Graduate students from the Department of Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching (ILT) are collecting donations for unaccompanied migrant children in San Antonio as part of their service-learning course, C&I 5933.
For the last month, the students have been working closely with a local health services organization to provide aid to these migrant children. To continue their efforts, the students are collecting items to donate to the non-profit. These items include: female
undergarments, hygiene products, stuffed animals, hair products and accessories, art and craft supplies, and journals.
A donation box has been set up in the ILT main office, located in the Main Building room 2.210 until July 8, 2014. All of the items donated are tax deductible.
For more information or if you wish to donate, contact Dr. Elizabeth Pate at 210-458-5969.

It included a photo of a woman frowning with the caption, "Help me. I'm poor."

(SAN ANTONIO CURRENT) -- "You have to educate yourself about the culture before you can make art about the culture," said Easy Lee of Third Root toward the end of the Black and Brown Sounds panel last Wednesday. Education via culture seemed to be the theme
of the evening, with Cervantes and UTSA's Mexican American and African American programs curating the panel of musicians and scholars. On tap for discussion was the history and culture of Afromestizaje identity—the third root—and how music acts as a venue
for identity expression.
