UTSA is responding to the COVID-19 outbreak with a commitment to supporting the safety of the university community while enabling the academic progress of students. Here is your digest of university news and tips.

Yes, it’s another Monday, ’Runners, but there’s incentive in the day to live your best life. To start off, it’s National Scrabble Day, so while on your break, grab your mobile device and play a virtual game with a friend across town or across the country, or go at it old school and seek out your board game to play with your nearest and dearest at home.

|
And if that’s not enough incentive to make this a great Monday, then (most) Texans will rejoice that it’s also National Peach Cobbler Day. Whether you make it from scratch or pop a frozen ready-made into the oven in time for dinner (Lunch? Breakfast? No…no…we take that idea back. See the “Eat Better, Live Better” entry, below.), it’ll be the perfect way to wrap up a late spring day of work or study.

This new video expresses
why the UTSA spirit remains strong and resilient. No matter where you are, now and forever, we are
still Roadrunners.

ALL ABOUT CONNECTIONS: This week’s virtual town hall meetings will
help you stay connected with friends and experts.
|
|
GET CREATIVE: Join Airbnb, Adobe and college students across the U.S., U.K. and Canada in the beginner-friendly
College+Airbnb Jam designathon to identify solutions that matter. Student teams of two to three will
collaborate virtually on an interactive app prototype for a chance to pitch your solution to industry judges and win money. No experience necessary, since Adobe will provide training on using its XD tool (available to you through our Adobe Creative Campus partnership). The event is April 24–27; register by April 23.

MARKET YOURSELF: The Student Leadership Center hosts live workshops every Monday to
help you develop marketable skills. All workshop opportunities are outlined on the
Student Leadership Center page on RowdyLink.

SHOW YOUR SUPPORT: It’s National Collegiate Recovery Day on Wednesday, April 15. Take a
picture of yourself wearing purple and post it on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook and tag @UTSArecovery to show your fellow Roadrunners who are in recovery your support.
