Though students are donning red and blue for graduation, the color that is on many of their minds is green. From solar panel construction to sustainable architecture, the UA and other partnerships are helping students to pursue green jobs. Lizzie Schloss, the interim director of Career Services, noting the breadth of the field, urged students to figure out where they want to be within the field before jumping in. “The first step is for students to think about how they want to work in sustainability and the specific skills they have,” Schloss said. “The next step is to think about the type of organization. The sustainability movement is affecting all sectors of the work world. Because the field is so broad and encompasses so many types of positions and organizations, it means students have to commit to spending time researching information. We have a number of resources to assist students.”
Audio 6 members Ben Tevik, a clarinet performance major, and Will Houchin, a music education and tuba performance major, perform on the UA Mall on Thursday. Audio 6 and other students from the Careers in Music course, MUS427B, showcased their talents on the Mall as part of a class project.
ASU’s president inspires UA crowd By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT When Arizona State University President Michael Crow spoke at the Student Union Memorial Center on Thursday, every seat was taken. He addressed UA students, faculty, staff and local community members about issues in higher education. “Higher education is facing an unprecedented economic crisis. The nationwide economic recession has left many state budgets in an upheaval and has severely impacted institutions of higher education across the United States,” according to a UA press release about the lecture series. Crow had the crowd laughing, and many audience members found the talk inspiring. “I think it was very impressive. He came with solutions,” said UA higher education graduate student Arlene Benavidez .
