Week 3

Upcoming events and important dates

This week is "internships week," a series of events for anyone thinking about getting an internship. These events are sponsored by the career development center (CDC). Click here to download the CDC's whole schedule, including dates and times for internship events this week.

Also, AND THIS IS A BIG ONE, the Jackson Katz presentation is tomorrow at 7pm in the Foley Center! He will be speaking on masculinity and gender-based violence. He is a dynamic speaker and you don't want to miss it.

Lastly, please get this on your radar: on February 9 in the Banquet Hall in Campion, SJU will host a Beautiful Me workshop, which is a self-esteem program designed to educate women by promoting appreciation for their genuine qualities, accurate self awareness, and the satisfaction of helping others. You have to RSVP by Feb. 5, and here's the link. This program is provided free of charge from the Hance Family Foundation.

This event is related to the Love Your Body Fair Tuesday Feb. 9 in Campion during free period. Please check out both events!
