Back by popular demand, the USTMAX Center in downtown Conroe announces its third Creative Writing Workshop led by 2011 Texas Poet Laureate Dave Parsons.

Increasingly recognized as a go-to destination for enrichment in Conroe and Montgomery County, the USTMAX Center launches the 1st Annual Vince D’Amico Memorial Poetry Reading and Open Mic event.

Presenting will be UST Professor of Philosophy and Director of the St. John Paul II Studies Institute, Dr. John Hittinger. His topic will be “St. Maximilian Kolbe as the Patron of ‘Our Difficult Century’—Discerning Authentic Innovation.”

Retired University of St. Thomas Education Professor Dr. Randy Soffer is not resting on his laurels. Instead, he is helping in the Conroe community, where he lives, by teaching valuable Conversational English Classes for Adults.

Twenty-two veterans – some who currently owns a business and wants to strengthen it and others who want to start a new business – joined USTMAX Center at its recent Lunch and Learn on the topic of veteran entrepreneurship.

Four honorees have been chosen to receive the 2021 University of St. Thomas MAX Innovator Awards. Among the winners is Conroe Mayor Jody Czajkoski.

USTMAX Center celebrated its first anniversary on the downtown square in the heart of Conroe, Texas, on Wednesday, Oct. 20. Music, food and 75 people filled the air at the festive, casual, come-and-go gathering.

If you are looking for your first career or want to make a job change to jump into the healthcare field, consider taking classes to become a phlebotomy technician, a clinical medical assistant or a medical billing and coding specialist.

First, you must be a military veteran to attend. Second, the event promises to provide valuable, practical information on how veterans can start their own businesses. And third, the not-to-be-missed gathering will be held at the military-themed Honor Café in Conroe and include complimentary lunch.
