Good day, neighbors! It's me again, Gabriela Couvillion, your host of the Austin Daily. First, today's weather: Mostly sunny. High: 84 Low: 51. Here are the top stories today in Austin: From April 9-June 22, the Sam Z. Coronado Gallery will exhibit the most recent art works by Venezuelan artist, Mery Godigna Collet, in an exhibition titled "ENTROPY." In addition, they will present a printed catalog "with texts by artist and writer Rachel Koper, anthropologist and curator Patricia Morales, the architect, curator and professor of art Veronica Liprandi, awarded poet Lucia Boni, cultural researcher and lecturer Surpik Angelini and art historian Rebecca Gomez." View the catalog online on the Smithsonian Museum's Learning Lab and see more details at: (Press Release Desk) Kendra Scott, founder and executive chairwoman of Kendra Scott, LLC, "has committed a corporate and personal philanthropic investment to The University of Texas at Austin" to support future women business leaders. The investments, which total $13.25 million, will be used to create an endowment that will "provide expansion and support in perpetuity for the Kendra Scott Women's Entrepreneurial Leadership Institute (KS WELI), a cross-disciplinary program among the College of Fine Arts, the McCombs School of Business, the College of Natural Sciences and The LaunchPad in Undergraduate Studies." UT Austin president Jay Hartzell said, "Kendra's investment will transform the lives of thousands of future leaders, and all of society will reap the benefits." He added, "I am thrilled she is expanding her partnership with UT to attract top talent and leverage the strength of our city and university as an engine for entrepreneurship." For more details visit: (University of Texas) According to data by Austin Public Health (APH), as of Monday, March 28, COVID-19 cases rose by 47 percent, but hospitalizations remained low. To obtain that information, "Public health officials use community transmission rates as a key indicator to develop risk-based guidelines. Those numbers track new cases per 100,000 residents, which APH officials say were more accurate than hospitalization numbers in assessing risk during the delta variant outbreak."

Save the date and support your favorite UT cause during 40 for Forty, from April 6-7. More details at utexas.edu." (Facebook) "Thanks to the grant from Legacy Collective, The Settlement Home for Children was able to repair damages around their campus that were caused by last year's winter storm, including their Clothes Closet! Restoring the Clothes Closet and other special spaces was imperative as they create a safe and healing environment for their kids. The Settlement Home for Children is incredibly grateful for the generous Legacy Collective donor community." (Facebook) According to KUT Austin, in recent weeks every state except Hawaii lifted its indoor mask mandate for schools, but implementation across the country varies. For example, if you are a student in Minnesota, you still have to wear a mask on a school bus." (Facebook) "According to Austin PBS, on Monday, March 28; a federal judge asserted it is 'more likely than not' that former President Donald Trump committed crimes in his attempt to stop the certification of the 2020 election, ruling to order the release of more than 100 emails from Trump adviser John Eastman to the committee investigating the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol." (Facebook) "Have you heard about our next Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum Friends program?
