UTA is partnering with Walmart to establish four on-campus COVID‑19 vaccination clinics open to all employees and students.

The clinics are 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Wednesdays, Aug. 18, 25, and Sept. 15, in the exercise rooms of the Maverick Activities Center.

The vaccine is free regardless of insurance status. Each vaccine clinic will operate on a walk-in only basis.

UTA public health experts Erin Carlson and Rebecca Garner share why vaccines are imperative for the health and safety of the Maverick community.

The Center for Research on Teaching and Learning Excellence encourages faculty members to apply for three fellows programs.

• Service Learning Faculty Fellows Program—Fellows explore service-learning foundations, effective teaching practices, and research projects within service learning. For more information, contact Susan Dequeant at dequeant@uta.edu.
• Maverick Advantage Faculty Engagement Faculty Fellows Program—Fellows collaborate to learn how to integrate one of the five Maverick Advantage distinguishing activities into their courses. For more information, contact Susan Dequeant at dequeant@uta.edu or Nali Kim at nlkim@uta.edu.
• Professional Learning Community Program/Collaborate UTA—Faculty from across campus meet to develop strategies to enhance and assess teamwork in their courses. For more information, contact Andrew Clark at amclark@uta.edu.

Faculty, staff, and students who conduct human-subject research or would like to know more about the Institutional Review Board (IRB) process are invited to the virtual IRB Mini Conference on Tuesday, Aug. 31, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Hosted by the Office of Regulatory Services, this event will cover informed consent, recruitment of subjects, submissions to the IRB, and protecting human subject data. Registration is now open.
