Note from the University of Texas at Austin
Our current plan is to have SEES as a hybrid model with both on-site and virtual opportunities in the summer 2022. The safety and health of the UT community is our highest priority. The university is following guidelines established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Austin Public Health. We are coordinating with other local public health officials to gather and share the most up-to-date information. Thank you for your understanding as we all navigate this unprecedented time in our state. Due to federal mandates, vaccinations and masks may be required for those attending in person. We will update our website as more details become available.
