We are proud to announce a new mentorship program with the Association of Professionals in Student Affairs . Members of APSA have volunteered to serve as mentors to graduate students in HEASPA.  Students can select their own mentors, or submit their interests and we will pair you with a mentor.

• Mentors and graduate students can meet as frequently as their schedule allows
• Great opportunity to learn about areas of campus
• Gain insight into professional life at UT

If you are interested in participating in the mentor program, please sign up on the Google Document by Thursday, November 11: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AozcoqS82E3TdEp5bDdjVE1pT1pWUDJfejcxMnYyWUE&hl=en

As the semester heads toward the final stretch, we are excited to set the date for the annual holiday party. Dr. Sharpe has graciously agreed to host again this year. The party will be on Tuesday, Dec. 7 and start at 6 p.m. His home is located at 1805 Exposition Blvd, Austin, TX, 78703.

If you will be attending, please RSVP to the following google document so that we can let Dr. Sharpe know how many guests to expect. Also, if you would like, feel free to wear your favorite holiday sweater to celebrate the occasion. We hope that many of you will be able to join us to celebrate the end of the semester and get together before heading off for winter break.
