帕洛阿尔托 looks for ways to maximize its capacity to serve

帕洛阿尔托学院’s core values stem from the belief that education is the central element to the success of our community. Supporting our students both inside 和 outside of the classroom with resources 和学习ing opportunities is imperative to their long-term prosperity.

As we embark on a new academic year this month, our dedicated faculty 和 staff are once again offering first-rate transformational programming, 指令, 和 support services.

We remain committed to keeping students first 和 helping them fulfill their academic goals 和 achieve success. We have resources, plans, 和 support available to help prepare students for the upcoming semester. In partnership with UT Health, students can visit with a medical professional at our Wellness 360 Clinic in the Student Center or via telehealth from the comfort of their homes. Students can make an appointment by calling 210-485-0571. This service is available to both students with insurance 和 those who are uninsured. The 阿拉莫大学 is committed to working with students who may have a financial barrier limiting their access to medical care.

另外, the 阿拉莫大学 区 offers no-cost textbook rentals through the AlamoBOOKS+ program during the Fall 2022 semester. In collaboration with Barnes & 高贵的大学, this program ensures students will have all required textbooks 和 指令al materials across all courses by the first day of class.

There is so much in store for the campus this fall that will enhance the experiential learning opportunities for students. Students will soon have access to an outdoor classroom 和 amphitheater, a first-of-its-kind space for the campus where students can meet, 放松, 和学习. The college will also officially open the Vineyard & Hops Yard for students in the Viticulture 和 Enology program. This unique program focuses on the wine industry 和 labor side of the workforce while providing a thorough, scientific underst和ing of the wine-making process.

To round out the year, we are getting 关闭r to opening the new bond-funded Rio Gr和e building. This joint-purpose building will serve as the primary entry point to campus 和 be home to a new Student Engagement & 欢迎中心. It will also include specialized spaces for various academic programs to exp和 training for high-wage, high-dem和 occupations in our region, including advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence, 机器人, 网络安全, 物流, 刑事司法, 还有牙齿卫生, with plans to open a dental hygiene clinic to the community in the future.

Part of impacting lives in our community means providing access to learning opportunities 和 promoting the sharing of ideas with one another. Exceptional 指令, 创新的想法, 和 a commitment to excellence are what we do in service to our students 和 our community.
