Announcements Looking for ways to get involved in the Tucson community? Be a role model and mentor middle school students through Project SOAR! Project SOAR is a 2-unit service-learning course (HED 397B) designed for those committed to providing mentoring for students at under-resourced middle schools in the Tucson community, in an effort to increase the academic achievement for these students. This course provides an introduction to research around learning and developmental factors as well as cultural, social and environmental factors that affect student academic achievement and the path to higher education. Although there is an academic component to this upper-division course, a majority of the time (2 hrs/wk) is spent mentoring at a local middle school (we serve 12 middle schools in the Tucson area, most of which are about a 20 min drive from campus) for a total of 25 hours per semester (this includes travel time & prep time). Carpooling is available, students DO NOT have to have a car.
You can enroll in HED 397B directly on UAccess Student link. Quotes from SOAR mentors: “Project SOAR is more than a class; it is definitely a life experience. I am extremely grateful and proud that I was part of it.” “Each of my mentees now has college aspirations and a brighter view of what college has to offer them.” “I can’t even put into words how much of an effect this course has had on me, but it certainly shows through my actions. I now work with students every chance I get, and also plan to get involved with the “Big Brother, Big Sister” program next semester. I truly believe that this program has helped me just as much—if not more—than it is helping the students I work with.”

Series Brings a Feast of Hot Topics Food is a common element that unites humanity, bringing us comfort, joy, and connection. At the same time, it is a source of confusion, stress, and environmental and socioeconomic peril. In this year's installment of our Downtown Lecture Series, held at the Fox Tucson Theatre, five UA faculty members will tackle the endlessly fascinating topic of food. From issues of sustainability to cultural traditions to modern health, each lecture will explore the complexities of one of our most basic human needs. More

With so many diets and options for selecting food, the best choices for our health are unclear and only seem to get more complicated. Why are so many people now avoiding dairy and wheat – foods once considered mainstays of the American diet? Why are eggs – once considered good, then considered bad – now considered good again? Why are food allergies on the rise? Are people really starting to eat dirt on purpose?
