Drew Kerr, UB Class of 1979, B.A. English with honors November 11 — 4 pm 306 Clemens Hall
Last fall’s session was standing room only and ran overtime! You do not want to miss out on this unconventional, highly informative discussion with Drew Kerr, who has spent the last 19 years running his own PR firm and being on the receiving end of thousands of resumes and cover letters.
This session will change the way you think, act and prepare for the job market — and that definitely includes you, all you worried liberal arts majors! You’ll learn how to sell and market yourself properly, look better than 99% of the job candidates out there, and network your way through “the hidden job market.”
Session will be followed by Q&A.
We are pleased to announce a new summer internship program, SCI Scholars, for chemistry and chemical engineering undergraduates.
The program is a joint effort of the Society of Chemical Industry (SCI), America International Group (AIG), the American Chemical Society (ACS), and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), and was developed to introduce chemistry and chemical engineering students to careers in the chemical industry.
Exceptional sophomores and juniors with a GPA of at least 3.5 and who are majoring in chemistry or chemical engineering are encouraged to apply.
Program details:
Twenty-one scholars will be chosen for internship positions in the summer of 2010.
SCI Scholars receive $6,000-$9,000 for a ten-week internship.
Students will be awarded a certificate and an additional $1000, which can be used for any purpose, such as participation at an ACS or AIChE meeting.
Scholars nominate a high school chemistry teacher for recognition. Teachers will be awarded a certificate from SCI and $1,000, which can be used for professional development or classroom materials.
Applications are due January 15, 2010.
Interested students should visit to fill out an application and get more information.

This program will begin in early January with a ten-day Washington, D.C. Seminar. In this academically intensive component, students will learn about the nation’s capital as a basis for comparison with their destination city. They will also begin exploring comparatively some key issues – the environment, immigration, and the like – confronting both societies.
When abroad during the remainder of the spring semester, participants will be in three to four-and-a-half day internships that match their academic and professional interests. Participants from this past summer were involved in a wide variety of internships: Greenpeace Australia, Hill Rogers Chartered Accountants, HIV/AIDS Legal Center, What Media Group and New South Wales Parliament Legislative Assembly, for example.
One of the two Sydney courses will focus on Australia – its government, politics and trade, especially – in the context of the Pacific Rim; comparisons with the US will be encouraged. The second will continue the seminar’s focus on experiential education, in which students will prepare a portfolio documenting, analyzing and reflecting on the semester’s learning.
More information is available online at www.twc.edu/internabroad or by email at Internabroad@twc.edu.
The application deadline has been extended to November 13, 2009.

Attached is a description of two summer programs for undergraduates who are enrolled in a 4-year program in some area of environmental biology and are interested in pursuing a career in field-based research in environmental biology. This invitation to apply for these programs is extended to students following their sophomore year. Because this program can only accommodate a small number of students, admittance will be highly competitive based on past academic performance and the student’s desire to undertake future graduate studies in environmental biology.
These programs provide a fruitful step in the students’ career development by allowing them to conduct independent research and giving them an opportunity to work with established scientists in environmental biology in remarkable natural settings. A number of the students from other universities have decided to apply for graduate studies at Notre Dame after participating in these programs and have been accepted into the program.
