas. "There are 222 kids from last year and their families whose lives have been turned upside down," said Dr. David Thompson,
a professor of educational leadership at UTSA. The Texas Education Agency opened 222 investigations in the fiscal year 2015-2016 alone that involved inappropriate relationships between educators and students.
