Happy Hours

Every other Friday evening, ILASSA members gather at one of the many eating and drinking establisments in Austin to relax, socialize, and generally have fun. Happy Hour times and locations are announced over Chupacabra, at meetings, and on Facebook.

Cabildos

Cabildos, held at the end of the fall and spring semesters, provide an opportunity for LLILAS graduate students, faculty, and staff to discuss achievements of the past year as well as plan for improvements to the program.

Writing Bootcamps

Graduate students in the LLILAS program host a writing bootcamp each semester to get work done alongside other students. Whether to work on a thesis, course paper, readings or presentation, the bootcamp provides an encouraging work environment and a break to enjoy lunch together.
