In addition, we work closely with teachers and administrators who wish to incorporate theKidzConnexion.com in elementary school curriculums. The feedback on our partner promotions has been outstanding and the rate at which kids return to theKidzConnexion.com is exceptional.
INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES – 2010 – (through May 2010)
Journalism Interns (we currently have 25 positions available through May 2010) to mentor KidReporters. Interns will be assigned ten (10) KidReporters – 4th and 5th graders who have an interest in Journalism and who have been selected by their school to represent the school as a KidReporter. Interns will communicate via e-mail with KidReporters to assign stories, follow up on assignments, review and edit story submissions and participate in other KidReporter-related activities. It is important to engage the KidReporters and encourage them to develop their research and writing skills.
Marketing Interns (we have 4 positions available- 2 Interns to work together as a team) to develop the Kidz Connexion programs –
• “Write A Story” concept is ideal for larger partners looking to expand on the Internet and reach a larger audience of children ages 5 to 12. The concept includes The Kidz Connexion providing partners with colorful Point of Promotion materials that encourage kids to write a story about the fun they had while visiting the venue.
POP materials are place at ticket windows and entrances and/or visible kid-friendly locations throughout the venue. Once a story is written and submitted to the Kidz Connexion, it is reviewed and edited by our qualified staff for readability, relevance and publicity. The story is then posted to the Kidz Connexion site and optimized for Internet search using brand-relevant keywords. A press release is then sent to local and online media.
• Kidz Connexion Birthday Klub concept is for partners who currently have a Birthday Club and would like to enhance their current offering as well as for those who would like to build one from scratch. With more than one million users targeted for 2010, the Kidz Connexion has the potential to drive significant family traffic to regional and
national brands through targeted email leads.
Marketing Interns (we currently have 5 positions available) to further develop and enhance the program to engage partners who will feature the first level of a new Kidz Connexion game on their site. The partners will receive significant benefits for their participation and the Kidz Connexion will benefit in increased traffic and membership in the Kidz Connexion.
Public Relations Interns (2 positions available) to create and implement a program for submitting KidReporter stories to online news resources and search engines. Additional duties will include developing relationships for the Kidz Connexion with local print, radio and television media outlets – in cities where the Kidz Connexion has KidReporters.
Public Relations Interns (25 positions available at this time) to function as liaison with elementary schools for the Kidz Connexion. Initially the Intern will present the Kidz Connexion to elementary school principals via e-mail for the purpose of recruiting KidReporters. Once a KidReporter has been selected for an elementary school, the Intern will ensure that the KidReporter is assigned to an Intern/Mentor. Subsequently, the Intern will work with the school to help them understand the KidReporter program and the benefits of thekidzconnexion.com for students at their school. Intern will introduce help to create membership contests for the schools, award prizes and other school-related activities. Lists of elementary schools principals and e-mail content will be provided.

Organizing for America (OFA) has two priorities: (1) organize support for
President Obama's policy agenda, and (2) build and strengthen the grassroots
organization we built during the 2008 campaign by training and empowering
people to have an impact in their own communities. The most important thing
OFA does is build support for and educate citizens about President Obama?s
policies for change.
Our national internship program will connect students all over the country
with our organization already on the ground -- working to make the change we
fought so hard for a reality.
The internship will last from January 11-May 7, but the start and end dates
are obviously flexible based on a school's schedule.
The internship requires a minimum of 12 hours per week, and would be based
out of our Seattle office.
We are doing an orientation for new interns this coming Sunday January 10,
from noon-6PM at our office in Pioneer Square, 615 2nd Ave, Ste 580. If
students are interested, they should email me at lambrod@dnc.org or call me
on my cell at 253-882-6126.
Thanks for your help in getting the word out, and feel free to let me know
if you have any questions from me!

