Haulotte and Rivaux Receive Texas Exes Award
Shirley M. Haulotte and Stephanie Rivaux have been selected to receive the 2008 Texas Exes Teaching Award for their positive influence on the educational experience of UT Austin School of Social Work students.
Haulotte, clinical associate professor, is a 1989 graduate of the School of Social Work master's degree program. She teaches courses in the areas of social work practice and methods, cultural diversity, and spirituality and social work practice.
Rivaux, assistant instructor, is a doctoral candidate who focuses much of her research and practice in the areas of interpersonal violence and substance abuse. Her dissertation examines factors that impact the cycle in which sexual assault history influences substance use and substance use influences risk for sexual assault.
The purpose of the annual Texas Exes Teaching Awards is to promote quality teaching at The University of Texas. These awards are student nominated and student selected through the Texas Exes and the university's Senate of College Councils, a student-elected representative body of all colleges within the university.
"These awards are a way for the Texas Exes to put a spotlight on excellence in the classroom and acknowledge the critical role that faculty play on this campus," said Jim Boon, executive director of the Texas Exes. "Selection by the students make the award that much more meaningful to the recipients." Haulotte and Rivaux and other 2008 recipients from across campus will be honored at an awards ceremony in February.
