Martina Stewart's Reflection on the UAAC Campus- Wide Inservice: MUSE

I attended the March Campus-wide In-service presented by Patrick McShane of MUSE.  I had known about MUSE primarily as a portal for students to explore involvement and engagement opportunities on campus.  This was a helpful session in that I learned about other exciting ways students can participate in MUSE.

First off, students (and ADVISORS !) can join MUSE to receive emails about upcoming events and programs.  Here are some of the options for engagement through MUSE:

• MUSE Lunchtime Lectures:  free lunch and faculty lecture relating to MUSE Theme Year      
• MUSE Night Out: small group of students and faculty attend a campus event, and then go out for dinner and discussion
• MUSE Discussion Groups: these are student lead, and students are trained and paid to facilitate
• MUSE Internships: paid on campus internships with a strong learning component

As soon as I returned to my office, I joined MUSE .  This will help me to be better informed about events and activities that may interest the students I advise!

And finally, Patrick promised an exciting Theme Year, book and keynote speaker for next year. We promised not to spill the beans, so you’ll have to wait to learn more about this….

UAAC Food Drive Success

In the month of December Steve Hadley, Director of Campus- Wide Advisor Education and Development,  challenged UAAC members to gather food and personal care supplies to fill the donation bin outside of the University Counseling Center.  Members from around campus brought nearly 100 food and personal care items.  

Thank you to all UAAC members that participated in this holiday drive.  The Counseling Center's bin is located outside of their office in the Student Services Building Rm. 426.  The bin remains outside of their office year round for anyone looking to donate or for students in need.