YouTube Homepage Opportunity
(Other )
My name is Ramya and I am the Nonprofits & Activism Manager at YouTube. I
want to inform you of an excellent opportunity for film students to have
their work featured on the YouTube homepage each month, and raise awareness of important causes, through a program called YouTube Video Volunteers.
Here's how it works:
1) Each month (usually on the 1st of the month), a celebrity curator asks
citizens to create short films highlighting a nonprofit of their choice
working on that month's featured issue (this month is the Arts, February
will likely be Health). The video must be about a specific nonprofit
organization, and not just the issue.
2) Citizens submit their films through the contest gadget at
www.youtube.com/videovolunteers by a specific date (this month the deadline
is January 23)
3) The top three films (chosen by the curator) are featured on the YouTube
homepage at the end of the month as part of a special spotlight collection.
In the past, these Video Volunteers homepage spotlights have garnered
hundreds of thousands of views for the highlighted filmmakers.
This is a huge opportunity for your students to gain enormous exposure for
their work on one of the internet's most-trafficked websites, increase their
YouTube subscriber base, and to add this distinction to their portfolio.
Would you please share the opportunity with students at your school?
For more information, please see www.youtube.com/videovolunteers or let me
know if you have additional questions!

Fitz Cahall (?02), The Dirtbag Diaries
After graduation, Fitz Cahall worked as a freelance outdoor writer for a variety of publications. His dream was to bring his journalism training to rock climbing and outdoor sports. Over the years, he collected interesting stories about regular people that magazines did not want to publish. I was getting harder and harder to sell his stories, so he jumped into the world of new media with the 2007 launch of his podcast on climbing. He thought he might get a few hundred hits on his site, and instead saw thousands of downloads pretty quickly. Several sponsors later, he now has a radio show and will soon begin a web television show. Read more about Cahall at www.dirtbagdiaries.com.

She made the Dean?s list and graduated with a BA in Journalism in 2006. Laura was inspired to create WWISH, with a mission to help women move out of crisis, because of the personal adversity she overcame in her own life.

the Bonderman Travel Fellowship.
The annual Bonderman Travel Fellowship competition is upon us, and The
Graduate School and UW Honors Program will be hosting information sessions

Mon. Jan. 11, 2010, 4:30-6:30 pm, Mary Gates Hall 206.
This fellowship is an opportunity unique to the UW that you don't want to
miss. There may never be another time in your life when you get paid to
travel and explore your own interests.
Selected Bonderman Fellows will undertake international travel for eight or
more months, to six or more countries in two or more major regions of the
world. Through solo travel the Fellows will focus on exploration and
discovery, learning about the world and themselves in it. Fellows may not

program or organization.
Up to seven graduate (and seven undergraduate) Bonderman Fellowships will be
awarded in Spring 2010. Each Fellowship carries a $20,000 award to be used
only for extended international travel. Fellows should plan to begin their
travel between May 2010 and June 30, 2011. Students who propose to travel
beginning later than June 2011 should apply in the next round.

Scholarship Opportunity - Journalism/LGBT

Re: scholarship opportunities at the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association this month:
For additional information, Contact: Bach Polakowski, 202-588-9888 or
Bach@nlgja.org
Washington, DC- The National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association (NLGJA) today announced a call for entries for the Leroy F. Aarons scholarship and the Kay Longcope scholarship. These scholarships are awarded annually in honor of two prominent journalists. Applications are available online and will be accepted until January 31, 2010.
The Leroy F. Aarons scholarship was established in 2005 to honor NLGJA
founder Leroy "Roy" Aarons and to continue his work of fostering fair and
accurate coverage of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) issues
from within the news industry. This annual scholarship will provide up to
$5,000 to an LGBT student who plans a career in journalism and is committed
to furthering NLGJA's mission of fair and accurate coverage of the LGBT
community.
The Kay Longcope Scholarship was established in 2008 in memory of journalist Kay Longcope, who co-founded the Texas Triangle, a LGBT weekly newspaper that would eventually grow to become the major source for all things gay in Texas, covering the gamut from news to art, relationships to music reviews. Longcope is also widely regarded as the first out reporter at the Boston Globe, where she worked for over twenty years.
The National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association is an organization of
journalists, media professionals, educators and students who work within the
news industry to foster fair and accurate coverage of lesbian, gay, bisexual
and transgender issues. NLGJA partnered with The Philadelphia Foundation
(TPF), a community foundation established in 1918, to administer the NLGJA
Student Scholarship Fund. The Delaware Valley Legacy Fund, a component fund of TPF serving to advance philanthropy within the LGBT communities, will
disburse the scholarship awards upon receiving recommendations from NLGJA during each award period.
About the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association
NLGJA is an organization of journalists, media professionals, educators and
students working from within the news industry to foster fair and accurate
coverage of LGBT issues. NLGJA opposes all forms of workplace bias and

