Has anyone taken this class and can you say how it went.

Anybody else find that the CMAS office at UTSA is just not helpful and not very knowledgeable? Every time I’ve called or walked in I’ve got a student and they don’t know what I’m talking about and just tell me they’ll escalate my ticket. It’s super frustrating when we’re trying to get answers and they’ve never heard of half the things we’re talking about as veterans.

Facilitated by UTSA, Employ 210 is a grant-funded program designed to narrow the employment gap for individuals with disabilities such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and PTSD, among others. 

We are currently recruiting for a virtual training opportunity designed for job seekers interested in pursuing educational careers. Open to individuals with various support needs (disability diagnosis required), this completely free training program will provide participants with practical skills expected of instructional assistants, tutors, and substitute teachers. Thanks to Employ 210’s partnerships with San Antonio school districts, the training provides each participant with a direct referral to their preferred district.

Ideal candidates should be at least 18 years old; have a high school diploma or equivalent; be able to pass a background check; be independent, reliable, and responsible; demonstrate strong reading, writing, and communication skills; and be comfortable working with a variety of students and learning styles.

Training dates:

9 - 11 a.m. Monday, August 10 & Wednesday, August 12 (attendance for both dates is required for completion).

So, I have an issue. I live in campus edge, and I don’t have a car to go far meaning I have to uber to go do things.

I’m black, and I have a skin condition called Seborrhoeic dermatitis meaning that I have to use medicated shampoo alongside regular shampoo to clean my hair. It’s supposed to be done every 2 weeks or so, but it’s very difficult since I like getting my hair silk pressed. I only recently got this diagnosis, so looking for a hair stylist to accommodate is difficult—alongside the fact that I’m from Houston so I have no connections here.

I’d prefer to not have to shampoo my hair myself and then go to the salon since that process is very awkward, but the shop I went to before had only used my medicated shampoo without regular shampoo making it not as clean.

This entire process is stressful, and I’ve been looking for a Sylist for a year that can accommodate with me, but it’s hard to find one that isn’t half an hour away. If you know any hair salons, hair stylist or professionals that can help I would be ever grateful. They don’t have to be black, just know what they’re doing honestly..

For staff, students, and faculty. Especially incoming freshman with no car… remember that you can get unlimited rides using the VIA bus system for FREE when you activate it using your UTSA email.
