Course Description:
 
This course provides graduate students and upper division undergraduates with 
an advanced experience in science and technology writing.
 
We explore issues of accuracy and the treatment of scientific uncertainty by 
journalists and sources. Other topics include the structure of feature writing, 
the editorial process, layout and display issues, and ethical codes for 
practicing science writers. Students develop advanced skills in science news 
writing through a combination of writing assignments, readings, discussion 
sessions, writing clinics, and special guest presentations by practicing 
science writers.
 
Students completing this class should possess the conceptual understanding as well as the practical experience needed for a variety of writing, 
communication, or public outreach positions.
 
Add code required--priority will be given to those who did not take Ocean 506A during fall quarter 09. Email the instructor at illman@u.washington.edu

On Monday, January 18, 2010, the Carlson Center and United Way of King
County will be coordinating the 9th Annual MLK Jr. Day of Service. Last year
over 1,300 UW students, staff, faculty, alumni, friends, and family served
at projects around King County ranging from cleaning, painting, and
beautifying transitional housing facilities, clearing invasive plant growth
in Seattle's natural habitats, clearing trash from neighborhood parks, or
sorting donated food and clothing, just to name a few.
 
As an MLK Day of Service project leader, you will be the vital communication
liaison between your project host, project volunteers and the Carlson
Leadership & Public Service Center. Project leaders choose from among a
variety of one-day service projects that have been organized by local
community partners to take place on January 18th. As a project leader, you
can recruit your own service team or open your project to meet new people.
The commitment is minimal and rewarded with leadership experience, stronger
relationships, and a demonstrated commitment to our community.
 
Project Leader trainings will take one hour and be offered from November 2nd
- November 10th in Mary Gates Hall.

potential, UW Leaders is the program for you!  We are an ASUW program committed to providing freshmen, sophomores and transfer juniors with the skills and opportunities that will make them the future leaders of the UW community and beyond.

synthesis of seminar-style and experiential learning. Every Wednesday during 
winter and spring quarter, we hold weekly meetings focused on different 
leadership practices; topics range from public speaking and interviewing to 
being a leader in a multicultural society. The learning done in these 
workshop-style meetings is deepened through leadership projects, which are 
designed and implemented by program participants according to their interests 
and goals.  Along the way, students will have the opportunity to collaborate 
and build a one-on-one relationship with student and faculty mentors who have already established themselves as leaders in the campus community.   UW Leaders is currently seeking its participants for winter and spring quarters ‘ that could be you!
 
Applications for UW Leaders are due October 30th at 5pm either by email or in 
the office, which is located in the main ASUW office in HUB 104C.

  Course Description:
  
  This course is designed to introduce upper-division undergraduate and 
  graduate students to science and technology news writing. We explore the 
  science news publishing process and key issues involved in communicating 
  about science and technology with general audiences. Students learn the 
  structure of science news articles and press releases; they examine issues of 
  balance and accuracy; and they study the interaction between technical 
  sources, public information officers, reporters, and readers.
  
  Using case studies taken from the print and broadcast media, we examine ways 
  to treat some of the most difficult problems in communicating technical 
  content to general readers, including issues in experimental design; 
  correlation vs. causation; and evaluating risk.
  
  Students have the opportunity to build their writing portfolios through 
  assignments that treat the news brief, news article, and press release. 
  Articles may be considered for publication in Northwest Science & Technology 
  (www.nwst.org). Students completing this class should possess the conceptual 
  understanding as well as the practical experience needed for a position as a 
  science reporter, writer, or editor for a major publication; as a freelance 
  writer; as a communication officer, writer, or editor for a high-technology 
  organization; or as a scientist or engineer who is prepared to interact with 
  members of the media and general public.

Bricolage, the student-run, literary journal, is holding elections this coming 
Monday for the editorial positions for the 2009/10 academic year.

Elections for Issue 27 editorial positions will be held this
Monday, June 1st in Padelford A-2-B at 3:30pm.
 
Positions to be filled:
-Managing Editor
-Poetry Editor
-Fiction Editor
-Art Editor
-Design Editor
-Community Outreach officer (PR)
-Development officer
 
Positions are held for the 2009-2010 academic year. For more
information about the duties of each officer, please see attached file.
 
Bricolage is UW's undergraduate literary journal, run by student
editors. The journal publishes short fiction, poetry and artwork on an
annual basis. The positions are unpaid but offer valuable and impressive
literary experience. We encourage anyone with a passion for creatively
expressing themselves to run. If you have been involved with Bricolage
in the past, consider taking on a new position with us.
 
To run for a position, we ask that you say a little something about
yourself and why you would like the position. It does not need to be a
prepared speech; the election process will be informal.  2008-009
readers and past officers will be able to cast a vote. Those new to
Bricolage will be able to run for a position but will not be able to
vote. Do not let this discourage you if you have not been involved with
the journal before - three of our editors this year were brand new to
Bricolage and they have preformed wonderfully.
 
Please consider joining the Bricoalge team. It is a superb opportunity
to do something amazing. And it's really fun. If you have any
questions, email bricouw@gmail.com.
 
NOTE: If you are running for the design position, we would love to see
anything you have designed in the past, but these examples are not
neccessary.
 
Thanks!

It has become clear over the past few months how difficult it is for people outside of UW to know or learn about what we do here. A group of folks from UAA, the Libraries, and A&S are working on a small pilot project this spring to collect some of the most compelling or memorable stories of our students: stories of success, of overcoming challenges, of breakthrough moments, or just great memories of their time at UW. The plan is to film some short video clips of these students telling their stories. We think there are many people who might enjoy seeing these stories, both on campus and in the outside world: prospective students, parents, new students, alumni, and others.
 
We’d like to shoot these near the end of this quarter, when thoughts of
graduation will bring out the warm fuzziness of nostalgia (for students, anyway). Again, this year is merely a pilot; we just want to see what’s possible. If it works, we may continue, and compile a bit of living history while we’re at it. 
 
Student stories could include students who have had memorable experiences through: 
 
Involvement in faculty research
 
Study abroad
 
Internships or courses with a service learning component
 
Experiences in K-12 schools and community programs locally,
nationally or internationally
 
Challenging capstone courses
 
Special programs like Ethics Team, Debate Team, etc.
 
 
or anything else that makes a good UW story.

If you have children age 12 or younger who will need child care during the academic year, you may be eligible for child care assistance offered through the University's Student Parent Resource Center. This program will help pay costs at any state licensed or certified facility in the Puget Sound area. 

To apply for the 2009-10 school year, submit the Childcare Assistance Application form to the Student Parent Resource Center by May 29, 2009. In addition, you will need to submit a 2009-2010 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). If you are an international student, you must complete the International Student Financial Statement and submit it attached to the Child Care Request Form. International students do not need to complete a FAFSA.

The deadline for applying for child care assistance for the 2008-09 academic year has passed. If you are in need of assistance, you may pick up an application in 172 Schmitz. If you qualify, your name will be placed on a waiting list in case additional funds become available.

Additional information about child care, including application forms, are available from the Student Parent Resource Center, Room 172 Schmitz Hall (206-543-1041).

POETRY IN FRIDAY HARBOR
 
UW English Department Professors Richard Kenney and Cody Walker are now
accepting applications for the Poetry in Friday Harbor Program!
 
The Poetry in Friday Harbor Program is a two-week seminar in the art and
practice of poetry.  There will be lecture and discussion, reading,
critique, informal chat and solitary time for composition.  All comers
are welcome:  no experience is presumed; a wide range of experience is
anticipated.
 
