      Driving & Parking Directions

      u  Though the new campus is directly across I-35 from the current  
      BUA campus at 8019 S. Pan Am Expressway, you will need to drive 
      to the far side of the new campus for the Groundbreaking.

      u   Take I-35 from either direction and exit Zarzamora

      u At Zarzamora, head south (take a left if coming from  
      downtown   and a right if coming from the far South side)

      u Take a right on Hutchins and a left on Ansley Blvd. (new street)

      Look for parking area along the street near groundbreaking site.  
      Student council greeters will guide you.

      The event will last approximately 35 minutes and be followed by  
       refreshments of lemonade, fresh fruit and raspas prepared by   
      Jenny Villamar and staff so please linger and enjoy the morning.

       A tent with 100 chairs will be in place for the event. Students and   
       staff should give our many guests ample opportunity to find a seat
       before filling in the seats when the event begins.

Student Workers Needed for Donor Phone Bank

The new campus groundbreaking this month signals the launch of the public phase of BUA's fundraising campaign called Crossing Over Together. An important part of this fundraising effort will be phone calls made by students to donors asking them if they have received our brochures in the mail and if they have any questions about our plans.

The Advancement Office is looking for students who speak English and Spanish to earn work study hours by making phone calls on the evenings of September 18 - 20. A training session will be held for all phone bank workers on Thursday, September 14. Students with a social security number are eligible to earn work study credits to their tuition. Pizza will also be provided on the evenings of the phone bank. Contact Roxane Lopez if interested, rlopez1@bua.edu or call x246.

New Student Video Team Looking for More Team Members

BUA students have great stories to tell, and a new team of students is organizing to interview students and edited those conversations into videos that we can share with donors and other prospective students. We are looking for student team members who have an interest in all phases of production from pre-production planning, interviewing skills, camera operators and video editing. We have already assembled some talented students with Danny Ortiz leading out as Production Manager of the team. Contact Danny at dortiz@bua.edu or danomojica@yahoo.com to learn more. The next meeting of the student video team will be Friday, September 1 at 5:00 p.m. in the cafeteria.
