Three decades after her death, singer Selena Quintanilla Pérez’s light burns brighter than ever. Her Grammy-winning musical achievements with her family band Los Dinos supercharged Tejano music in the early 1990s. But that fabled musical journey is eclipsed by Selena’s impact as a cultural touchstone, inspirational story, tragic figure and pop icon. The Selena Effect celebrates Selena’s enduring appeal and relevance to future generations with photographs by her former publicist, music historian Ramon Hernández, renowned photographers Al Rendon, John Dyer, Scott Newton and Sylvia Reyes; art pieces by David Zamora Casas, Marc Burckhardt and Sara Hickman; and original Selena fashion sketches, outfits, fashion accessories and a diary from her close friend and fashion designer Martin Gomez. Many items on display for the first time.

Most entrepreneurs fail many times before finding success. However, the deciding factor in eventual success is often not the amount of failures or lucky breaks - it is the entrepreneur’s mindset. The ability to bounce back quicky from dejection, analyze the problem, uncover the lessons, and pivot has an enormous impact on the course of people’s careers and lives. Our final speaker is someone who has failed many times and has been able to use those failures to their benefit. They will share their story, discuss their mindset, and teach club members how to succeed at failing!

International Education: External Funding for Graduate Students

Interested in learning more about external funding opportunities for graduate students to study or conduct research outside of their home country? Attend this special International Education Week event, which will involve three different sessions, tailored to specific audiences and purposes: Funding for Study and Research Abroad, Funding for Students Studying in the United States, and a panel of TXST External Funding Recipients. Registrants may sign up for any or all sessions.

Funding for Study and Research Abroad
10:00 – 10:30 a.m.
This session will provide a brief overview of some of the external funding opportunities available to help graduate students study foreign languages, teach English, and conduct research abroad. Although most of these opportunities are limited to U.S. citizens, we will also share strategies used by international students to pursue funded activities outside of the United States.

Funding for Students Studying in the United States
10:30 – 11:00 a.m.

This session will provide information about the approaches and tools used by international students to find external funding opportunities for which they are eligible. During this session, attendees will discover how to customize their funding searches, as well as learn about TXST international students who have received external awards.

Panel of TXST External Funding Recipients
11:00 – 11:30 a.m.
This event will conclude with a panel discussion about the successful strategies that TXST awardees have deployed in their own planning, searching, and application processes. Join us to hear from these external funding recipients about their experiences and advice in seeking international education!

Every great idea needs the right resources to take off—and funding is often the first big hurdle for entrepreneurs.

In this workshop, we’ll explore the full spectrum of funding options available to early-stage founders, including banking, crowdfunding, friends & family, angel investors, and venture capital.

You’ll learn how to:
  • Understand which funding sources align with your business stage and goals
  • Prepare what you need before seeking funding (documents, pitch decks, projections)
  • Weigh the pros and cons of each option—so you can make informed decisions
  • Build relationships with potential funders and communicate your vision effectively
Whether you’re bootstrapping or looking for outside investment, this session will help you map out your funding journey with clarity and confidence.

Don’t miss this opportunity to get your questions answered and discover which path to funding is right for you.