The Department of Communication
2010 Career Lunch Series
Featuring: Heather Brooke (?93)
The Department would like to invite journalism students to join British
journalist Heather Brooke for pizza and conversation.
Time: 1:00 to 2:15 (no exceptions)
Date: Friday, January 15, 2010
Place: Communications 126
RSVP to vsprang@uw.edu
Deadline: 5pm January 14 or until space is filled. (Space is limited;
reserve your spot early.)
This is an excellent opportunity for networking, so bring your questions!
Brooke made international headlines last year because of her
groundbreaking request for expense-account information from members of
Parliament helped set the stage for the resignation of the speaker of the
House of Commons, an event not previously witnessed for 300 years.
Brooke worked briefly as a reporter for The Spokesman Review and as a
police reporter in South Carolina for a few years, before moving to
England where she has dual U.S. and United Kingdom citizenship. As a UW
communications student, with a minor in political science, she wrote
regular news stories for The Daily on subjects like student government.
But she also penned a sex-advice column called "Intimate Rebellions." It
was a groundbreaking column, and it drew a lot of attention on campus.

Seattle Bride is seeking editorial assistants! We offer two approximately
20-hour-a-week, five-month, unpaid internship programs each year for
enthusiastic and experienced candidates interested in learning about the
magazine industry through first-hand experience. The internships run
February through June and July through December. We do not offer summer
internships or short-term internships over holiday breaks.
* The deadline for applying to the February through June internship is
1/5/10.
Interested applicants must already possess the following qualities:
A passion for the written word and magazines, with an additional interest in
design, style, fashion and beauty
An obsessive attention to detail
Excellent writing, grammatical and spelling skills
Familiarity with Word, Excel and basic Adobe programs, Twitter and Facebook
Superior organizational skills
Respect for deadlines
The ability to listen and follow directions
The ability to successfully work independently of others
An adult work ethic and the ability to converse professionally with industry
vendors and clients
We welcome student applicants, but only those with a strong interest in
pursuing a career in magazine editing or writing. Student applicants needn't
be enrolled in a journalism program, but must have a strong understanding of
basic journalism skills, such as writing structure, copy-editing notations
and the general lingo. You'll learn some of these things on the job, but
extra points go to those who do their homework first!
Seattle Bride magazine does not offer internships in marketing, public
relations, graphic design or art production.
This internship is an independent, at-home experience. Seattle Bride interns
do not work at the Tiger Oak offices. Applicants wishing to get an in-office
experience in a large group environment should apply for the Seattle
magazine internship program. The Seattle Bride internship is based from the
intern's home office, on location at photo shoots, at various bridal
functions and events and in frequent meetings with the editors at the Tiger
Oak offices or at different meeting places in Seattle. Given its autonomous
nature, this job is regarded with the same importance as an entry-level
position. Do well, and you might get your foot in the door at Tiger Oak
Publications!
Necessary tools/equipment:
You must have your own working computer with updated Word, Excel and Adobe (must be able to at least read PDFs) programs.
Application Procedure
Send a completed internship application along with a resume and your best
writing samples to sally@sallykassab.com

The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is pleased to announce that
for summer 2010 we will again offer three internship programs: RISE
(Research Internships in Science and Engineering), RISE professional and
RISE in North America. RISE has established itself as an outstanding
opportunity to combine serious research with a rewarding study-abroad
experience. All three programs are targeted to students from the fields
of engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, earth sciences (geology)
and related disciplines. For detailed information about all three
programs, please visit: www.daad.de/rise-programs
RISE undergrads have the opportunity to work on cutting edge research
projects at top research institutions (e.g., Max-Planck-Institutes) and
universities in Germany. Students are paired with German PhD students in
a unique mentoring partnership to ensure immediate integration into
hands on lab work and built-in social network with an excellent
opportunity to develop new technical skills. RISE participants receive a
scholarship to cover living expenses. Online registration and the
internship database for RISE and RISE professional both opened on
December 7th. Please email RISE queries to: rise@daad.de
RISE professional is designed for recent graduates, Master's and PhD
students, and alumni of the RISE program who are matched with a
well-known German company, where they gain insight into the professional
applications of science and engineering and develop practical skills.
Internships can last from 1.5 to 6 months. Similar to RISE, this new
program features a scholarship to cover living expenses. Online
registration is currently available and students will receive all
necessary information by the end of October, enabling them to access the
internship offers submitted by German companies. Please email RISE
professional queries to: rise-pro@daad.de
The application deadline for both programs is January 31, 2010.
Additionally, we are looking for research groups in the U.S. and Canada
to host participants of RISE in North America. These German interns
receive a DAAD scholarship to help cover living expenses and travel
costs. Participating researchers receive invaluable assistance with
their own work - they profit both professionally and personally from
contact with the intern, getting a chance to deepen their knowledge of
the culture, lifestyle and higher education system in Germany. PhD
students are especially encouraged to participate because they, in
particular, can benefit by learning how to guide and serve as a mentor
to younger students. The program also offers an excellent opportunity to
establish academic partnerships with universities in Germany or to
intensify already existing transatlantic networks.
Research groups interested in hosting a German research assistant in the
summer of 2010 are invited to participate in RISE in North America and
to submit project proposals at: www.daad.de/rise-northamerica. The time
frame for the submission of project proposals is November 9th, 2009 to
January 11th, 2010.
Thank you for your assistance in promoting these programs.

