BRAVO!
What a great experience, I came away from the Administrators’
Institute with a plan of action, and with many new friends. I would
highly recommend this opportunity. Thank you.Bonnie Sulzbach, Director for Advising, Career and Transfer
Services, Harford Community College
I
felt the conference was one of the most practical conferences I
have ever attended. The segmenting into small groups of like institutions
with common concerns allowed me to return to campus and immediately
implement ideas developed at the conference. I recommend it as a
high priority to any advising administrator. Glenn L.

San
Antonio has the two biggest tourist attractions in Texas. Number
one is the Alamo, and the runner up is the River Walk.
The
Alamo speaks for itself!
The
River Walk, bordering the San Antonio River, is six metres below
street level, its cobblestoned paths wind past stone bridges and
under Bald Cypress trees up to 250 years old. At night it glitters,
and the cafes, bars and restaurants are packed with people bent
on pleasure. Set aside 30 minutes for a sightseeing boat tour. They
run 9:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m. year round.
Most
of the major attractions can be seen by foot or public transit.
The Alamo and the River Walk area are only a few blocks apart. A
bargain, at 50 cents a ride, are the VIA Trolleys, designed to resemble
old-fashioned streetcars. Four lines crisscross downtown, stopping
at or near most hotels, restaurants, tourist attractions, shops
and galleries.
Be
sure to visit the Market Square (El Mercado), especially of interest
will be the Mi Tierra Café and Bakery. It's open 24 hours (strolling
mariachi musicians play in the evening) and decorated year-round
with Christmas lights.