What is poetry? What are its forms and ways and means? What are its
affinities with other forms of knowing, such as natural science, as
practiced famously at the marine station? What is a poet?s relation to
the natural world? Such widely-ranging questions, and others of mutual
interest, will be explored in an experimental spirit at the point of the
pencil: this is intended to be a practical apprenticeship in the poet?s
art, rather than a theoretical or critically-minded literary seminar. In
that spirit, writing will be constant and joyful. We?ll meet twice
daily, with open time between. Expect lectures and discussion on the
following topics: poetry and play, poetry and comedy, poetry and the
natural world, nursery rhymes and nonsense, tone and gesture, and the
generative nature of poetic constraints.
 
Web page:  http://depts.washington.edu/engl/cw/poetryfh.php
 
Dates:  September 6 through September 19th, 2009
 
Location:  UW's Friday Harbor Laboratories on San Juan Island.
Participants will be housed in student quarters at the marine station,
and will take meals together at the dining hall.
 
How to Apply:  Please send a letter of inquiry and the attached
application form to BOTH Richard Kenney (rk@u.washington.edu) AND to
Cody Walker (codyw@u.washington.edu).  We've reserved accommodation for
just 15 students. We expect the seminar to fill quickly!
 
Application deadline:  May 29, 2009.  If the program fills before this
final deadline, a waiting list will be established.
 
*Cost:  $850 (includes instructional costs, housing, and 3 meals a day)
 
A $250, non-refundable deposit will be due upon acceptance to the
program, with the remaining balance of $600 due no later than August 28,
2009.
 
Credits:  Participants will receive five credits of English 493
(Advanced Creative Writing Conference). Credits may be reassigned to
cover certain prerequisite courses in the Creative Writing track.
 
*Course credits will be included in students' AUTUMN 09 schedules (which
may have implications for total tuition owed, depending on how many
total credits a student takes during Autumn Quarter).
 
Faculty:
 
Cody Walker was born in Baltimore, Maryland. A longtime
writer-in-residence in Seattle Arts & Lectures? Writers in the Schools
program, he was elected Seattle Poet Populist in 2007. His work has
appeared in The Best American Poetry, Parnassus, Slate, Shenandoah,
Light, and elsewhere. His first poetry collection, Shuffle and
Breakdown, was published by The Waywiser Press in November of 2008. He
currently serves as the Amy Clampitt Resident Fellow in Lenox,
Massachusetts, and blogs for The Kenyon Review.
 
Richard Kenney was born in Glens Falls, New York and is the author of
three previous books of poetry: The Evolution of the Flightless Bird,
Orrery, and The Invention of the Zero. In 1987 he received a John D. and
Catherine T. MacArthur Fellowship.  Richard Kenney teaches poetry and
verse writing in the Undergraduate and MFA Programs at the University of
Washington. For a number of years he has led the UW Creative writing
summer seminar in Rome. His work is informed by science. He's interested
in Celtic and classical literatures. He thinks about human evolution and
language origins, the cognitive basis of poetic forms, magical
reasoning, and the Darwinian lives of subliterary species such as jokes,
riddles, proverbs, charms, spells, nursery rhymes and weather-saws.
Among his favorite poets are Shakespeare, Keats, Hopkins, Yeats, Auden,
Frost, Larkin, Merrill.

                     Federal Service Student Ambassadors
 
The Partnership for Public Service has learned from our research that
students in college are generally interested in working for the federal
government but lack the knowledge to actually find and apply for those jobs
and internships. We also learned that students look to their peers for
advice and assistance throughout the job-search process. As such, the
Federal Service Student Ambassadors program is designed to increase interest
in federal service on college campuses through developing a corps of
passionate student advocates who will actively promote public service
following their completion of a federal summer internship.
 
As a Federal Service Student Ambassador you will educate and inform students
on your campus of federal jobs and internships. Having already completed a
federal internship yourself, you will lead outreach efforts to your campus
community during the 2009-10 academic year. The federal government needs to
fill 45,000 entry level jobs each year and you can help to fill this gap
with the best and the brightest.
 
You will raise awareness of the incredible opportunities and benefits of
federal service through planning events, meeting with key faculty and staff
members, and spreading the word about public service. Furthermore, you will
stay connected with fellow Ambassadors across the country to share
resources, best practices and recommendations.
 
APPLY NOW >>
 
Applications will be evaluated as they are received ? Apply early!  All
applications and accompanying materials must be received by 6:00 p.m.
(Eastern Time), Friday, May 8, 2009.
 
     Benefits
 
Are you looking for an experience to help you gain professional skills and
experience while sharing your passion for public service with others? This
opportunity might just be the edge you are looking for. You will be leading
a major outreach effort on your campus, creating an academic and
professional network of contacts, writing articles for newspapers and
magazines, and coordinating with other student organizations on campus, all
of which take dedication, excellent time management, interpersonal and
written communication skills.
 
Not only will you gain professional experience, but you will also receive a
great deal of support to help you develop those skills. You will attend a
dynamic training in July in Washington, D.C. with thirty other Ambassadors
from universities across the country. You will receive regular feedback and
assistance from staff members in Washington, D.C. as well as from your
school and your fellow Ambassadors. You will also receive a $2,200 stipend
for your service. 
 
     KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
 
  *  Develop and maintain a strong relationship with an assigned advisor on
     campus;
  *  Build a strategic plan for success with measurable goals;
  *  Plan and implement events or activities on campus during the academic

  *  Publish pieces for a campus publication such as the school newspaper,
     alumni magazine, or school website;

     holding meetings with student leaders, key faculty and staff;
  *  Report on progress with qualitative and quantitative feedback on your
     impact;
  *  Attend training sessions throughout the summer in Washington, D.C.
     Specifically, you will need to attend a mandatory 2-day training  on
     July 22-23, 2009;
  *  Participate in monthly hour-long webinars with fellow Ambassadors and
     Partnership staff;
  *  Use Partnership resources at events and activities in order to increase
     student knowledge and interest; and
  *  Work an average of seven hours per week.
 
     QUALIFICATIONS
 
  *  Enrolled in an internship with a federal agency in Washington, D.C. for
     the summer of 2009;
  *  Enrolled as a student in an accredited college or university for the
     2009/2010 academic year;
  *  Demonstrate a commitment to public service;

What is Roadtrip Nation? 
  
It all started with four friends in the late 1990s and one dilemma: "what do
I want to do with my life?" Fresh out of college and unsure about the career
paths in front of them, they were determined to expose themselves to more
than just the traditional life roads. They hopped in an old RV, painted it
green, and hit the road to talk with inspiring people to find out how they
came to do what they love for a living. Today, Roadtrip Nation has evolved
into a PBS series, three books, an online community, and a student movement.
 Want to learn more, or go on a [funded] Roadtrip of your own? Check them

Peace Corps or grad school? Why not do both?


Did you know that you can earn your graduate degree at the University of
Washington and many other colleges and universities while serving in the
Peace Corps through the Peace Corps? Master?s International program? 
 
 
 
It just takes a little bit of planning and coordination.    
 
 
 
Peace Corps service is the opportunity of a lifetime and a great way to get
two years of international experience under your belt whether or not you
choose to concurrently pursue a graduate degree.  While we recommend that
you take advantage of this fantastic option to do both, here?s your next
chance to get all the facts so that you can make an informed decision on
which path to choose.  A returned Peace Corps Volunteer will be at this
event. Anyone who is interested in learning more about the Peace Corps ?
voted by college graduates around the nation as one of the top five most
desirable organizations to work for in 2007 * ? is welcome to ask questions.

students from different social science disciplines come at complex social, 
economic and political issues & controversies from vastly different 
perspectives, asking different questions, offering different ideas about what 
constitutes a good answer, and disagreeing about what constitutes good 
evidence.

