Spring Party at UT Tyler

Recently SGA hosted their annual 80's themed spring party! As a senator, of course I attended and had a great time. I got little clips of everything that was going on and compiled it into a little montage for all of you(:

Change in student government!

The face of the Student Government Association (SGA) in UT Tyler is slowly starting to change. Here's the new secretary and also head of the SGA Communications Committee.

Study Days Added For Finals!!!!

              Starting with the 2011-2012 academic school year, UT Tyler will implement two extra study days before finals. Thanks to the hard work of the Student Government Association, SGA, during these two study days classes will be cancelled and the students will be allowed to study for his/her exams that will be coming up within the next week.
             You all may have heard of this titled "dead week" by other schools. Hopefully, with the addition of these two extra days of having class off, students will be able to cut into the late night studying and use that time to let their brain rest by sleeping. Academic affairs will look back into the change in 2012 to monitor the pros and cons that are visible. 
             Personally, I am all for the extra two days. I think it allows the student to be more productive. Usually, during the last week of class many professors are somewhat dragging the semester to an end by resorting to "busy work". Why not allow that time to be available to allow for productive studying. What do you think?

Student Government and Study Days

         Student Government Association does it again! The voice of the student body upholds their job and I believe they did a tremendous job. To learn more about SGA check out their website here.

        UT Tyler will officially hold Study Days the two days before final exams starting in long summer. They will be held on a trial basis for about 2 years. Lets hope that these days go well and that they will make it permanent. If you don't know what a Study Day is then you are missing out! A Study Day is when no classes are held a few days before final exams are given, thus giving you extra days to STUDY!!!
