The UIL will conduct three Student Activity Conferences this fall, featuring all the high school academic events at these sites.
September 15 — Tyler Junior College, Tyler
September 22 — Texas A&M University, Corpus Christi
September 29 — The University of Texas at Austin
Please note: West Texas A&M University, Canyon has been canceled.
They're free! And no registration is needed.The Conferences begin at 9 a.m. and end by 1:30 p.m. without a lunch break. This allows us greater flexibility in scheduling without sacrificing contact hours or program quality.
Instructional Sessions are designed for beginning students, advanced students and coaches. Other sessions for meet officials, administrators and academic coordinators will be offered, as well.
Conferences feature lectures and presentations by UIL state contest directors, college professors and high school teachers. Sessions will include discussions on contest preparation, demonstrations, performances and contest administration. Students may choose from novice and advanced sessions in some academic areas, as well as small-group sessions in specific UIL activities.
Bring students! Most sessions are intended to help high school students begin preparing for spring contests. Mark your calendar and plan to attend one of these free conferences.
Tenative programs for each site will be posted on the UIL web site, and final programs will be available at each site.
