A Message from Dr. Lamas
Dear Mavericks,
The spring semester is off to a great start! There are a number of exciting events happening over the next several months that you should be sure to attend. Please visit the Calendar of Events section in the newsletter.
We also have some things to be proud of …
- The Movin’ Mavs were honored in Austin February 8 by Gov. Rick Perry and the University of Texas System Board of Regents for their 2006 National Intercollegiate Wheelchair Basketball Association title. Following the meeting with the governor, the team was brought onto the House of Representatives floor, where a special proclamation – H.R. 602 – that honors the team was read aloud. The Movin’ Mavs also met with State Sen. Chris Harris, who presented them with an additional Senate resolution recognizing the team’s achievement.
- The Shorthorn is a finalist again for the prestigious Crown Award that honors the best college newspapers in the United States.
- The Office for Students with Disabilities along with Career Services was recently cited by the U.S. Department of Labor for their work in placing college students in summer and permanent jobs. Kudos to all who work with our students.
We are also excited about the progress taking place at the Maverick Activities Center, or MAC. The project is shaping up nicely. Keep track of the progress by visiting the Web cam at http://www.uta.edu/mac. The first phase will be complete in early September. We are all looking forward to the fall opening!
In addition to the large-scale events, our staff continues to provide many valuable services and programs for our students. If this is your first time to receive the newsletter, check out the fall editions by visiting the new Student Affairs Web page.
It is an exciting and busy time for the Division of Student Affairs. We hope to see you at many future events or utilizing our programs and services.
Best regards,
Frank Lamas
Vice President for Student Affairs
SACS Team Arriving Soon
The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, or SACS, will send a review team to UT Arlington from February 26 to March 2 as part of the University’s reaffirmation review process.
The process of reaffirming the school’s accreditation occurs every 10 years and is essential in allowing UT Arlington to award federal financial aid. In connection with this process, the University’s academic community developed a Quality Enhancement Plan, or QEP, designed to foster active learning as a means to higher order thinking (e.g., the ability to apply, analyze, synthesize and evaluate information) as an integral component of the school’s educational strategy for enhanced student learning.
For more information about the reaccreditation visit and the QEP, see http://sacs.uta.edu/.
Movin’ Mavs Meet with Governor
The Movin’ Mavs wheelchair basketball team shared a few minutes with Gov. Rick Perry, who honored the players for winning the national championship in 2006.
The team was also honored by the Texas State House of Representatives, which passed a resolution honoring the team’s achievement, and the University of Texas System Board of Regents.
Perry was given a game ball from the team and said he would display it proudly.
“This ball will go up on the case right along with my Spurs, Rockets and Mavericks balls,” the governor said.
The Movin’ Mavs were winners of the National Intercollegiate Wheelchair Basketball Association title last season, which was the team’s seventh national championship.
Danny Fik
Student Profile: In each issue of the newsletter, a student in one of the departments in Student Affairs will be highlighted to show the contribution students make in the division.
Danny Fik, a 22-year-old public relations major, is the starting point guard for the Movin’ Mavs wheelchair basketball team as well as its captain.
Danny came here from Highland, Calif., where he graduated from Arrowhead Christian Academy. Born with spina bifida and paralyzed from his chest down, Danny was introduced to wheelchair sports through an Abilities Expo in Anaheim, Calif.
He played tennis and basketball as a young athlete and was on the U.S. national wheelchair tennis team for six years as the top-ranked junior player. He traveled with the team to Italy, France and Switzerland.
He began his junior basketball career with the National Wheelchair Basketball Association Junior Division team, the Rancho Renegades, based in Downey, Calif., under venerable coach Lisa Hilborn.
Through his training and work, Danny was awarded a wheelchair basketball scholarship to UT Arlington. Through a tryout process, Danny was selected for the U.S. national junior team that won the International Wheelchair Basketball Federation Junior World Championship in the fall of 2005.
Danny has been an instrumental piece of UT Arlington’s wheelchair basketball puzzle for four years and has been indispensable to the team as a defensive spark plug and offensive leader. His outgoing “California” personality makes him a favorite among friends and fans.
Danny Fik’s Favorites
Favorite class: Communications graphics taught by Kathryn Kroll
Favorite teacher: Movin’ Mavs Coach Jim Hayes. “Coach has given me an opportunity that I will never forget. To play basketball for UTA and represent our school and community has been an awesome experience. The support for the team and the players is the best in the country!”