Each year the Department of History gives an award (called the "Pressly
Prize," in honor of a very distinguished, past teacher at UW) to recognize
an outstanding high school history teacher in Washington State.  (The award
comes with a plaque and a sizable check, and the recipient is honored at a
ceremony here on campus.) The selection of the recipient is based primarily
on nominations from current UW students.  This year we have had very few
nominations and have decided to extend the deadline. 
 
If you had an outstanding history teacher in high school somewhere in WA and
would like to nominate him or her, simply nominate online at
https://catalysttools.washington.edu/webq/survey/histadv/59613 OR
download a nomination cover sheet athttp://depts.washington.edu/history/studying/undergrad/scholar.html#Pressly
 and submit your nomination to the History Department Undergraduate Advising
Office (Smith 318) by Monday, April 13th.  If your nominee is selected, you
will be invited to attend the award reception as well.
 
I hope you are having a good quarter.

SLink Student Board Position Opening: Spring 2009
 
The Social Science Link is seeking new members for Spring. This is an excellent 
opportunity to get involved with academic advisers, and connect with students 
in similar disciplines. The position requires attending a weekly meeting with 
advisers and the student board, to promote academic exploration of ideas, get 
students connected with faculty members and disciplines, as well as the 
resources available to them here at UW. Board participants are asked to share 
ideas, help at events such as our faculty panel discussions, and contribute 
posts to the SLink blog
(www.socialsciencelink.wordpress.com). We are seeking committed, willing 
students, excited about  being connected to a learning community.
 
If you are interested, please fill out the attached application and submit to 
RM 309 of the Art Building. Email Liz Copland at enc5@u.washington.edu for more 
information.

 Social Sciences Link

What are the links and why do we need them?
	Academic advisers recognize that a significant number of entering undergraduates struggle to develop an academic purpose and identity because the UW does not provide sufficient avenues of encouragement to guide them in thoughtful and intentional explorations of majors and fields of study.  As a result, many students fail to connect with knowledgeable faculty, advisers, classes, and learning options until quite late in their academic careers. 

The goal of the new “Links” is to help students become acquainted with the UW, and it’s resources early on, so that they can find their majors quicker, and more successfully. It also provides opportunities to connect with communities on campus to help link students with people, resources, and opportunities. 

Goals for the Learning Links program: 
•	Share resources and provide coordination for joint projects and services among advising units- departmental advising.
•	Help students quickly and effectively develop realistic and purposeful academic plans and goals. 
•	Connect students with faculty and classes that help them formulate goals and declare majors.  Encourage students to develop two or more major options.
•	Expand the scope of student learning options and goals by empowering them take classes and explore disciplines that are not familiar to them. 
•	Reduce time to degree and increase retention through discipline-specific advising and purposeful academic planning.  
•	Create opportunities for educational student interaction, especially cross-discipline interaction and collaboration. 
•	Work with advisers to create innovative and stimulating ways to reach out to students. 

SLink
	ArtsLink consists of 4 student board members, and two academic advisers from the liberal arts departments. We have weekly meetings together, where we discuss and create opportunities to connect students to their majors quicker, and provide worthwhile experiences for students. 
It is also a goal to find ways for departments within the social sciences to come together and share resources. This allows students to explore outside of their intended discipline.

Course Description
 
This course treats advanced forms of science and technology writing for upper 
division undergraduate and graduate students, and it provides an opportunity 
for students to develop articles that may be considered for publication in 
Northwest Science & Technology online magazine.
 
We compare and contrast the structure of hard news feature to other
forms of nonfiction articles that are used to present technical content to
diverse audiences.  Specifically, we conduct an in-depth analysis of the
narrative form and examine several award-winning examples. The course provides 
an overview of other genres, including profile and review.
 
Students research and write a news feature with narrative lead as well as an 
article using one of the other forms treated in the class;
drafts are critiqued by classmates in writing clinics.
 
The ultimate goal is to be able to exercise deliberate selection and control 
of structure and style in science writing appropriate for the content, context, 
and communication goal. Students keep a writing journal throughout the quarter 
as a tool to develop ideas and techniques, and they learn to write a query 
letter--a specialized form of proposal used to present a story idea to an 
editor.
 
Prerequisites: At least upper division standing and permission of
instructor. Email the instructor for entry code.

Sociological inquiry meets cinematic art and historical deja-vu this
Saturday. February 28th when the Sociology Student Association, in
collaboration with the Northwest Film Forum, presents "Sociology Cinema:
They Shoot Horses Don't They?" with discussant Dr. Mike Mulcahy (Sociology,
University of Washington).
 
 
 
Sociology Cinema pairs films and speakers, with an emphasis on sociological
issues. Organized by UW student members of the Sociology Student Association
(SSA), the event happens quarterly with new films and faculty discussants.
SSA President Sophia Chang speaks of the event,  "not only do students
enhance and apply their understanding of the sociological perspective, but
also [have a chance to] to share their passion for Sociology [with faculty
and other students]".  The February 28th event reaches out to the greater
Seattle moviegoing community, bringing to the forefront sociological
questions about the substance of the film and the social environment that
helped to shape it. This month's event is held off-campus, at the Northwest
Film Forum, a dynamic local organization championing independent cinema and
film-making.
 
 
 
About the Presenter
 
 
 
Dr. Mike Mulcahy is a visiting assistant professor in the University of
Washington Department of Sociology. He received his BA in English Literature
from U.C. Berkeley, followed by a 10 year period living in Germany where he
earned another BA and MA in Philosophy with minors in Sociology and Social
Psychology with specialization in contemporary continental ethical
philosophy. He returned to the U.S. in 1994, spending two years as a
researcher in a substance abuse clinic in San Francisco before entering a

with a concentration in stratification, organizations and political
sociology. He has since taught classes in Social Movements, Political
Sociology, Comparative Social Change, the Sociology of Labor Movements,
Organizational Sociology, Inequality and the Sociology of Human Rights.
Visiting Assistant Professor  Mulcahy lives in Seattle with his wife and
9-month old daughter Joon.
 
 
 
About NW Film Forum
 
 
 
Northwest Film Forum (NWFF) is a Seattle-based non-profit organization
dedicated to becoming the nation's leading center for film artists. Founded
in 1995 by filmmakers Jamie Hook and Deborah Girdwood, NWFF now operates the
region's first and only non-profit center for the film arts. NWFF programs a
true cinematheque, embracing film production as well as film exhibition,
with two cinemas, film production and post-production facilities and
equipment, educational workshop space, filmmaker offices, a film vault
containing over 1,000 titles and a filmmaking library in its space at 1515
12th Ave.
 
 
 
Nearly 1000 members strong, NWFF aides 250 filmmakers in the production of
nearly 80 films, and offers more than 60 workshops annually. Our innovative
Start-to-Finish grant program partners with a local artist to produce a
feature length film, using both for and non-profit funding, a model unique
in the non-profit world. The most recent film, The Immaculate Conception of
Little Dizzle, premiered at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival.
 
 
 
Our cinemas showcase the best in American and international cinema, 360 days
a year, as well as quarterly world premiere live performances. Recent
highlights include: a 27 film retrospective of Japanese filmmaker Yasujiro
Ozu that included ten commissions for live musical scores; Children's Film
Festival Seattle; a lecture and class by legendary designer/filmmaker Pablo
Ferro; a retrospective of the documentaries of Ross McElwee that included a
visit from the artist; and the strongest music film programming in the
nation.
 
