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. |

Schools Meet Trauma With Understanding, Not Discipline |
by MALLORY
FALK & EVE TROEH - NPR | Pub: 06/01
|
If you know anything about New Orleans public schools, you probably know this: Hurricane Katrina wiped them out and almost all the schools
became privately run charters. Many of those schools subscribed to the no excuses discipline model — the idea that if you crack down on slight misbehavior, you can prevent bigger issues from erupting.

by BEKAH
MCNEEL - The Rivard Report | Pub: 05/31

Eight-year-old Beau Wild is thrilled to be able to pick up a ball. He’s also thrilled with the “robot hand” that allows him to do it. Born
with Sturge-Weber syndrome, Wild is unable to use his right hand. When he was 2, his doctors were able to stop his life-threatening seizures, but to do so, they had to interfere with a brain pathway that connected to his hand.