Favorite food: Chinese
Favorite Arlington restaurant: Nizza Pizza
Favorite campus hangout: “Our apartments at Meadow Run. We can put on a great pool party!”
Favorite career highlight: “Winning the NWBA Collegiate Division Championship last year and rushing the court, cutting down the nets and being recognized as the best college team in the country.”
Office for Students with Disabilities
Department Profile: In each issue of the newsletter, a different department within Student Affairs will be highlighted to show what it does and how it’s helping build better students.
One office on campus is designated to provide services for students with disabilities, through which documentation of various disabilities and determination of reasonable accommodations are provided.
The Office for Students with Disabilities is committed to serve the UT Arlington community by complying with federal law while making every effort possible to help students with disabilities attain quality educational objectives as well as promote self-awareness and self-advocacy skills.
The office receives and maintains disability-related documents, certifies eligibility for services, determines reasonable accommodations and develops plans for the provision of such accommodations for students with disabilities. Staff members complete this goal through individual disability counseling, collaboration with faculty and staff, educational outreach, referrals for other services both on- and off-campus, assistive technology and the provision of auxiliary aids.
The Office for Students with Disabilities also administers and manages the services provided in the Adaptive Resource Center, which is a unique, open computing lab for students registered with OSD. At the center, students can use software and hardware designed to help compensate for their disabilities. Located in Room 101 at the far west end of University Hall, the center also provides and implements many of the accommodations authorized by the office.
Types of accommodations and test-taking assistance might include using readers, writers and scribes, extended time with a proctor, using video screen magnification, a computer or a word processor with a proctor, enlarging a test, tape recording classes, providing alternate formats for educational materials as well as a testing environment with fewer distractions and adaptive hardware and software programs.

In addition, the university can use the system to communicate emergency messages, such as school closings. In about a year, the service will be expanded to include the opportunity for departments and student organizations to form their own text messaging network.
Mobile Campus is a service from Student Congress for the campus community.

Student Publications
The Shorthorn staff is anxiously waiting until March to hear if one of its proudest winning streaks will continue.
The paper is a finalist for the Crown Award, which designates the best college newspapers in America by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association in New York. Finalists receive either a Gold Crown Award, which goes to the top tier of college newspapers, or a Silver Crown, which goes to the second tier.
The Shorthorn has been fortunate enough to win the Gold Crown the last three years and has won either Gold or Silver the past six years in a row. Both are the longest such streaks in the newspaper’s history. The winners will be announced in New York during spring break.
What is more gratifying is when Shorthorn staffers are chosen for prestigious internships. Tracie Morales, who last fall was the paper’s news editor, now works in Washington, D.C., as an intern for the Hispanic Link News Service. Plus this summer, Tracie will intern in Portland for The Oregonian, widely considered by journalists to be one of the best newspapers in America. We hope to hear about other students gaining internships in the coming weeks.
A couple of students and a couple of us old-timers will also be learning more about how to use the Web better to reach readers. We’ll be attending a new media workshop in Nashville at the end of March along with college journalists from around the country, hoping to bring back ideas to use on TheShorthorn.com. Already, we have used the site to show off interactive features, including an audio slide show of a Palestinian student adjusting to life in America and a video of the recent Native American Student Association Pow-Wow.
The Shorthorn has been working hard with an array of special projects this semester: a series on black history on campus, a Homecoming special section, an upcoming Career Guide, and the annual Best of UTA section.
We’ll also be covering the women’s and men’s basketball teams as they approach March Madness. Our reporters will be filing stories from Houston, the site of the Southland Conference Tournament in March. And if either team goes to the NCAA Tournament, The Shorthorn will be there as well, bringing the latest to the university community.
Leadership Center
The Leadership Center and Student Governance are excited about Slice of Leadership IV: The Texas Leadership Consortium’s 14th annual Leadership Conference. Students will have the opportunity to attend the conference on February 23 at Eastfield College in Mesquite. This year’s theme is “The New Face of Leadership.” Students will attend educational sessions that will explore the leadership tools needed to meet the needs of our rapidly changing world. We are excited to give our students the chance to develop their leadership skills and meet students from other colleges and universities.
The Fall Meet and Greet held Oct. 25 was a huge success for the Leadership Academy. Alumnus Lan Ngo from Kforce Recruiting was our guest speaker and provided the students with insight on the challenges they will face when entering the work force and the importance of balancing career and home life. Also, 31 new members were inducted into the Academy, and marketing student Andrea Sample graduated as a Leadership Academy Scholar.
