Sipping T.E.A. with ULM’s Student Affairs Vice President, typically shortened to Sipping T.E.A. with the VP, is a coalition brought to campus by the University of Louisiana Monroe’s Vice President for Student Affairs, Dr. Valerie Fields. The acronym T.E.A. stands for Transformational Empowering Alliance. The purpose of this collaboration is to help students come together and make true changes on campus. Through spotlighting important events, topics, and people on campus and the community, Sipping T.E.A., with the VP’s aim, is to help bridge gaps and unify the campus as a whole.
