Liberal Arts Honors Student Council

This month, our Student Spotlight is Sally Parampottil, a senior English and History major with minors in French and Asian American Studies. Sally is the Head Writing Fellow for LAH 102H, a writing-focused course for first-semester freshmen in the Liberal Arts Honors program. Each week, students are assigned an essay with a unique challenge, and Writing Fellows are essentially undergraduate TAs, giving feedback on papers throughout the semester. As Head Writing Fellow, Sally also announces the writing challenge each week, creates the prompts, and completes other managerial tasks. 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭-𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐋𝐀𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐬’ 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧? “The ability to convey thoughts, emotions, and stories is a life skill and an art form. Writing, no matter what genre or style, serves as a way to communicate and connect with others. Beyond just in English and history classrooms, writing is crucial to human interaction, engaging with/interpreting media, and expressing one’s views. LAH 102H was the most style-focused class I’ve ever taken, and the way I developed as a writer, as a result, helps me think about my academic and personal writing to this day.” 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐬 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬? “I love learning the writing personalities that each student has! There are a million ways to approach each essay, and every student has their own writer’s voice that shines through in their papers. Some writers find their strengths in poetic language, some find it in their comedy. I’ve been able to read so much amazing writing these past three years, and each group has inspired me as a writer in different ways (this specific group motivating me to read more poetry!).” 𝐈 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬.

I’ve been reading a lot of Sports Illustrated issues, courtesy of UT’s Stark Center, and I’ve been able to study how gender roles, racialization, and international politics appear in the pages of popular magazines. A thesis is daunting, but it’s incredibly fulfilling to hit each milestone!” Thank you for sharing, Sally, and best of luck with your future endeavors!

As we wrap up the fall semester, we’d like to take a moment to thank all our wonderful LAH Mentors for the 2024-2025 academic year. We are truly grateful to these role model LAHers for volunteering to guide our first-year mentees as they navigate college, and we can't wait to work with everyone in the spring!

Our Student Spotlight for the month of November is Pranav Yedavelli! Pranav is a member of the LAH 2026 cohort, majoring in Economics and Mathematics with a certificate in Elements of Computing. He is also the Corporate Relations Officer for Longhorn Racing (LHR), a student organization that designs, builds, and competes with three different types of formula-style cars. Longhorn Racing provides industry-level experience for students in the engineering and business space. Pranav is in charge of fundraising and maintaining relationships with their major partners in his role as Corporate Relations Officer. Each year, the organization aims to raise $300,000 in order to build each of the vehicles and attend competitions. See our interview below! 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐧 𝐑𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠? “I was part of my high school’s robotics team and sought to join a similarly structured organization in college. LHR intersects my interest in Formula 1 racing and corporate business strategies, along with ultimately being a team-based competition.” 𝐈 𝐬𝐚𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭, 𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐫, 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐚 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦.

Tasks associated with this role include reaching out for specific part donations and working through the logistics of our team-specific corporate strategy.” 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐯𝐫𝐨𝐧, 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐥𝐚, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭.

The exposure to these opportunities to learn from such talented and successful people is something I’m extremely grateful for, as I’ve been able to communicate directly with high-level executives of several companies and been invited to attend exclusive events. Especially as I am actively looking to pursue a role in analytics and finance, the skills and relationships I’ve built through LHR have only strengthened my commitment to learning as much as I can.” Thank you for sharing, Pranav, and best of luck with your future endeavors!

Happy Halloween, LAHers! This month we are featuring Quinn McGuinness, a sophomore double majoring in Sustainability Studies and Geography. Quinn is currently a Sustainability Food intern with Public Citizen and a Resource Recovery intern on the Zero Waste Quality Control team at UT. Both of these internships are waste-management based; the first on compost and the second on trash and recycling bin optimization across camps. She discovered these opportunities in an email from Henry Hammond, an advisor from the Sustainability Studies program whom she would like to give a shout-out. See our interview with Quinn below! 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐔𝐓 𝐀𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧? 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 𝐬𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐫? “I chose to pursue Sustainability Studies for many reasons, but primarily because I have always been fascinated by environmental sociology and absolutely loved my IB Environmental Systems and Societies class in high school. I really could not be happier with the program here; I love its interdisciplinary approach, the insanely passionate professors, and the way every one of my classes has had a significant contribution to how I understand and interpret the field of sustainability.” 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐧, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬.