 
 
 
 
About the Film
 
 
 
"They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" (USA, 1969, 35mm, 120 min, Rated PG),
director Sydney Pollack's dark and impassioned adaptation of Horace McCoy's
novel, reflects the dreams, ideals and overwhelming feeling of
disenchantment of the 1930s (and the late 60s). Jane Fonda and Michael
Sarrazin star as hopeless Depression-era drifters who struggle to keep their
footing in a grueling dance marathon. A moving story of devotion and
endurance, They Shoot Horses won one Oscar and was nominated for eight more.
 
 
 
This film is a part of the yearlong Northwest Film Forum's "69" series: an
exploration of the films of 1969, presenting a diversity of feature films,
documentaries and experimental works that were seen on screens during that
tumultuous year. 1969 was a moment between times. The year was
simultaneously the epitome and the end of an era. With optimism and fear,
triumphs and tragedies, freedoms and violations, love and war, a decade of
diametric struggles was coming to an end. Forty years later, as we close out
the first decade of the 21st Century, 1969 is a reflection of the kinds of
issues, dilemmas, creative sparks, contradictions and open future that we
face today, in our world and our cinema.

The 2009 Summer Institute in the Arts & Humanities
Shifting Empire: Critical Imperial Studies in the Americas & Beyond
June 22nd – August 21st, 2009
HUM 498 A & B (12 credits)
 
APPLICATION: www.washington.edu/research/urp/sinst
 
APPLICATION DUE: Friday, March 13th
 
MARY GATES SCHOLARSHIP AMOUNT: $3000
 
CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
 
This year’s Institute examines the concept of empire through diverse 
(inter)disciplinary perspectives. Under the guidance of four faculty, students 
will probe the multiple struggles and negotiations that continue to shape the 
organization of the U.S. empire within the Americas and beyond. Focusing on the 
Philippines and Caribbean islands as key sites where the Empire’s material and 
ideological boundaries were drawn, contested, and reconfigured, it reexamines 
relations among three regions (Asia, the Caribbean, and the U.S.) that scholars 
have perceived as radically distinct. Institute students will explore the 
interrelations among these three regions through multidisciplinary research 
methodologies (e.g., textual, ethnographic, performance-based) and archives 
(e.g. state policies, legal challenges, literary works, media texts, oral 
interviews). Students will interrogate existing definitions of “empire,” 
uncover the circulation of commodities, peoples, practices, and ideas across 
imperial fields and diasporic communities, and open new areas of inquiry that 
they will pursue in individual and collaborative research projects of their own 
design. In the process they will gain skill in self-reflectively 
conceptualizing and producing crossdisciplinary research, with race, gender, 
and sexuality as important touchstones for this process.
 
The Summer Institute in the Arts & Humanities selects and supports twenty 
undergraduates to engage in intensive research projects under the guidance of 
four interdisciplinary instructors. Selected students receive a Mary Gates 
Scholarship of $3000 and earn 12 academic credits for this full-time research 
experience.
 
Students with curiosity about race, place, community and political formations, 
and cultural practices are encouraged to apply. No prior studies in this field 
are required.

Community Literacy Program (CLP) for Spring 2009: CLP is an 8 credit 
service-learning program combining English 198A (reading, research and writing 
seminar) and Education 401C (classroom volunteer work in one of our partner 
Seattle public elementary schools).
 
Since the program began in 1992, nearly 800 UW students at all levels and from 
a wide variety of majors have found the opportunity valuable in putting their 
learning into action, and in gaining experience to make decisions about majors 
and careers.  The Education 401 component of CLP meets practicum requirements 
for the Education, Learning and Society minor, and the English 198 course may 
be used to satisfy the 5 credit composition requirement, or toward the 10 
credit "W" requirement.

Director, Community Literacy Program

---------

Are you a UW student interested in helping children succeed in school?
Considering a career in education? Looking for real world experience to help
you choose a major? A way to understand and address social inequality? A way to 
improve your your research, writing, and collaborative learning and 
presentation skills?   If you answered yes to any of these questions, the 
Community Literacy Program (CLP) may be just what you're looking for.
 
HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS: Community Literacy Program (CLP) is an 8 credit program
linking two courses: English 198A and Education 401C. In English 198A you'll
meet twice weekly on campus, MW 10:30-12:20, in a writing-intensive seminar
focused on effective methods of working with elementary school children, on
some central challenges and opportunities for public education, and on ways to
be meaningfully involved in these issues while developing your research and 
writing skills.  In EDUC 401, you'll put what you learn on campus into action, 
volunteering (4-5 hours a week, on a schedule you arrange) in one of our 
partner Seattle public elementary schools: Thornton Creek School (AE2), Olympic 
Hills Elementary or The New School @ Columbia.  CLP alumni serve as 
undergraduate Head Tutors/Peer Mentors at each of our partner schools, and, 
along with the instructor, are available to support you in all aspects of the 
program.
 
WHO SHOULD REGISTER?: The Community Literacy Program welcomes students at any
stage of their UW careers, and typically includes students from a wide variety
of majors and interests.  Some are upper division students who want to
investigate career directions in teaching, social work, counseling, social
justice, policy studies, law or pediatric medicine. Some are lower division
students looking for a connection between experience and academic learning to
help them decide on a major. Some are looking for a small seminar-style course,
for an engaging way to earn a "W" or "Composition" credit or, in the words of
Dr. Paul Farmer, for a way to "use what you learn to transform yourselves and
your community."  CLP is also an excellent way to work toward the classroom
experience necessary for students applying to Masters in Teaching programs or
completing the practicum requirement for the Education, Learning and Society
minor. CLP alums have gone on to teach in Washington, California, Oregon, New
York, Mexico, Brazil and beyond.
 
REGISTRATION INFORMATION: To sign up for the Community Literacy Program,
register for EDUC 401C (SLN 12779) and then English 198A (SLN 12968).  UW
students can take up to 15 credits of English 198, and can count it toward
either the "W" or the "Composition" requirement, so you're welcome to sign up
for CLP even if you've already taken a writing link.  No add codes are required
until period 3 (when classes begin).
 
QUESTIONS?  Additional information is available at the program web site:
faculty.washington.edu/esoneill/clp. Please feel free to get in touch with the
director, Dr. Elizabeth Simmons-O'Neill, if you've got questions.

ICTs & The Environment: What are the environmental impacts of information and communication technologies in the developing world, and how can we use these new technologies to improve the environment?
 
WHAT: A research discussion with Teresa Peters (formerly with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Global Libraries Program) to discuss ICTs and the environment (follow link to posting: http://www.cis.washington.edu/2009/02/brown-bag/).
WHERE: Parrington Hall, Commons (3rd Floor)
WHEN: February 17th, 2008 12-1pm
 
 
ABSTRACT: Environmental issues cut across all areas of development, but in the area of information and communications technology for development (ICTD) many environmental costs and benefits appear in even starker contrast. ICT can serve as a valuable tool to help protect the environment - for example, as a means for monitoring and managing complex environmental systems. But technology also raises serious environmental concerns - especially for developing countries - in particular related to power and e-waste. Developing country governments expect to have the same opportunity to exploit natural resources as other countries have had on their path to development, and protecting the environment is often pitted against other more pressing development concerns. Yet, given what is known today about the risks to future generations if steps are not taken now to protect the environment, it is short-sighted not to consider the environmental aspects of any development activities. Since ICT plays such an important role in development, the environmental impact of increased ICT use in developing countries merits special attention. Teresa will initiate the discussion with issues she raises in a brief concept paper (follow link to see full paper: http://www.cis.washington.edu/documents/ICT-Env.pdf).
 