The Things You Would Have Said
(Other )
Help requested with a project called The Things You Would Have Said....
I am constantly trying to find new people to contact who have unique stories
and emotions to share.
I have been collecting letters from people of all ages and all walks of
life, asking them to write about something they have never before shared
with someone. I have collected over 450 letters from schools, jails,
retirement homes, and various national organizations such as American
Ex-Prisoners of War. Whether the person has passed away, contact was lost,
or the strength needed at the time was lacking, this is a chance to
apologize, show appreciation, and ignite that unspoken conversation.
I have been interviewed on Oregon NPR's radio station and in the LA
Examiner, and have been featured in The Oregonian on three separate
occasions. I am also in the current issue of Portland Monthly magazine and
NW Kids magazine. Later this month, I will be featured in the Idaho
Statesman and a guest on the AM Northwest TV show. You can visit my blog to
see sample letters and updates on the project
at www.thethingsyouwouldhavesaid.blogspot.com. The overall goal of the
project is to publish a selection of letters, however, the main focus and
heart of the project is to help people express themselves and find community
in doing so.
This has been such a powerful and inspiring project and I would sincerely
love the opportunity to not only share it with students at the University of
Washington, but have them participate as well.

interns for our editorial department located in Seattle, Washington. The
position requires a minimum of 20 hours a week in 4 to 5 hour stints. We are
flexible with student schedules during the academic year.

Paradigm Communications Group - Alaska Airlines Magazine & Horizon Air Magazine
(Intern :: Journalism )
SEATTLE-BASED IN-FLIGHT MAGAZINE PUBLISHER SEEKS EDITORIAL INTERNS
Paradigm Communications Group, the Seattle-based publisher of Alaska Airlines Magazine and Horizon Air Magazine, is seeking editorial interns for winter quarter (winter internships typically run from January through March). Interns at Paradigm Communications have the opportunity to write several short articles, which are published with the intern’s byline, in in-flight magazines that are viewed by as many as a million travelers per month each.
Editorial internships are opportunities for aspiring journalists to acquire professional experience, to work closely with editors and to learn about all phases of magazine publishing. The internships are unpaid, and are typically 20 hours per week. The internship is open to all—students and non-students. For students, the internship supervisor can work with advisors to provide college credit for the internship experience.
Interns research story concepts, conduct interviews and write articles. They also check facts, help with special sections, develop event calendars and sometimes write sidebars for larger stories. In addition, they assist with editorial research and art queries. Clerical duties are minimal, but interns do perform some general office tasks.
We are looking for applicants who are meticulous about accuracy; this is especially important for verifying facts, but it applies to spelling, punctuation and usage. Applicants should have solid writing experience; enjoy conducting in-depth research about a wide variety of subjects; exhibit interest in learning about the magazine industry; and possess strong communication skills. Applicants also need to be able to take direction. They will gain valuable self-editing and rewriting skills, enabling them to produce content that meets the needs of editors and the readership. Writing or editing experience in newspapers or magazines is an asset, although any writing experience, including coursework, can be considered for the internship.
Internship hours are flexible, but we ask that interns work a fixed schedule, typically two full days and a half-day each week. Our office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, with a one-hour lunch break.
To apply, please send a cover letter including information about your writing background and why you are interested in the position (as well as mention of your major and your year in school, if applicable), a resume and at least two non-returnable writing samples.