This is in part due to the fact that many restaurants already compost their food as part of City of Austin mandated organics diversion requirements, but I also believe that this is reflective of the environmentally-conscious values of the Austin community as a whole, which is really uplifting to see!” 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐭 𝐔𝐓 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧? “A large part of why I chose to attend school in the city of Austin is the fact that I had witnessed firsthand how environmentally-minded this city is when I visited, and I wanted to be able to learn from example how to create sustainable societies, as this is not something that stood out to me in Dallas, where I’m from. I am really excited to see the popularity of the Sustainability Studies major grow at UT, and I am very optimistic that sustainable change on this campus will continue to evolve, driven by the never-ending passion and will of both the students and faculty.” Thank you for sharing, Quinn, and best of luck with your future endeavors!

LAHSC has a very special Student Spotlight for this month! Just a few weeks ago, Samantha Mason and Ana Mairena (your Academic Co-Chairs and the people behind this account) went through the process of selecting a committee to assist us with our duties, and we are pleased to announce that Mara Rodriguez, Eleanor Power, and Alexia Callahan are the newest members of our team. Their contributions, tenacity, and overall excellence are invaluable to us, and they are a wonderful embodiment of what it means to be in Liberal Arts Honors! As part of our committee, they will help plan events for their peers, maintain the LinkedIn page, and engage in other academic projects that benefit our program. Welcome to LAHSC, and hook ‘em!

In addition, I believe that access to and knowledge of opportunities is one of the most essential steps in achieving success academically. I felt nervous and excited during the application process because there was a sense of uncertainty, but I just made sure to try my best!” 𝐍𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐋𝐀𝐇𝐒𝐂 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫, 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐫? “I’m really excited to work on the internship database!

As an incoming freshman, I had worries about finding my place at UT; however, LAH has truly provided a community where I belong and where I feel welcomed. The sense of support among LAHers is unlike any other, and it is thanks to this that I have felt comfortable in my transition to college, which has honestly been a lot smoother than I expected. Classes, professors, and people have all been wonderful, and I feel that I am growing not only academically, but as a person.” Thank you for sharing, Mara, Eleanor, and Alexia, and we can’t wait to work with you this year!

Happy first day of school, Longhorns! We are featuring Jack Chrismon this month, an LAH sophomore double majoring in International Relations and Economics with a minor in Arabic, for recently serving as a National Delegate at the Democratic National Convention and helping nominate Kamala Harris to the presidential ticket. To become a delegate, he first attended the Travis County and Texas State Democratic Conventions, where, at the latter, he ran a campaign to represent the 37th Congressional District. After winning his election with the help of some of his fellow LAHers, Jack was able to attend the DNC. At the convention, he participated in caucus meetings and the nighttime programming, which consisted of speeches, performances, and guest appearances. 𝐍𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐮𝐩, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤? “I think that coming out of the DNC, the Democratic Party is out of the ‘summer slump’ we experienced with Biden as the frontrunner. I saw the energy and enthusiasm at the convention, and I believe it’ll continue through November. To me, this means that I’ll need to continue being active with on-campus political organizations and get students out to vote.” 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧? “My most interesting conversation this week was with Glen Maxey, who was the first openly-gay member of the Texas House. He told me a story about how he attended his first DNC in 1976. There, he and a group of other people nominated a Vietnam draft-dodger to be Vice President to attempt to get amnesty for them in the party platform. This ended up getting Glen Maxey on national television and a key to the city.” 𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐋𝐀𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥? “If you’re a Democrat and an LAHer, I highly recommend getting involved with the University Democrats. I know it sounds like I'm scratching my own back here, but I could not have done it without them. They are the reason I attended or even knew about any of the conventions to begin with. They helped us work as a block together to get young people elected. I know so many great people because of UDems and have so many great opportunities in the future. For the cost of an hour of your time a week, you can accomplish so much not only for yourself, but for your campus and country.” Thank you for sharing, Jack, and best of luck with your future endeavors!
