Are you applying to study abroad in the 2017-18 school year?
The deadline for the application is Friday, Jan. 13, 2017; however, remember to start the process before Christmas break! The signature form and the medical form alone can take a few days to complete, so we recommend starting now. Also be aware that the faculty reference form needs to be done by Jan. 13, so be sure to get that to the faculty member as soon as possible.
These last few weeks can be crazy, but get started now! Feel free to stop by the Center for Study Abroad (in Lemmons 9) if you have any questions.
Nearly 250 students will receive undergraduate and graduate diplomas at the university’s midyear commencement ceremony on Saturday, Dec. 17, in the Wheeler Sports Center. Seating begins at 10 a.m., and the ceremony will start at 11 a.m.

She is also the founder of River Parkway Labs, a technology commercialization and product-marketing consultancy in Portland. The title of her address is “A World Waiting to Be Known.”

Kristen Farmer, a recruiting manager at Youth Villages, will be hosting a table outside the Bruin Den today (Tuesday) from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Stop by and chat with her to learn more about what they do – and to find out about open job opportunities!
Youth Villages is an organization that helps children, families and former foster youth in their homes, schools and communities. If you’re looking forward to a career that includes working on a tight-knit team that is deeply involved in the community, and if you’re the type of person who hates the idea of a desk job, Youth Villages might be a perfect match. They work in 12 states and have a staff of over 2,700, so the opportunities are vast!