In addition to the discussion, Teresa is keen to identify a masters or PhD-level student interested in research collaboration on this topic. This opportunity is open to students interested for this and/or next academic year.
ABOUT TERESA PETERS: Teresa Peters is a partner at Kickstand Consulting working on a range of issues related to the use of information and communications technology to achieve social goals. She is also exploring new ground in the field as a research affiliate with the Center for Information & Society at the University of Washington. Recently, Teresa was a Senior Program Officer with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, where she worked on the Global Libraries program as a senior member of a 13-person team on a $328M initiative to bring effective, sustainable public access to ICT in developing-country libraries. Teresa is a lawyer with a background in technology, policy, and development, with experience working at the highest levels of international policy-making and in ground-level projects in developing countries and disadvantaged communities. She founded bridges.org in 1999, an award-winning nonprofit organization based in Africa that promoted the effective use of information communications technology and business processes for socio-economic development. Previously, Teresa was an official at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) based in Paris, where she led the efforts of the Committee on Information, Computers and Communications Policy in authentication, cryptography and security of information systems. Teresa has been an active voice in the global conversation on the digital divide and electronic commerce and has been involved in civil and human rights efforts in Latin America, Africa, Europe and North America. In 2003, the World Economic Forum named her a Global Leader of Tomorrow. A native of Ohio, Teresa holds a JD from Washington College of Law at American University and a BA in Anthropology from Ohio State University.

Course Description
 
This course treats advanced forms of science and technology writing for
upper division undergraduate and graduate students, and provides an
opportunity for students to develop articles that may be considered for
publication in Northwest Science & Technology online magazine.
 
We compare and contrast the structure of hard news feature to other
forms of nonfiction articles that are used to present technical content to
diverse audiences.  Specifically, we conduct an in-depth analysis of the
narrative form and examine several award-winning examples. The course
provides an overview of other genres, including profile and review.
 
Students research and write a news feature with narrative lead as well as
an article using one of the other forms treated in the class;
drafts are critiqued by classmates in writing clinics.
 
The ultimate goal is to master different structures and to be able
to exercise deliberate selection and control of structure and
style in science writing appropriate for the content, context, and
communication goal. Students keep a writing journal throughout the quarter
as a tool to develop ideas and techniques, and they learn to write a query
letter-a specialized form of proposal used to present a story idea to an
editor.
 
Prerequisites: At least upper division standing and permission of
instructor. Email the instructor for entry code.

Thurs, Feb 5 		The March of the Penguins
 			Introduction: TBD
 
In the Antarctic, every March since the beginning of time, the quest begins to 
find the perfect mate and start a family. This courtship will begin with a long 
journey - a journey that will take emperor penguins hundreds of miles across 
the continent by foot, one by one in a single file. They will endure freezing 
temperatures, in brittle, icy winds and through deep, treacherous waters. They 
will risk starvation and attack by dangerous predators, under the harshest 
conditions on earth, all to find true love.
 
Thurs, Feb 19            The Perfect Storm
 		          Introduction: TBD
 
Based on a true story, Billy Tyne (George Clooney), captain of the Andrea Gail, 
hasn't had much luck finding catch on his most recent trips to sea, and with 
money short, he and his crew -- Bob Shatford (Mark Wahlberg), Dale Murphy (John

that the fish are running. Billy's hunch proves correct, but when the ship's

pride. If you know students who would be outstanding representatives of our
world-class institution, please forward them this email and encourage them

RE: 12th Annual  Undergraduate Research Symposium, which will be on Friday, May 15th, 2009.
 
To present their work at this event, students must submit an application by 
Friday, February 20th, 2009.
 
The Symposium is a celebration of undergraduate accomplishments in research, 
scholarship, and creative expression in all academic disciplines. Students may 
present their research either in a poster or in an oral presentation session. 
We will also have a (small) performance space in nearby Meany Hall to allow 
students in the performing arts to participate. Last year, over 650 
undergraduates presented their work in this exciting event and we expect this 
year’s celebration to be our biggest yet.
 
You should receive a poster(s) via campus mail shortly and we thank you in 
advance for posting these in your department. If you would like additional 
posters email us at: urp@u.washington.edu. We also invite you put a link to 
this year’s Symposium application on your own departmental website, as desired.
 
If you or your department’s faculty would like a URP staff member to briefly 
present about the symposium in your courses or to student groups, please email 
us at urp@u.washington.edu. For further details, including a list of 
information sessions about the symposium and abstract writing workshops to 
assist students with their applications, visit 
http://exp.washington.edu/urp/symp.
 
Thank you very much for encouraging your students to apply and attend this 
exciting event. I hope to see you there.

organized by local community partners to take place on January 19^th .
Projects include environmental restoration with Washington Trails
Association, brightening spaces for homeless women with the Compass
Center, advocating for the homeless with Real Change, helping the
Seattle Tilth Association demonstrate organic urban food production,
sewing aprons for the toymakers at Giving Tree, and MORE. (Projects are
available to leaders on a first-come, first-serve basis).
 
As a project leader, you have the option of recruiting your own team, so you can volunteer with your colleagues, students, friends and/or family. This is an exciting opportunity to build relationships while serving our community. Or, simply sign up to lead a project without recruiting your own team, and meet new people from the University of Washington community. Make Martin Luther King, Jr. Day a day ON and sign up to lead a project for the annual Day of Service!
 
Project Leader training sessions (45 min.) are available on Nov. 26,
Dec. 1, 2, 3, & 4.

Win 09 Course Announcement

Marketing 490A: Special Topics in Marketing:
Marketing and Society

Marketing is seen narrowly as the provision of what will satisfy consumers’ needs and wants at a profit, or more broadly as the management of exchange relationships in our society.

Marketing has played and can play a big role in creating and exacerbating societal problems, and it can play a big role in addressing and helping to solve those societal problems.

In this well-received course, we will examine and discuss societal issues related to marketing that business managers consider in the management of their business activities, including:

•	marketing as need satisfaction vs. need creation
•	environmental and social sustainability of marketing practices, including environmental marketing and greenwashing, social justice and Fair Trade
•	energy use and efficiency
•	privacy issues & consumer security, including media literacy
•	Web 2.0—new communications methods
•	marketing of ‘dangerous’ goods, including tobacco, alcohol, gambling, and some fast food
•	nutrition and obesity issues
•	advertising and marketing to children
•	nonprofit marketing and social marketing efforts
•	and other topics, according to the interests of the class members

These are current and compelling topics.  Come and join us as we read, debate, and discuss these current issues in marketing.  The class activities will include discussions, debates, project work, guest speakers, and readings from a course packet of current writing and research on marketing & society issues.

MKTG 490A will meet:    Winter Quarter, 2009,  T Th 8:30 – 10:20, BLM 416

Community Literacy Program (CLP)
for Winter 2009. CLP is an 8 credit service-learning program combining English 198A (reading,research and writing seminar) and Education 401C (classroom volunteer work in one of our partner Seattle public elementary schools).
 
Since the program began in 1992, UW students at all levels and from a wide
variety of majors have found the opportunity valuable in putting their learning
into action, and in gaining experience to make decisions about majors and
careers. This course meets practicum requirements for the Education, Learning
and Society minor, and the English 198 course may be used to satisfy the 5
credit composition requirement, or toward the 10 credit "W" requirement.
 
---

Are you a UW student interested in helping children succeed in school?
Considering a career in education? Looking for real world experience to help
you choose a major? Seeking a way to give back to the community, or to improve
your your research, writing, and collaborative learning and presentation
skills? If you answered yes to any of these questions, the Community Literacy
Program (CLP) may be just what you're looking for.
 
HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS: Community Literacy Program (CLP) is an 8 credit program linking two courses: English 198A and Education 401C. In English 198A you'll
meet twice weekly on campus, MW 10:30-12:20, in a writing-intensive seminar
focused on effective methods of working with elementary school children, on
some central challenges and opportunities for public education, and on ways to
be meaningfully involved in these issues while developing your research and writing skills. In EDUC 401, you'll put what you learn on campus into action, volunteering (4-5 hours a week, on a schedule you arrange) in one of our partner Seattle public elementary schools: Alternative Elementary II, Olympic Hills Elementary or The New School @ Columbia. CLP alumni serve as undergraduate Head Tutors/Peer Mentors at each of our partner schools, and, along with the instructor, are available to support you in all aspects of the program.
 
WHO SHOULD REGISTER?: The Community Literacy Program welcomes students at any stage of their UW careers, and typically includes students from a wide variety
of majors and interests. Some are upper division students who want to
investigate career directions in teaching, social work, counseling, social
justice, policy studies, law or pediatric medicine. Some are lower division
students looking for a connection between experience and academic learning to
help them decide on a major. Some are looking for a small seminar-style course,
for an engaging way to earn a "W" or "Composition" credit or, in the words of
Dr. Paul Farmer, for a way to "use what you learn to transform yourselves and
your community." CLP is also an excellent way to work toward the classroom
experience necessary for students applying to Masters in Teaching programs or
completing the practicum requirement for the Education, Learning and Society
minor. CLP alums have gone on to teach in Washington, California, Oregon, New
York, Brazil and beyond.
 
REGISTRATION INFORMATION: To sign up for the Community Literacy Program,
register for EDUC 401C (SLN 12799) and then English 198A (SLN 13005). UW
students can take up to 15 credits of English 198, and can count it toward
either the "W" or the "Composition" requirement, so you're welcome to sign up
for CLP even if you've already taken a writing link. No add codes are required
for periods 1 and 2.
 
QUESTIONS? Additional information is available at the program web site:
faculty.washington.edu/esoneill/clp. Please feel free to get in touch with the
director, Dr. Elizabeth Simmons-O'Neill, if you've got questions.

Twilight is an upcoming 2008 romance fantasy film directed by Catherine Hardwicke and based on the novel of the same name by Stephenie Meyer. The film stars Kristen Stewart as a teenage girl who falls in love with a vampire, played by Robert Pattinson. The project was in development for approximately three years before it was put into pre-production by Summit Entertainment. The novel was adapted for the screen by Melissa Rosenberg in the autumn of 2007, shortly before the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike. The film was primarily shot in Oregon during the winter and spring of 2008. Twilight will be released domestically on November 21, 2008. The soundtrack will be released on November 4, 2008.

Plot Synopsis:

Seventeen-year-old Isabella "Bella" Swan moves to the small town of Forks, Washington to live with her father, Charlie. There, she finds herself drawn to a mysterious classmate, Edward Cullen, who is revealed to be a 108-year-old vampire who is physically 17. Although Edward discourages the romance at first, they soon fall deeply in love. When the arrival of three nomadic vampires, James, Laurent and Victoria, puts Bella's life in danger, Edward and his family, Alice, Carlisle, Esme, Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie, put their lives at stake to save her.

The structure of the program seeks to develop students’ leadership through a
synthesis of seminar-style and experiential learning. Every Wednesday during

leadership practices; topics range from public speaking and interviewing to
being a leader in a multicultural society. The learning done in these
workshop-style meetings is deepened through small group projects, which are
designed and implemented by program participants according to their interests
and goals. Along the way, students will have the opportunity to collaborate and
build relationships with UW Leaders mentors who have already established
themselves as leaders in our community. UW Leaders is currently seeking its

Course Description:

This course is designed to introduce upper-division undergraduate and graduate
students to science and technology news writing. We explore the science news
publishing process and key issues involved in communicating about science and
technology with general audiences. Students learn the structure of science news
articles and press releases; they examine issues of balance and accuracy; and
they study the interaction between technical sources, public information
officers, reporters, and readers.

Using case studies taken from the print and broadcast media, we examine ways to
treat some of the most difficult problems in communicating technical content to
general readers, including issues in experimental design; correlation vs.
causation; and evaluating risk.

Students have the opportunity to build their writing portfolios through
assignments that treat the news brief, news article, and press release. Articles
may be considered for publication in Northwest Science & Technology
(www.nwst.org). Students completing this class should possess the conceptual
understanding as well as the practical experience needed for a position as a
science reporter, writer, or editor for a major publication; as a freelance
writer; as a communication officer, writer, or editor for a high-technology
organization; or as a scientist or engineer who is prepared to interact with
members of the media and general public.

Add code required--email the instructor at illman@u.washington.edu for a code.

news writing skills while developing a special focus on innovative technologies,
environmental issues, and sustainable business practices. Courses cover news,
feature, and creative nonfiction writing along with an internship experience and
portfolio project. Students may apply for the year-long program or they may
enroll for individual courses on a space-available basis.

new MBA and Certificate programs to prepare diverse leaders to build enterprises
that are economically successful, socially responsible, and environmentally
sustainable.

_______________________________________________

        I would like to extend a special invitation to UW students to
        submit your work to the new online magazine, /The Hatchet/
        (www.thehatchet.net 
        ), which I edit and write for. If you
        have or would like to write a piece that follows the guidelines
below, I'd love to read it.

        *A friendly tip:* this is not a student-only publication, and it
        is certainly not a scholarly one. The reason many of the
        submissions so far have been rejected is because they dealt with
        scholarly or theoretical issues (or just sounded, for one reason
        or another, too much like generic "college work"). Take a look
        at the pieces currently on the site, or at
        www.themorningnews.org 
        , www.mcsweeneys.net
         , or
        www.newyorker.com 
         for an idea of the tone and subject
        matter we enjoy.


        Happy writing!
        Haidn

        *The original email, with guidelines, etc., is below:

        *
        Hello all,


        */The Hatchet/* (www.thehatchet.net 
        ), a *new online magazine*, is
        *currently seeking submissions* from exceptionally
        funny/intelligent/insightful students, to be published on the
        site with your byline and a brief (1-3 sentence) biography. This
        is a great way to get your name out there and be involved in the
        formative days of a newly established publication.



        *What we're looking for*

        Essays of almost any length (though tight writing tends to be
        better than overly-verbose: brevity, as they say, is the soul of
        wit).

        These essays should fall into one of the following categories:

           * Funny
           * Intelligent
           * Insightful

        Also, pieces might explore the following subjects:

           * Personal experience
           * Culture, pop culture
           * Current events

        Done well, however, almost any subject will be considered. For
        some great examples of the type of writing we're looking for,
        take a look at www.newyorker.com 
        , www.mcsweeneys.net
         , and/or
        www.themorningnews.org 
        .


        *Submissions procedure*

        Either email haidn@thehatchet.net 
        > or
        visit www.thehatchet.net/contact
        
         to submit your piece.
        Remember to give your name as you wish it to appear in the
        publication, as well as a 1-3 sentence biography of yourself.
        /Emailed essays must be pasted into the body of the email;
        /*attachments are not read*. If special formatting is required,
        detail that in your email.

        *
        Submissions must not have been previously published online*;
        /The Hatchet/ retains all online rights to submissions it
        chooses to publish. Though we cannot offer compensation at this
        time, we can offer you immortality in what we expect to be /the/
        up-and-coming internet publication.


