State Rep. Lois Kolkhorst, R-Brenham, intro- duced a bill to create the School of Ethics, Western Civilization and American Traditions at UT during the House’s Higher Education Committee meeting Wednesday. Students in the school would be required to take 18 hours of Western civilization studies, including cours- es covering ancient philosophy and literature, the Bi- ble and Renaissance and Enlightenment classics. These courses would count for 18 hours of the tra- ditional core curriculum requirement, and students would then have to complete an additional 18 hours Emily Kinsolving | Daily Texan Staff of coursework in Western civilization.

  • EXPLORING the BRAND IDENTITY CREATION of FEMALE ATHLETES: the CASE of JENNIE FINCH and CAT OSTERMAN a Dissertation by JAMI NICO
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Texas A&M Repository EXPLORING THE BRAND IDENTITY CREATION OF FEMALE ATHLETES: THE CASE OF JENNIE FINCH AND CAT OSTERMAN A Dissertation by JAMI NICOLE LOBPRIES Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Gregg Bennett Committee Members, George Cunningham Summer Odom Jon Welty-Peachy Head of Department, Richard Kreider August 2014 Major Subject: Kinesiology Copyright 2014 Jami Nicole Lobpries ABSTRACT In the context of human branding, athletes have become viable brands capable of providing empirical support for scholarly and industry endeavors. To add to our conceptual understanding of athlete branding and particularly in the context of female athletes, this qualitative case study investigated the brand identity creation and brand building strategies used by two female athletes, Jennie Finch and Cat Osterman, and their management teams to leverage their brand equity. Further, due to the gendered nature of sport, this case study assessed the perceived barriers female athletes face in the brand building process. Guided by brand identity theory and social role theory, interviews were conducted with Finch, Osterman, three female agents who manage female athletes’ brands, and four softball players from various levels of the softball community. Findings from this case study provide empirical support for using brand identity theory to assess the creation of an athlete’s brand identity and strategies for positioning, communicating, and leveraging the athlete’s brand. Themes shaping brand identity creation included identifying core values, brand personality, and brand associations.

  • Austin Travel Guide
    Travel GuideAustin TRAVEL GUIDE AUSTIN Mention Austin to just about anyone, and they’ll tell you they’re either planning a trip, or just got back from one. And there are plenty of reasons for that: Austin is the live music capital of the world. It’s a major conference center for events like SXSW, a destination for bachelor/ette parties, a hub for startups, and it’s full of stunning outdoor settings. It’s home to many excellent restaurants, and it’s the center of the known universe for barbecue, breakfast tacos, Tex-Mex, and backyard patios. Here’s how we’d recommend you plan your time in Austin if you want to experience all of it. Where To Stay Neighborhoods DOWNTOWN AUSTIN If you’re interested in staying in an Airbnb-type situation, here are the neighborhoods we’d recommend, and what you can expect in each: East Austin The place to stay if you want to feel especially cool, East Austin has a mix of old-school restaurants, buzzy new places, barbecue joints, and bars. This neighborhood puts you in the middle of both daytime and nighttime action, although compared with other neighborhoods (like South Congress/Bouldin Creek), things are a little more spread out over here. South Austin: South Congress/Bouldin Creek The neighborhood around South Congress Avenue and South 1st Street is one of the best-known areas in Austin. It’s a fusion of the old and new: classic bungalows, boutique hotels, local shops, restaurants, live music, and nightlife. Just be aware that South Congress Avenue itself can get a bit chaotic on the weekends, full of tourists and bachelorette parties.
