The Office of International Education was deeply saddened to hear about the devastation and loss in Nepal due to the earthquake on Saturday. Our thoughts are with the Nepalese Community during this extremely difficult time. We wanted to reach out to all of our F-1 students from Nepal to offer our support and services. These extended resources will be available starting Tuesday, April 28th:

We will provide access to a phone in a private space for those wanting to reach family members. Calls to the Nepal region will be free of charge. Please come to Office of International Education Reception Area, Room 113 and we will assist you with this service.

We will have an advisor available on Tuesday 04/28/15 at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., as well as on Wednesday 04/29/15 at 2 p.m. for group meetings to answer any questions you may have related to your immigration status, travel and visa renewal, funding and leave of absence.

We will prioritize travel requests and will have those processed within the same day they are submitted for those students who have immediate travel plans.

• Licensed counselors are on-hand to assist our students experiencing anxiety associated with the disaster. To make an immediate appointment with a counselor, please call 817-272-3671 or visit Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) in 303 Ransom Hall. A Clinician on Duty(COD) is available to assist students experiencing anxiety, sadness and loss on an walk-in basis between 8:00am-5:00pm. CAPS is offering a MAVS Talk Grief Workshop this Thursday 4/30/2015 at 3:30 PM which will be held in Preston Hall in room 104. Please feel free to contact CAPS at 817 272 3671 for any further assistance.

• We are working with the Nepal Student Association (NSA) on a candlelight vigil for Wednesday, April 29th at 7:30PM on the Library Mall. Please watch the NSA page for more information about the vigil.

Of course you are also welcome to come and meet with an advisor in our office during our regular advising hours. You can find our advising hours at: http://www.uta.edu/oie/?page=services&service=advising

“How the Digital Revolution is Reviving Natural History”

As western culture retreats from nature to move indoors and online, not all hope is lost for natural history.
Our tech-centrism has also opened a new portal for exploration of the world around us. In particular, digital
photography and videography have become gateways to natural history. In this talk,
Alex Wild talks about this shift in the cultural landscape and discusses how scientists can better use these new media
