In August, I sent out to the HDFS ListServ information about the 2013 Texas Children's Child Life Conference and Student Seminar that is being held today and tomorrow. If you attended either or both of the sessions, we would love to see your comments!

If you plan to graduate this Fall (2013), you must actually apply to graduate. The deadline to apply to graduate with a $25 fee is this Friday, October 4.

We are interested to know what you guys are doing after graduation? Alumni - where are you working? have you gone on to grad school - where? what is your major? Current students - have you already been offered a job opportunity that you would like to share?

I hope your semester is off to a great start. I am sure you have been hearing about the College of Education scholarships! I wanted everyone to have the link for information about applying for these scholarships. COE offers many. The deadline for application is February 3. Good Luck!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving break. As most of you already know the CITE Lab in the College of Education is a popular place for students to catch up on schoolwork or to sit and relax in between classes. Whether you use it occasionally or on a regular basis it is a place all students visit from time-to-time. CITE offers an array of services and I highly suggest that you utilize them. To find out more about what CITE has to offer watch the two brief videos. Have a great Monday and a wonderful week!

Hello College of Education Students,

I hope that you are having a wonderful Monday. The time has come when the majority of courses require their students to submit their research papers. Research papers can be difficult, and if you find that you are struggling to find research to conduct your papers it would be beneficial for you to contact the Educational Librarian, Shawn Vaillancourt. He is available to assist you with any of your research needs. Do not hesitate and stop by the M.D. Anderson Library to give him a visit. Check out Mr. Vaillancourt in the following short video to out more on the services he provides and the multiple ways to reach him. Have a wonderful week and I will speak with you soon.
