UHD - Lessons Learned

The UHD Financial Coaching and Economic Stability Lab is inviting students to join them bright and early on Monday, November 14th, from 9:00 am -12:00 pm in the Milam and Travis Room for a great event.

FREE Chick-Fil-A breakfast for the first 30 students in attendance.

Visit with banks and credit unions to learn about opportunities to improve your financial wellness heading into 2023 and hear about the important financial lessons learned from our community partners.

They will be giving gift cards and incentives throughout the event.

Chopped, UHD

To bring awareness to life with limitations that our students may face, Disability Services is doing its own spin of the Food Network’s Chopped, called Chopped, UHD. UHD’s greatest chefs will be facing off against each other to find out who will be ranked as the UHD Chopped Champion. However, there is a small twist with each chef having a random limitation/disability assigned to them throughout the completion of each round. Chopped, UHD will be aired on November 15, 2022, at 11:30 in A350 (Auditorium). UHD Chopped Promo

This event will take place prior to the Health Fair that is scheduled for November 16, 2022. In the event that you’re unable to make this event in person, you’re in luck… a Zoom webinar is available!
