Dear ’Runners, As you know, over the past several days our campus community has experienced some disruption due to two threats that were made against the university. In both cases, there was no reason to believe that the threats were credible. However, our first obligation to you is to provide a safe campus, which is why we asked everyone to leave the buildings that were targeted. We are working closely with the San Antonio Police Department, the FBI and other federal authorities to thoroughly investigate the threats and identify whoever may be behind them. Sadly, incidents like this are not limited to UTSA. Unfortunately, this is a time of year when many people feel uneasy because of the anniversaries of American tragedies including the Branch Davidian siege, the Oklahoma City bombing, and the Columbine High School massacre. At times like this, I urge you to remember, hatred wins when we live in fear. I refuse to let either one determine what we do as a university. Every day, we maintain a significant police presence that includes officers in and out of uniform. These officers are here to protect you. Extensive safety protocols are in place and countless individuals work tirelessly to ensure that your experiences at UTSA are good ones. While it is always important to be aware of your surroundings, I urge you to go about your regular routine. Students, attend your classes. Faculty, teach your students. Staff, continue your important work. We are strong when we stand together as the Roadrunner family. Nothing can change that. Sincerely, Pedro Reyes, Ph.D. President Ad Interim Submit a Story <mailto:coehdcomm@utsa.edu> View all Announcements <http://education.utsa.edu/awards_announcements/> Events Calendar APR 22 International Literacy Association Student Council General Meeting<http://education.utsa.edu/events/detail/international_literacy...

AERA in SA: Why Fiesta de San Antonio Offers Educational Researchers More Than “Puro Party”<https://ashegrads.wordpress.com/blog/april-2017-blog-post/> by VANESSA A. SANSONE - ASHE Grads | Pub: 04/18 For many education scholars, the month of April means one thing – AERA Annual Meeting. But for the city of San Antonio, where AERA’s 2017 meeting is being held, the month of April is synonymous with the 11-day celebration that is Fiesta de San Antonio. And as it turns out, this year’s conference will overlap with Fiesta. As a native of San Antonio, I cannot help but think of how the intersection between both major events offers AERA attendees with valuable insights beyond what they will gain from attending sessions.

The Origin of the Fiesta Medal<http://www.kens5.com/entertainment/events/fiesta/a-look-at-the-h... by ALICIA NEAVES - KENS | Pub: 04/17 It's hard to imagine Fiesta without Fiesta medals. These days, anyone and everyone can create their very own medal. Over the years, collectors have traded thousands. But how did this Fiesta craze begin? Experts say that the famed tokens date back to the 1920's thanks to King Antonio of the Texas Cavaliers. "There was actually a worn medal around the neck that was passed down by King Antonio," said James Benavides, a communications specialist with the Institute of Texan Cultures, which holds one of the earliest known King Antonio medals, handed down to the new king each year. ________________________________ Publications Working with English Language Learners in the Mainstream English Language Arts Classroom… DR.
