Volunteers Needed for Late Night Breakfast - December 7


As we prepare to close another great semester, the Division of Student Affairs, the Office Housing and Residence Life, Campus Living Villages, and UTSA Dining, would like to invite you to serve as a volunteer for the Fall 2016 Late Night Breakfast on Wednesday, December 7, 2016 at the Roadrunner Café from 9-11pm.

Two Ways to Help

  • Event Volunteer roles include serving food, cleaning and most importantly, connecting with our students. We would ask that you arrive at 8:30 p.m. to get familiar with your area. Volunteers are encouraged to wear closed toe shoes, jeans, and UTSA paraphernalia.
  • Can’t make it out to volunteer for Late Night Breakfast, but still want to help? We hope to provide our students with giveaways (bags, shirts, pens, cups, etc.) for the activities that will be taking place. Giveaway items will be picked up by a housing representative before Late Night Breakfast. We look forward to receiving your items.
    • If you, or members of your team, are interested in volunteering and/or providing giveaways for Late Night Breakfast, please send the following information via email to Jacques Watkins, Caleb Amasonor or Ellissia Hill.

      • Name:

Expanded After-Hours Counseling Services Program


UTSA Crisis Help LineThe UTSA community can contact Counseling Services at 210-458-4140 for support both during and after office hours. UTSA Counseling Services has offered after-hours on-call services since 2003, utilizing existing staff members. On-call services were previously accessed through UTSA Police Dispatch and so were limited to client crisis/emergency or police consultation.

Going forward, UTSA Counseling Services has contracted with ProtoCall, a leading provider of third-party telephone behavioral services, to provide after office hour counseling services. By contracting with ProtoCall, the entire UTSA Community will have immediate access to a qualified mental health professional 24/7. Protocall professionals are experienced with college student mental health and will have access to UTSA and San Antonio-specific information and resources. ProtoCall will alert UTSA Counseling Services of over-night calls so that staff members can provide timely follow-up.
