The Mays Center hosted a group of volunteer non profits on campus today. Students and faculty had the chance to interface with them one on one.
I visited with Mary Flannigan, Director of Communications and Partnerships at SA Youth Literacy.
This group recruits volunteers to assist second graders with a reading program. Testing begins in the third grade. So assisting with a push toward reading makes sense at this time. We see the results of testing reading out of education. Far too often not college ready means a lack of reading comprehension, what did you read? And good writing only results from good reading.

Good afternoon,
I hope all is well! Do you know of any students that might be interested in the Gleim Campus Rep Program? If so, complete information can be found here: https://www.gleim.com/students/campus-rep-program/
The last Gleim Campus Rep for your school completed the program and was unable to find a replacement.
The program is easy to complete and normally takes about 20hrs a semester. Students can do presentations, post on social media, and tell others about Gleim to gain points and earn free study materials.
Please feel free to distribute this information to anyone that might be interested or to other professors. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you for your help!
Best,
Alexandra
Memorial Day Weekend May 27, 2019
Am I going anywhere in June? Well not very far, we decided to vacation in San Antonio. People come from all over to be here and we already are. First stop, the Japanese Tea Garden.
Originally constructed in 1915 in a rock quarry, the Parks Foundation has re furbished this gem.
What is a Japanese Garden Pool without Koi (japanese carp) ?
We then retreated to the https://www.bombaybicycleclubsa.com/ just a block west on St Mary's. A unique holdover from what used to be a nation wide franchise.
What could be more kitsch than an Alberto Vargas imitation?
\\
The place is packed with all sorts of collectible memorabilia, here is a sample.
I never have quite understood the murals of animals playing cards but here is one for the record books.See below.
Bombay is on St Mary's just west of US 281, the Garden is another block down the street. Bombay is very casual, burgers, beer, appetizers and such. She had a burger and I had the turkey avocado bacon, we had to split each and bring the other half home in a carry out. Cheap thrills, stay tuned for more vacation fun in SA.