This year’s Meet and Greet Induction Ceremony will be March 21 from 2-4 p.m. in the UC Palo Duro Lounge. New Academy members will be recognized and awarded a certificate of recognition. We will begin a new tradition of recognizing three graduating seniors for their achievements on and off campus, leadership qualities and academic excellence. Four of our graduating Peer Leadership Trainers will be recognized. The reception will be held for students to meet our new members and mingle with faculty, staff and guests.
Theatre arts sophomore Timothy Paul Brown will perform in the Tony Award-winning musical Urinetown, presented by the Department of Theatre Arts. He will play Robby the Stockfish and UGC Executive #2. Urinetown will be presented in the Mainstage Theatre, which is in 174 Fine Arts Building. Performances are at 8 p.m. February 28 and March 1-3, and at 2:30 p.m. March 4. Break a leg, Timothy.
Big congratulations to junior Katie Rose, who was accepted into the bachelor’s of science in nursing program. Katie is ready to take on the challenges the program will present and we know she will make a great nurse. Way to go, Katie.
Movin’ Mavs
The Movin’ Mavs wheelchair basketball team is off and rollin’ with a successful tournament in November and an accelerated learning curve in January. The defending national champion of the NWBA Collegiate Division started the season with three new starters and two new players on the bench on the road to defending its title.
After a 3-0 start at a conference tournament in Stillwater, Okla., the Movin’ Mavs went to Columbia, Mo., to play in the first crossover (North Conference teams vs. South Conference teams) tournament of the year. The Mavs went 2-3 at this tournament, but took things in stride, keeping the games close throughout and coming away with some good learning experiences for the new players on the roster.
So far this season, the Mavs have been led by the play of junior kinesiology major Aaron Gouge and senior public relations major Danny Fik. Freshman kinesiology major David Wilkes has established himself as a strong presence, and increasingly good play from junior kinesiology major Tyler Garner gives Coach Jim Hayes high hopes for the remainder of the season. Freshman kinesiology major James Patin, junior public relations major Jay Russell, and freshman undeclared walk-on Jeff Sales will all be counted on for important contributions in the coming tournaments.
“We are very appreciative of the support that this team has received from our friends in the Arlington community and our supporters on the UT Arlington campus,” said Coach Hayes. “This support has always helped separate our team from some of the other collegiate programs in what we can do to help our players benefit from their college experiences both on and off the court.”
The Movin’ Mavs will finish their season with tournaments at the University of Illinois on February 23-24 followed by the NWBA Collegiate National Championship Tournament at Edinboro University in Pennsylvania on March 22-25.
Office for Students with Disabilities
The Office for Students with Disabilities was busy this fall helping students complete their academic requirements. The office provided 777 individual accommodation letters to faculty, helped to proctor and accommodate 626 exams and produced more than 52 different texts in alternative media for students with disabilities.
In addition, the office updated its Web site to include a new OSD calendar. This useful tool will help students who visit the site keep track of University academic events, OSD programs and deadlines, as well as put them in touch with outside activities and agencies that might be of interest to individuals with disabilities. To view information on this calendar, go to http://www.uta.edu/events/main.php?calendar=osd.
The department is currently preparing for the Workforce Recruitment Program in conjunction with UT Arlington’s Department of Career Services. This program works by finding qualified college students with disabilities through offices like ours and inviting them to interview with the program’s recruiter who will be coming to campus on February 7.
The WRP at UT Arlington was recently cited in a news release by the U.S. Department of Labor as helping “rank Texas fourth in the number of college students and recent graduates with disabilities who have been placed nationwide in summer and permanent jobs.”
Staff also participated in UT Arlington’s Preview Day, training on neuropsychological evaluations at Collin County Community College, and a customer service training with the Department of Human Resources. Assistant Director Penny Acrey recently presented a workshop at the National Association of Social Workers State Conference in Arlington on “Disability and Practice.”
Office of Student Judicial Affairs and Legal Services
The office has a new online look. Please visit our Web site at: http://www.uta.edu/studentaffairs/sja-ls
In fall 2006, 172 students utilized Student Legal Services. Over the break, Attorney for Students Keisha Dicks attended the University Student Legal Services Western Regional Conference in Las Vegas, keeping up on the hot legal topics affecting students.
