Invitation

Dear TAPP Students,

SAC's Office of Student Life is offering a training series for students interested in developing as leaders--as a future teacher, that's you!  They will hold a several sessions on how to run a meeting, come up with icebreakers, plan an event, and much more.  These helpful sessions are free and they start this Tuesday, September 14, from 1 to 3 p.m. in the Loftin Student Center 2nd floor "Craft Room."  All the sessions will be from 1 to 3 on either a Tuesday or Thursday in September and October.  If you would like to attend, you need to contact Tyler Archer at 210-486-0125. I encourage you to take advantage of these sessions, especially if you have decided to get more involved in campus life this year. If you attend ALL the sessions, you'll receive a Student Leadership Certificate for your portfolio.