        *Thank you for your interest, and we look forward to reading all
        of your submissions!*


        Sincerely,

        Haidn Ellis Foster

Children of Incarcerated Parents Forum
Sat., May 17th 11:00-2:00PM


This Saturday May 17, 2008, 11:00am to 2:00pm, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Puget Sound and the Washington State Department of Corrections will host a Forum about Children of Incarcerated Parents, and the issues these families face in our society.  Big Brothers Big Sisters of Puget Sound is a non-profit agency, and we match children aged from 4-yrs old to 16-yrs old with caring adult mentors. Currently we have over 200 children in our mentoring program that have a parent or loved one incarcerated in a state or federal prison.  Unfortunately, the presence of these children in our communities often goes unnoticed, and their experiences remain hidden.  We're extending this invitation, so you can learn more about how incarceration affects a family, and what everyone can do to help. 

Please RSVP by calling 1.877.700.2447 ext. 252 for location information in
Federal Way.

Coffee and snacks will be provided.

Live with Japanese and Chinese university students, aged 19-25, this
summer while living in the UW dormitories (for FREE) for three
weeks-August 4-August 25. The students are attending an intensive
environmental studies conference at the UW and would like to get to know
UW students during the evenings and weekends. Keio University, the host
of the program, would like to have 4-6 UW students live in the UW dorm
with the program students as roommates. In addition to living in the
dormitory for free, UW students will receive free HFS meal cards in the
same amounts as the Keio program students.

UW students interested in this opportunity should have a genuine
interest in being friends with Japanese and Chinese students and they
should be able to make themselves available most evenings (not
necessarily all) to have dinner with the students and do some activities
with them, such as help them with their studies, play sports, sight see,
work out or go shopping. The Keio program students are curious, usually
independent and have varying levels of English skills; all are
conversationally proficient in English.

Previous experience working with international students or camp
counselor experience is preferred but not required. Knowledge of
Japanese and/or Chinese language not required.

Read more about the program on Keio University's website:

If you have questions or are interested in this opportunity, please
contact Cheryl Wheeler at cwheeler@extn.washington.edu with a statement
of interest and your resume. References may be requested.

POETRY IN FRIDAY HARBOR

http://depts.washington.edu/engl/cw/poetryfh.php

Led by English Dept Faculty Richard Kenney and Cody Walker, the Poetry in Friday
Harbor program is a seminar in the art and practice of poetry.  There will be
lecture and discussion, reading, critique, informal chat and solitary time for
composition. All comers welcome: no experience is presumed; a wide range of
experience is anticipated.

Dates:  September 8 through September 19th, 2008

Location:  UW's Friday Harbor Laboratories on San Juan Island. Participants will
be housed in student quarters at the marine station, and will take meals
together at the dining hall.

How to Apply:  Please send a letter of inquiry and the attached application form
to Richard Kenney (rk@u.washington.edu) AND to Cody Walker
(codyw@u.washington.edu).  We've reserved accommodation for just 15 students.
We expect the seminar to fill quickly!

Application deadline:  May 30, 2008.  If the program fills before this final
deadline, a waiting list will be established.

*Cost:  $650 (includes instructional costs, housing, and 3 meals a day)

A $250, non-refundable deposit will be due upon acceptance to the program, with
the remaining balance of $400 due no later than August 29, 2008.

Credits:  Participants will receive five credits of English 493 (Advanced
Creative Writing Conference). Credits may be reassigned to cover certain
prerequisite courses in the Creative Writing track of the English major.

*Course credits will be included in students' AUTUMN 08 schedules (which may
have implications for total tuition owed, depending on how many total credits a
student takes during Autumn Quarter).

What is poetry? What are its forms and ways and means? What are its affinities
with other forms of knowing, such as natural science, as practiced famously at
the marine station? What is a poet’s relation to the natural world? Such
widely-ranging questions, and others of mutual interest, will be explored in an
experimental spirit at the point of the pencil: this is intended to be a
practical apprenticeship in the poet’s art, rather than a theoretical or
critically-minded literary seminar. In that spirit, writing will be constant and
joyful. We’ll meet twice daily, with open time between. Expect lectures and
discussion on the following topics: poetry and play, poetry and comedy, poetry
and the natural world, nursery rhymes and nonsense, tone and gesture, and the
generative nature of poetic constraints.

We're not planning to replace Bow Down to Washington. But we'd like to have a new song that is so galvanizing, memorable and significant that it can be sung on any special occasion -- at Commencement, at the end of a football victory, at any other prominent event.

For contest rules and an entry form, go to
http://www.washington.edu/discovery/uwsong/. The deadline is May 28. 

Have fun and good luck!

            positive ROI at large corporations and small businesses.

     When organizations like the US Army, Starbucks and Nike have questions about the exciting, but often complex world of sustainable business practices, they call Sustainability Partners. Managing Partner Brian Nattrass will discuss the financial and strategic benefits of embracing sustainable business. In today's global economy, sustainability needs to be bigger than a buzz word, examined at a deeper level and applied to financial/operational models.

3.  Free Food...and not just any food...really, really good food!

deny one or more of your social identities....and this ritual, grounded
in active resistance to oppression, celebrates all of you!

Graduation is open to any student eligible, at any level (undergraduate
or graduate/professional) for graduation in the 2007-2008 academic year.

This spring, GFIS has seen an increase in the number of graduate students coming
to the UW this fall who were not aware that they needed to be applying for
funding at the same time they were applying for graduate programs. Many
deadlines for funding for the 2008/09 academic year have already passed. I hope
you will pass this information on to your undergraduate students who may be
thinking about applying to graduate school and encourage them to start thinking
about their funding possibilities early!

Looking for funding to support your Graduate School tuition or
thesis?  Need to find support to attend a conference or seminar?
Interested in studying or doing research abroad?  Getting ready to apply to
Graduate School for the first time?

The Grants and Funding Information Service (GFIS) offers quarterly
workshops free of charge to UW graduate students and applicants to UW
graduate departments covering methods of searching for funding available
outside the university.


Workshop #1: Introduction to Searching covers general principles
of searching for funding, print resources, campus resources and
the Internet, in a lecture format.

Workshop #2: Database Searching covers the intricacies of two
funding databases, COS and Grant Select, in a hands-on computer
lab experience.

To register for workshops, email gfis@u.washington.edu with your
name,department, and preferred workshop dates.
If there is not a workshop date that works for you, schedule a one-on-one
consultation by emailing GFIS at the same

As part of our 2007-2008 lecture series, The Disability Studies Program at the
University of Washington is pleased present:

David Serlin (Dept. of Communication, University of California, San Diego).
"Touching Histories: Personality and Disability in Sex Studies of the 1930s"
Thursday, May 1, 2008  -  4:00 PM
UW Communication 120

David Serlin is an Associate Professor in the Department of Communication at the
University of California, San Diego, where he is also affiliated faculty in
Critical Gender Studies and Science Studies. He is the author of, Replaceable
You: Engineering the Body in Postwar America, which was awarded the 2005 Alan
Bray Book Prize by the Modern Language Association; the coeditor of two
anthologies, Policing Public Sex: Queer Politics and the Future of AIDS Activism
and Artificial Parts, Practical Lives: Modern Histories of Prosthetics; and the
editor of the forthcoming Imagining Illness: Public Health and Visual Culture.

Touching Histories investigates a set of psychological and anatomical studies
conducted by Carney Landis, a colleague of Alfred Kinseys, on a group of
young disabled women living in the New York City metropolitan region during the
late 1930s. The results of Landiss work arguably set the stage for studies in
the 1940s and 1950s that linked the psychic properties of personality deficiency
together with those of sexual deficiency. Serlins presentation explores the
significance Landis accorded to the developmental aspects of touch and tactility
among these women and their care-givers, and how Landis deployed the category of
touch within discussions of disability, personality, and sexual subjectivity.

