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. |

Language
alters our experience of time |

ATHANASOPOULOS - The Conversation | Pub: 06/15

It turns out, Hollywood got it half right. In the film Arrival, Amy Adams plays linguist Louise Banks who is trying to decipher an alien
language. She discovers the way the aliens talk about time gives them the power to see into the future – so as Banks learns their language, she also begins to see through time. As one character in the movie says: “Learning a foreign language rewires your brain.”

Abbott
signs David’s Law against cyberbullying |
by ALIA
MALIK - San Antonio Express-News | Pub: 06/13
|
With little fanfare, Gov. Greg Abbott has signed Senate Bill 179, known as David’s Law for a high school student from Alamo Heights who
was subjected to fierce cyberbullying before he killed himself last year. The law allows temporary injunctions against social media accounts used to harass or bully children and criminalizes electronic harassment of minors with the intent of causing them to
harm themselves. It also requires schools to speedily notify parents if their children have been bullied and to notify the parents of children accused of bullying. It will take effect Sept. 1. Abbott signed it late Friday.

In San Antonio, a community-based effort called MAS for the Masses continues to reach students. A local KIPP charter school and Southwest
High School offer MAS dual credit classes in conjunction with Palo Alto College. And Stevens High School in Northside ISD offers a Mexican American literature class. UTSA offers summertime MAS teacher training. San Antonio’s strength also can be counted in
the support of the MAS conference. UTSA hosted it and its co-sponsors included PAC’s Center for Mexican American Studies, the advocacy group Somos MAS, the Comparative Mexican American Studies Program at Our Lady of the Lake University and San Antonio College’s
Center for MAS.

Why are teachers so tired at the end of the school year? Maybe it's because they spent the last nine months juggling a million things while
still shaping the lives and minds of the students in their care.