Student Judicial Affairs adjudicated 213 allegations of code violations during fall 2006. Tami Tucker, Director of Student Judicial Affairs, and Andrea Barefield, Judicial Coordinator for Residence Life, attended the Association of Student Judicial Affairs National Conference in Clearwater Beach, Fla., this month. Andrea and Tami attended sessions on legislative updates, legal issues, hazing, Facebook, academic integrity, housing and many other topic areas.

Also, Student Activities will have 12 students and staff working with the Catalina Environmental Leadership Program at its camp in California, landscaping, planting trees, and creating hiking trails. Nine students and staff working with Habitat for Humanity’s Collegiate Challenge in Tahlequah, Okla., will build houses for low-income families. Both trips filled up within a matter of days after being announced in January.
Student Activities and UTA Volunteers have announced that this year’s Big Event community service project will take place April 14. A committee of staff, students, and faculty from across campus has convened to plan this project. The Big Event is a one-day project featuring multiple sites throughout the city. Past projects have included painting at the Boys and Girls Club, planting flowers at Randol Mill Park, and socializing dogs at the Humane Society. This year, UT Arlington will be working with the City of Arlington to identify projects throughout the city.
Student Governance and Organizations
Student Governance, in conjunction with Campus Activities, will be participating February 23 in The Leadership Consortium, where student leaders have an opportunity to network with others from various Metroplex universities and colleges. Additional information can be found at www.tlcnorthtexas.org.
Student Governance and Organizations is also proud to work with Greek Life and University Events for Homecoming 2007. Homecoming continues to grow and evolve as a strong tradition here at UT Arlington. The annual FLOC Homecoming event, Paint Your Pride, offered the opportunity for students, faculty and staff to have their cars painted and join in the spirit of UT Arlington Homecoming. UTA Ambassadors offered The Maverick Swap and UT Arlington Trivia Contest, and the Maverick Step Show and Deans’ Breakfast were also offered with the Homecoming Committee.
Spring is just around the corner and Freshman Leaders on Campus is participating in a project with the non-profit humanitarian organization, Afghans4Tomorrow. FLOC collected seeds to send to Afghanistan. The Kite Runner, which was the OneBook selection for this year, was an incentive for completing this project. The book set in Afghanistan has educated students, faculty and staff at UT Arlington about the country and its culture. Afghanis continue to face the trials and repercussions of a war taking place in its midst. Many women have become widows, children have become orphans and mere survival, while surrounded by fighting and the weather in that region, is a tremendous challenge. This project centered on providing seeds, vegetable and flowers, which will be provided to needy Afghanis so they can grow food for sustenance and flowers to sell at market.
The Ambassadors held their first university mixer in Bowling and Billiards to help orient students to campus activities and traditions.
UTA-HOSTS! Peer Mentoring program is in the midst of mentor recruitment for this fall. We enlist your help and support in encouraging members of the groups you work with to complete a mentor application and be trained as UTA-HOSTS! mentors. The program offers the opportunity for upperclassmen at UT Arlington to help new students acclimate to college life and to give them tips and support all while having fun getting to know other students. It is also a wonderful opportunity for mentors to further develop their own personal skills such as communication, time management and goal setting.
The UTA-HOSTS! program has a strong legacy at UT Arlington as it has been an important part of student life for about 14 years. It is one of our Student Affairs programs that offers valuable experience and preparation for students to serve their communities, churches and workplaces after they graduate. Please encourage your groups’ members to apply online at http://www.uta.edu/studentgovernance/hosts.
UTA-HOSTS! is sponsoring its second annual Mini-Major Luncheon for mentors and mentees at noon March 26. Advising and Career Counseling will be present to provide information and answer questions. Students’ tables will be grouped by college so they can discuss experiences and information about that college or major.
Student body elections are also right around the corner. Open positions for the spring elections will consist of Student Congress President, Vice President, Mr. UTA, Ms. UTA, Student Service Fee Representatives, Ambassadors and Student Congress Senators. Filing for positions begins March 6, and elections will be held April 16-17.
The Honors College Council held its first Coffeehouse for spring 2007 with guest speaker Casey Gonzales and students from Multicultural Affairs who spoke to the group about the diversity program at UT Arlington. Upcoming HCC activities for its members include Star Night at the Planetarium on March 8 and the second Coffeehouse of the semester on March 22, which will be a career night.
The Graduate Student Senate will be holding its Dean’s Forum April 5.