Summer UW Study Abroad program
Info Session Weds 12/9 at 1:30
Padelford Hall C-101
The Comparative History of Ideas program invites students from all areas of study to apply for this 12-15 credit summer program. All instruction is in English. Participants can apply their Federal Financial Aid or apply for additional scholarships. Strong applicants will demonstrate an interest in interdisciplinary learning, European political or intellectual history, geography or cultural studies.
The CHID Venice program will consider the history and culture of Venice from multiple perspectives through an exploration of its original foundations as a site of refuge during the Gothic invasions of the 5th century, its subsequent development as a maritime empire that survived until 1797, and its continuing role as a world heritage site and unique tourist destination. Students will consider numerous aspects of Venice's cultural legacy through its particular artistic style, architecture, religious institutions such as the lay confraternities, and its representations in the literary imagination. In addition, the program will consider the problems of maintaining an urban community at a site now almost entirely devoted to tourism. This will include a focus on the Venice Biennale which alternates between a celebration of the arts and architecture with exhibits from around the world. And, the program will consider the ecological challenges involved in maintaining the site of Ven!

University Disciplinary Committee Membership
(Other )
It’s that time of year again where we seek students who are interested in serving on the University Disciplinary Committee. Commitment to serve on the committee runs from January through December of 2010. Students should be in good academic standing and should be interested in gaining leadership skills through serving on this University Wide Committee.
The University Disciplinary committee is comprised of students and faculty who have the ability to hear disciplinary cases on behalf of the university. Students who have allegedly violated the Student Conduct Code are given the ability to appear before the University Disciplinary Committee or to have an informal hearing with one hearing officer. Additionally the UDC hears appeals of case in which a student may have been found responsible for a violation of the code but the student has a disagreement with the initial finding or sanctions.
Students are selected at random from those students who identify an interest in the University Disciplinary Committee and then training is provided for those selected.
If interested, email me directly at higgie@uw.edu The only information I need from the student is their name, major, college or school and year in school.

Boren Undergraduate Scholarships for language study
(Scholarship )
For students interested in studying non-Western European languages
abroad - the Boren Undergraduate Scholarship.
Our campus application deadline for undergraduate applicants
is Jan. 14, 2010. One more information session will be held on Monday, Dec.
7 at 3:30 in MGH 120 and will cover program, application, and service
requirement details.
Interested in going abroad to study a language next year?
Boren Scholarships provide up to $20,000 to U.S. undergraduate students to
study abroad in areas of the world that are critical to U.S. interests and
underrepresented in study abroad, including Africa, Asia, Central & Eastern
Europe, Eurasia, Latin American, and the Middle East. The countries of
Western Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are excluded. For a
complete list of countries, visit
http://www.borenawards.org/boren_scholarship/where_study.html.
Applicants may be in any academic field, but should be interested in
studying less commonly taught languages, including but not limited to
Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Swahili,
Thai, Turkish, Urdu and Vietnamese. Almost any non-Western European language
can be proposed. For a complete list of languages, see
http://www.borenawards.org/boren_scholarship/languages.html. While language
learning should be a major part of an applicant's academic plan while
abroad, courses in other fields can also be included.
Preference is given to undergraduate applicants proposing abroad experiences
of at least 6 months or longer, though applicants can propose shorter
programs. Boren-funded programs can begin no earlier than June 1, 2010.
Summer-only programs must be eight (8) weeks or more and are limited
to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) students.
Unfortunately, Boren Scholarships will not fund UW Exploration Seminars.
Boren Scholarships are funded by the National Security Education Program
(NSEP), which focuses on geographic areas, languages, and fields of study
deemed critical to U.S. national security. Applicants should identify how
their study abroad program, as well as their future academic and career
goals, will contribute to U.S. national security, broadly defined. NSEP
draws on a broad definition of national security, recognizing that the scope
of national security has expanded to include not only the traditional
concerns of protecting and promoting American well-being, but also the
challenges of global society, including sustainable development,
environmental degradation, global disease and hunger, population growth and
migration, and economic competitiveness.
In exchange for scholarship funding, all Boren Scholars must agree to the
work in the federal government for a minimum of one year (or equal to the
duration of assistance provided under the program if longer than one year).
Opportunities for fulfilling that requirement are plentiful and
flexible. For details, see
http://www.borenawards.org/boren_scholars_service.html and the FAQs at
http://www.borenawards.org/faq/faq_category_id/3. Examples of past Scholars'
service experiences are at http://www.borenawards.org/service_examples.html.
One more information session, which will cover the details about this
scholarships program, application process, and service requirement, will be
held on Monday, Dec. 7 at 3:30pm in MGH 120.
Applicants must submit complete application materials by the Jan. 14, 2010
campus application deadline to Robin Chang in the Office of Merit
Scholarships, Fellowships & Awards.
If you are unable to attend the information session, but would like more
information, please contact Robin at robinc@uw.edu or 206-543-2603.

