Attend Today's Informational Meeting on URCA Associate Class |
|
| |
The URCA program is now recruiting for the 2017-2018 URCA Associate class.
URCA Associates are a small group (10 students at most per year) of upper-level students who develop their own student-led project and then complete that project under the guidance of a faculty mentor over the course of an academic year. (Note: This is separate from the URCA Assistant program where many more students work on faculty-led projects for one semester.)
If you know of students who may be interested, please encourage them to visit the URCA website, What is an URCA Associate? They can find information regarding benefits, eligibility and how to apply.
The application process requires students to submit a detailed proposal, and the deadline is noon Friday, March 17.
Interested students may want to attend an informational meeting held by current Associates Shaelyn Grant and Daniel Miller:
3-4 p.m.
Today
Alumni Hall, room 0406
All associates need a faculty mentor. If a student approaches you about mentoring, we hope you will consider. Mentors must be full-time, tenured or a tenure-track faculty members working in an academic unit. First-time associate mentors are required to attend a brief, introductory meeting to review their responsibilities.
Being a faculty mentor for an URCA Associate provides:
- Opportunities to mentor a junior or senior level student
- Recognition for sponsoring an associate
- Participation with a community of undergraduate scholars
For more information, contact Laura Pawlow, PhD, URCA coordinator, at 650-2608, lpawlow@siue.edu.

Donate to the Career Development Center's Professional Clothing Drive |
|
| |
We need your help! Ready to do a little cleaning in your closet?
Each year we have students that are in need of professional attire for interviews, career fairs, networking events, and practicum/co-op/internship experiences. Unfortunately, not all students have the resources to obtain the appropriate attire for these occasions.
The Career Development Center is taking donations of professional attire items through Tuesday, Jan. 31 in preparation for its spring recruiting season. We will, of course, take ongoing donations outside of this timeframe, but this will be the first major push to get as many initial items as possible.
We are accepting both men’s and women’s attire. All items need to be in good condition and already clean and ready to be given to students.
Items can include:
- suits
- dresses
- skirts
- dress pants/khakis
- sweater sets
- polos
- blouses
- belts
- ties
- anything that could be worn for a professional event with employers
- anything that would be appropriate as a starting point for a professional wardrobe
We are hoping to get a variety of sizes and options so that we can make this service available to any student in need.
Items can be dropped off in the Career Development Center (Student Success Center 0281) during regular business hours.
Please contact the Career Development Center at 618-650-3708 with any questions.

• Every two minutes, one case of breast cancer is diagnosed in a woman in the U.S.

(cancer confined to the breast) was about 74 percent. Today, that number is 99 percent.
• Early detection and effective treatment contributed to a 36 percent decline in breast cancer mortality (deaths) in the U.S. between 1989-2012.
• Currently, there are more than 3 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S.
