To access JobLink, please visit the Career Services website at https:// www.career.arizona.edu/joblink. All you need is your NETID and password to login and take advantage of these great services. Why is SGPP only funding juniors and seniors to have access to JobLink? The funding comes from SGPP Program Fees, which only our junior and senior majors pay. If you are a freshman or sophomore, you are welcome to register and pay the annual $5 fee out of pocket. Visit https:// www.career.arizona.edu/joblink to register. I will be a junior at the end of the current semester. When can I have access? SGPP will be requesting access for any students who have reached 60+ credits each semester after the census date (the 21st day of the semester). So, if you will have 60+ completed credits at the end of this semester, you will be granted access next semester after the census date.

Campus Events Creative Arts and Design Career Panel & Networking Event Tuesday, April 8th 5:30 pm to 7 pm 3rd floor Tubac Meeting Room of the Student Union Memorial Center You can look forward to meeting: Tom Philabaum began his artistic career in the late 1950s/early 1960s at the Toledo Museum of Art School. A 1974 trip to the southwest led to his leasing a pottery school and starting a clay and glass coop here. His Philabaum Glass Gallery began by showing the works of artists he admired. Photography, ceramics, paintings, sculpture, monoprints, drawings and glass were represented; but since 1991, the gallery exclusively shows glass. Over 400 glass artists have participated in his exhibits through the years. Rob Backues, Art Director at Tattoo Manufacturing International (TMI), is an award winning designer with 20 years of professional experience. TMI, the world’s largest manufacturer of temporary tattoos, was founded in 1989 and now exports to 80 countries, producing and shipping seven million tattoos every day from its Tucson, Arizona headquarters. Don Regole, Principal/Designer of Regole Design, has been creating successful visual communications for his clients for more than 23 years. A graduate of ASU in 1983, he began his career in L.A. working for entertainment clients such as Universal Studios, Playboy and others. Don opened Regole Design in 1989 and has won more than 80 local and regional ADDY awards. Dr. Patrick Marcus, President of Marcus Engineering, creates public sculptures that integrate solar powered displays of light. He has been awarded a Solar Sculpture Commission for Tucson International Airport in collaboration with Fairfield Enterprises and Taylor Designs. The sculpture will be nearly twenty feet tall, made from polished stainless steel, and will incorporate high intensity solar powered LED lighting which changes through a rainbow of pleasing color pattern. Julie Sasse, Chief Curator, Modern and Contemporary Art and interim Curator of Latin American Art at the Tucson Museum of Art, has managed galleries in Sedona, Santa Fe and Palm Springs, taught studio art at ASU and Eastern Washington University and gallery management at the UA and has received fellowships for her research and writing from the Smithsonian Latino Museum Studies Program, the Clark Art Institute and the Marshall Foundation.

Announcements Dear Wildcats! Enroll in HED 350 and share your college experiences with middle school students in Tucson! Higher Education 350: STUDENT OUTREACH, ACCESS, & RESILIENCY IN EDUCATION - Mondays & Wednesdays 3-4:15pm This course introduces students to the role of individual, cultural, social and environmental factors that affect academic achievement and the path to higher education in the United States. Students will be exposed to literature and discussions that allow them to analyze major theories and research conducted in areas of college access, outreach, academic achievement, and resiliency. Project SOAR mentors have said: Best part about mentoring: ...working with my buddy who didn’t speak English. Breaking the language barrier was a great experience. ...seeing the smiles and joy from the mentees when we arrived on campus. ...each of my mentees now has college aspirations and a brighter view of what college has to offer them. ...I truly believe that this program has helped me just as much—if not more—than helping the students that I worked with. Mentees said: “Thank you for helping me with my homework and just talking to me.” “Thank you for helping me pick a school.” “Thank you for mentoring me and talking to me about college.” SOAR Mentors said: “My relationship with my mentee is the most important thing I gained from this experience...it is incredible to feel that you can make a difference.” “My dream career is still to be a teacher. This class has only reinforced my want to be a teacher that makes a difference and advocates for the students. As a future teacher, I hope to incorporate my students’ lives into the classroom and provide ways for them to connect and get excited about learning.” The Service-Learning component of this course, Project SOAR, expose students to these various factors first -hand as they mentor students at middle schools in Tucson. Students will bring their experience back to the classroom to enhance and refine their understanding of the course topics, and provide a local angle on the theories and literature discussed in-class. QUESTIONS? Please see the FAQ page on https://www.coe.arizona.edu/soar/faqs If you have further questions please email me at mairwin@arizona.edu Stop by my office in Education 303 if you have any questions!! Mary Irwin, PhD Assistant Professor of Practice Director, Project SOAR mairwin@arizona.edu
