The New Faculty Debut is a nearly weekly gathering to welcome and learn about the research of our new faculty. Each week, an hour is scheduled for two new faculty members to present their research for approximately twenty minutes and discuss it for about ten minutes. We will gather in the Contreras Lounge, next to the Contreras Patio and the Pub at St. Mary's on the west side of the Blume Library, adjacent to Alkek Plaza.

Adult beverages and soft drinks will be available to employees, setting a casual mood. The target audience is other faculty, but students and mentees are also welcome. The New Faculty Debut is co-sponsored by the Office of Sponsored Projects and Research Compliance (SPARC), the University Research Council, the Community of Teaching and Learning and the Louis J. Blume Library.

Thursday, Nov. 13:

• Heather Trick Ostroff, Assistant Professor of Law, "From Football to Film Club: Due Process Protections in Public Schools"
• Jerry Gonzalez, Professor of History and O'Connor Chair in the History of Hispanic Texas and the Southwest/Director of the Center for Mexican American Studies (CMAS), "Alamo City Rebel: Mario Cantu and Transnational Chicanx Struggle" 

If you have questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with Diane Duesterhoeft, Katie Thonen, or Tyler Davis.