Humanity In Action Information Sessions
Tuesday, December 8th, 2:00-3:00 PM, MGH 224 (Dean's Conference Room)
Wednesday, December 9th, 4:00-5:00 PM, MGH 224 (Dean's Conference Room)
The 2010 Programs will be in Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, and
the United States.
Humanity in Action (HIA) is an international fellowship that aims to instill
the values of human dignity and moral responsibility for the protection of
the rights of minorities in a new generation of social, cultural, and
political leaders. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to develop
this understanding with an international network in countries where they
will have the opportunity to build multi-national, intergenerational
network of present and emerging leaders in diverse professional fields who
share these commitments.
In 2009, two UW students were selected for the summer program -- Mina
Barahimi, a Law Societies & Justice major and Sarah Howard, a CHID and Latin
American Studies major. Barahimi studied in Amsterdam and Howard studied in
New York City.
Program eligibility:
All majors and academic disciplines are encouraged to apply.
* Applicants to the HIA Core Programs must be matriculated sophomores,
juniors, seniors, or recent graduates (Classes of 2008 and 2009) at
accredited, four-year colleges or universities in the United States.
* Fellows will be selected on the basis of their demonstrated
commitment to minority rights, evidence of leadership potential, and
outstanding academic achievement.
* Fellows will be responsible for financing the cost of airfare to
participate in the program. HIA will cover this cost for Fellows with
documented need.
Sam Lim, a UW 2008 HIA Fellow stated that --
"Before HIA, I never really thought critically about human rights and
minority rights issues from around the world that didn't make the front page
of the newspaper. However, the intense seminars, in-depth discussions, and
the experience of engaging these issues first-hand in Germany and Denmark
provided me with one of the most eye-opening summers I've ever had, and in
the process, challenged me to become a more empathetic advocate for a wider
range of human rights while creating great friendships with other university
students from around the United States and across Europe who shared my
passion for social justice."
Application Deadline: Saturday, January 23, 2010.
Please visit: http://humanityinaction.org/apply for complete details.
FEES & EXPENSES: There is a $25 application fee. For those selected to the
program, HIA pays for accommodation related to its educational programs. In
the 2010 programs, all Fellows will be responsible for financing the cost of
airfare to participate in the program. HIA will cover this cost for Fellows
with documented need. Although HIA provides a modest food stipend, Fellows
should also plan to bring spending money for food and social activities
during the Fellowship Program (approximately $500).

CHEM 590 B-Science and the Law
(Other )
might be of interest to those going into law -
Chemistry 590B: Science and Law, SLN 11836
Syllabus for Winter 2010
Lecture Thursday, 530-720pm, Bagley 154
Adjunct Prof. Karl Hermanns
This course provides an overview of intellectual property (IP); namely,
patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets. As traditional
industries are being supplanted with knowledge-based companies, ones in
which ideas and innovation have assumed an ever increasing role in a
competitive business environment, intellectual property has emerged as a
powerful tool in this new economy. Particularly in the field of patent law,
companies are increasingly using intellectual property protection as
competitive weapons to both capture and defend markets, as well as to
increase reviews. This course will address the various forms of intellectual
property protection available to technology-based companies, with real world
and current examples from a practicing patent attorney. The course
instructor, Karl Hermanns, is a chemist-turned-lawyer with the Seattle law
firm of Seed IP Law Group, as well as an adjunct professor at the University
of Washington School of Law.
Textbook - none.
Grading - Credit/no credit. You will need to complete a written assignment
to receive credit.

Study in Rome this Spring with the English Department!