Sponsored by the Simpson Center for the Humanities at the University of
Washington.

Learn more about the work of Peace Corps environment volunteers from Mark
Howard, International Program Manager for EarthCorps and former Peace
Corps Volunteer.  Don't miss this opportunity to learn about what kind of
work volunteers do and how Peace Corps service will impact your future.

 
The Work of Environmental Volunteers

Peace Corps Volunteer Environmental Educators work at the grassroots
level to assist and involve people in resolving and preventing
environmental issues that are in conflict with a community's basic needs
for farming and income generation. Living in an urban or rural area,
Volunteers are involved in a wide variety of both formal and non-formal
environmental education activities, and are placed at all levels of
formal schooling from elementary to university level. They also work
directly with community groups and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
In collaboration with host-country nationals, a Volunteer may be involved
in any of the following types of projects:

 

 *  School-based Environmental Education
 *  Community-based Environmental Education
 *  Environmental Education in Protected Areas
 *  Organizational Development

 

As a Peace Corps Volunteer you can make a tremendous contribution to the
lives of others. At the same time, you discover that your experience is
as much about your learning as it is about teaching.

 

Volunteer service develops or accentuates your professional abilities and
enhances your personal growth. Virtually all returning Volunteers agree
they have received far more than they have given. Recent college
graduates gain hands-on experience and often further define their career
goals. Others confirm their commitment to their profession and receive
career-boosting international experience. Retirees bring their
accumulated life experiences to those who need and respect them.

 

Some of the many benefits that come with Peace Corps service include:
student loan deferment and/or partial cancellation, transportation to and
from country of service, in-country training, medical and dental care,
living allowance, 48 paid vacation days, a $6,000+ "readjustment"
allowance upon completion, graduate school opportunities, etc.

3.  Free Food...and not just any food...really, really good food!

deny one or more of your social identities....and this ritual, grounded
in active resistance to oppression, celebrates all of you!

or graduate/professional) for graduation in the 2007-2008 academic year.

SUBJECT: Washington Undergraduate Law Review: Informational Meeting for
Spring Quarter

 

Seize this unique and valuable opportunity to become a part of the
Washington Undergraduate Law Review! 

 

We are an undergraduate-run, academic legal journal at the University of

and precise writing, but also explore the world of legal research and
writing. 

 

In barely a year of existence, we have received over 100 submissions from
undergraduates, graduates, and law school students representing over 25
of the most prestigious universities from around the nation.  Our legal
journal has also made it into the law school libraries of Stanford,
Harvard, Columbia, Yale, UW, and other law schools.  If you are seriously
considering law school or graduate school, and would like to be involved
in a meaningful activity to pursue that goal, the WULR is an opportunity
you won't want to miss!

 

Our informational meeting for Spring Quarter will be:

Interested in learning how your time at the U.W. can lead to strong
leadership positions and experiences after college?  Or how diverse ideas
of citizenship affect the way that you can impact change in your
community?
 
The Honors Program at the University of Washington is proud to present
"Leadership and Citizenship: Lessons from UW Alums" this Spring
Quarter. Each week exciting U.W. alums will return to campus to speak
with students about how their university experiences helped them achieve
prominent leadership positions and careers. Students can register for
this one credit (CR/NC) lecture series as H A&S 100 (SLN 13550). No add
code is required. The series will take place every other Thursday
starting April 3rd, from 3:30-4:20 p.m.  
 
Participants include Norm Rice, former mayor of Seattle, The Blue
Scholars, Seattle hip-hop group, Mike Egan, Director of Corporate Affairs
at the Microsoft Corporation, and Assunta Ng, Editor and Publisher of the
Northwest Asian Weekly.
 
Students interested in studying and discussing these issues with the
speakers in a smaller setting are also encouraged to instead register for
HA&S 350 C. This 2 credit seminar included attending the lecture series,
but also allows for deeper engagement with the topics, and a chance for a
more intimate conversation with the alumi lecturer each week. The seminar
will culminate in a managable service learning project that will allow
students to see leadership in action and more deeply experience and
question what it means to be both a leader and citizen in one's
community. You will need an add code from the honors office to register
for this class. Email uwhonors@u.washington.edu for an add code.
 
Please contact course instructor Tara Olson, tarao@u.washington.edu with
any questions.

As we are in the midst of finals, we discover that our stresses and anxieties do
not take a break when we are distressed. U-CALL and U-TYPE are two resources
provided by Hall Health and the SAF for students who want to talk through their
feelings in a safe, nonjudgmental space.

U-CALL, the University Community After-hours Listening Line, will remain open
for operation during finals week. Students may call (206) 543-2255 to speak
anonymously and confidentially to another UW student volunteer between the hours
of 5:30 PM and 7:30 AM.

U-TYPE.org will also be responding to anonymous messages. Visit the website for

Student Taxes for International Students:
DATE: Tuesday, March 11, 2008
TIME: Session 1: 1:30pm - 2:30pm
      Session 2: 2:30pm - 3:30pm
LOCATION: HUB 209A

The Office of International Students and Scholars and Student Fiscal Services
co-sponsor this student tax class for International Students. International
students may receive tax forms related to the US source funds they receive. 

The information contained in these forms can be confusing. This session will focus on helping students understand the 1042S forms sent out by the UW Student Fiscal Services Office, and will also cover international student tax-related issues. This class is appropriate for both undergraduate and graduate students and is offered free of charge.

In honor of Women's History Month, the UW Women's Center will be showing /Iron Jawed Angels/, an HBO film starring Hillary Swank, Angelica Huston, Frances O'Connor and Julia Ormand, which tells the story of the suffragists who fought for the passage of the 19th Amendment granting women the right tow vote. Focusing on Lucy Burns (O'Connor) and Alice Paul (Swank), the film captures an important moment in US History. It is a must see, an inspirational tale that reminds us all not to take the right to vote for granted.

Please join us at the Women's Center in celebrating Women's History month by
recognizing the courage and sacrifices of these amazing women and enjoying a creative presentation of a movement and time which defined not only women's history, but the history of the U.S.

This is a free event, pop corn and refreshments will be served. All are welcome!

ASIS&T UW is currently seeking poster submissions for our iEdge 2008
Conference.  This half-day conference will culminate in a poster session
showcasing innovative and creative work relating to information studies from
the University of Washington community.  The poster session will be held in
conjunction with a reception and mixer to encourage a mingling of ideas
between students, faculty and professionals from 6 to 9 pm on April 2nd
2008.  Anyone associated with the UW community is eligible to present a
poster including students, faculty, staff and alumni.

Poster proposals must be about unique work you have done either individually
or with a group. Posters DO NOT have to be created yet. Some possible topics
include - but are not limited to - capstone project ideas, class group
projects, thesis ideas, projects you've been working on for an internship,
or as part of your job. You can describe work you've already done, in
progress or even just thinking about doing. This is a low-key environment
accompanied by food, drink and a social mixer and is a great way to get some
experience presenting a poster. Students are highly encouraged to submit.

If you are interested in submitting a poster idea, please provide a brief
description (250 words max) of the work about which you intend to create a
poster. Please fill out this online submission form .

Dear UW Student,

We are a group of Foster School of Business students working on an academic project in partnership with a national wireless services provider. Please provide us your help by completing our brief survey. The information and insights from this survey will be used to design future UW wireless services that better meet the needs of students on the UW campus. This survey is completely anonymous. All the responses will be held strictly confidential and used only for research purposes.

This will help us tremendously in our effort to do justice to our independent
study project. We appreciate your help.

Thanks in advance,

Global MBA Class 2008 students Tatiana Shamgunova and Prarthana Mistry