Spring in Rome program and the deadline has been extended to Monday,
November 30th!
Please see below (or the attached brochure) for more information.

http://depts.washington.edu/engl/abroad/Rome2010brochure.pdf
Application Deadline: November 30, 2009
How to apply:
All current UW students are eligible to apply and no prior knowledge of
Italian is required! Please submit a Letter of Interest, along with

form and turn it in to Bridget Norquist in English Advising, room A2B
Padelford Hall, by November 30th **
http://depts.washington.edu/engl/abroad/english_study_abroad_application.pdf
Program Description:
JOIN a band of ink-stained writer-adventurers for ten weeks of
concentrated exercise and conversation in and about the Eternal City.
This is Rome from a generalists's perspective: history and geography,
art and architecture, language and literature, the color and vagary and
flavor of daily life all constellate in the writer's notebook. Following
in the footsteps of those poets, painters, saints and soldiers who for
some two and a half millenia have traveled where all roads lead, we'll
sack the city word by cobble, in conversation, practice, and stride.
Courses and Credits:
ENGL 430: Studies in Major Authors, D.H. Lawrence and Italy 5 credits
Professor Sydney Kaplan
Why did the impoverished son of a coal miner choose Italy as his escape
from the social constrictions of British society in the early
twentieth-century? How did his Italian sojourns influence his
controversial ideas on art, sexuality, and politics? The class will
pursue these and other questions as we read D.H. Lawrence?s writings
based on his experiences in Italy: Twilight in Italy, Sea and Sardinia,
and Etruscan Places, and also novels (Aaron?s Rod and The Lost Girl),
poems, and short stories. We will take advantage of the great
collection of Etruscan art at the Villa Giulia, and make excursions to
Cerveteri and Tarquinia to follow in Lawrence?s footsteps as he
discovered the significance of the ancient Etruscan civilization for
modern times. We also will consider Lawrence?s work in relation to the
artists and writers of Italian Futurism, taking advantage of the
magnificent collection of Futurist Art in the Galeria Nationale d?Arte
Moderna. Additionally, we will look at the very different reactions to
Italy of Lawrence's friend, E.M. Forster, in his novels Where Angels
Fear to Tread and A Room With a View. (This course meets the Senior
Capstone Requirement for English Literature majors)
ENGL 283/383/483 or 493: Sacking Rome 5 credits
Professor Richard Kenney
Rome from a writer?s perspective: what can we carry away? Notebooks in
hand, we?ll test that question in reading, writing, and conversation.
We?ll consider what it means to be an artist, walk the cobbles daily,
fill a writer?s sketchbook, and so in literary terms sack the city at
the center of the world.
ENGL 363: Literature and the Arts and Other Disciplines 5 credits
Professors Richard Kenney and Sydney Kaplan
Roam Rome with experts in its art, architecture, history, and culture.
Learn enough Italian to purchase a peach in the future tense. This

The Washington Center in D.C. - Spring Semester Deadline Extended to December 4
(Intern :: Other )
We wanted to let you know that we intend to continue accepting applications
for our spring semester 2010 Washington, D.C. internship programs until
December 4, 2009. Of course, we've informed students that they need to
confirm with your institution's campus liaison or sponsor that they can
still participate, but we hope that you'll be able to send any newly
interested candidates our way.
Hopefully, this extension will allow students to discuss the opportunity
with their families during the Thanksgiving break and will take some of the
pressure off those who were scrambling to submit all of their materials on
time. Of course, we will offer admission on a rolling basis, so prospective
interns should send their applications as soon as possible.
Please note that unfortunately we're unable to extend our deadline for the
Washington, D.C.-Sydney Internship Program or the U.S.-China Bilateral Trade
Internship Program. In addition, we're no longer able to accept
international students enrolled in colleges and universities abroad due to
the J-1 Visa process.
Students can also consider participating in our January seminar Inside
Washington '10 (www.twc.edu/insidewashington), as the deadline is December
9. Faculty members who bring 10 students from their institution can be hired
as faculty leaders to come with their group to Washington, DC and will
receive a stipend. For more information on Inside Washington '10, please
contact seminars@twc.edu.
As always, we appreciate your support and are available whenever you have
questions or concerns!

• Develop leadership and strategic planning skills of local activists to mobilize volunteers, wage direct pressure campaigns, build strong coalitions, and conduct effective media outreach to expose and challenge corporate abuses.
• Keep accurate and up-to-date files, records, and systems to build capacity for all our campaigns.
• Participate in organization-wide planning, fundraising and campaign activities.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:
• Passion, commitment and determination to wage and win campaigns to stop corporate abuse.
