This intensive three-day grant proposal workshop is geared for: 1) those who

how to effectively write proposals in times of keen competition and limited

education and non-profit professionals.
Participants Will Learn How to:
1. Navigate the world of grant procurement
2. Research and identify potential funding sources
3. Address the guidelines of federal and foundation applications
4. Focus foundation and corporate giving for the State of Washington
5. Understand the new federal guidelines for writing winning grants
6. Know the review process and how to address key points for reviewers
7. Write winning grants that stand out against scores of competing
submissions
8. Develop focused and realistic budgets
9. Demonstrate that one????s proposal merits excellence and innovation
10. Package professional grant submissions
 
Our ultimate goal is for each participant to walk away with a product
specific to their interests that includes the grant design, abstract and
budget.
Thus, the opportunity to influence the future of your work and ideas is
within your reach. Understanding this reality, institutions are willing to
minimally invest in the training of their staff to make this happen.

Research indicates that women who successfully defended themselves quickly
recognized threatening situations and enforced their boundaries, if
necessary by physical means. Learn to recognize assailant ploys and
manipulations and how to thwart them. Practice releases from common grabs
and decisive strikes to vital targets. Assess your risks, and plan around
them. Understand the connections between awareness, threats, and our media
environment.

The Kaplan Business School Blueprint 2012 is a free series of events this month that is perfect for people who may be interested in business school down the line to get a head start on succeeding in this process.

The 5-day series will begin on Sunday evening, January 22, and there is an event every day through Thursday the 26th. Here’s the agenda of events:

·         Business School: Why—and Where—to Go

·         Application Metrics: Your MBA Scorecard

·         100 Hours: A GMAT Study Plan

·         Free GMAT Training Session and the New GMAT Section

·         The Second Annual MBA Night

The first four events are online and can be attended from anywhere. The free registration is open at http://www.kaplanGMAT.com.

In our experience, January is a perfect time to “get started early” and “do things right” when it comes to planning important steps such as graduate education and everything that goes into a successful application. Previously, I’ve mentioned how the test is changing as well. The Blueprint 2012 series will cover the details of this change and help future MBAs plan when to take the test and what they will need to prepare for.

Kaplan’s semi-annual Practice Test Event is right around the corner! The tests will be administered on 2/25/12 at 10 AM at the UW Law School.  This is a great free opportunity for students to see how they might score on the real exam, and also to get an idea of the types of questions that will be on the real test.

Students can register at http://www.kaptest.com/practice.  Further information and registration details will come prior to the event date.

Sponsored by: The Grant Training Center
 
This intensive three-day grant proposal workshop is geared for: 1) those who
wish to strengthen their grant writing skills and 2) beginners who wish to
acquire and master the techniques of preparing, writing and winning
proposals from various funding agencies. The center of attention will be on
how to effectively write proposals in times of keen competition and limited
resources. Much has happened in new regulations and in approaches to grant
writing, be it for the researcher in the sciences and social sciences,
education and non-profit professionals.
Participants Will Learn How to:
1. Navigate the world of grant procurement
2. Research and identify potential funding sources
3. Address the guidelines of federal and foundation applications
4. Focus foundation and corporate giving for the State of Washington
5. Understand the new federal guidelines for writing winning grants
6. Know the review process and how to address key points for reviewers
7. Write winning grants that stand out against scores of competing
submissions
8. Develop focused and realistic budgets
9. Demonstrate that one?s proposal merits excellence and innovation
10. Package professional grant submissions
 
Our ultimate goal is for each participant to walk away with a product
specific to their interests that includes the grant design, abstract and
budget.
Thus, the opportunity to influence the future of your work and ideas is
within your reach. Understanding this reality, institutions are willing to
minimally invest in the training of their staff to make this happen.
 
 
 
*Space is limited, and since this class fills-up quickly, it is on a
first-come, first-serve basis.*
Workshop Fee: $595.00 (including tuition, materials, certificate of

Common Spaces will take the form of a three-day series of activities, on April 21st through 23rd, at the University of Washington campus.  The activities that will make up Common Spaces are submitted by a variety of individuals with a variety of interests affiliated with a variety of
organizations. They range from We envision Common Spaces drawing people together to learn from each other,
to share experiences, to get introduced to different kinds of thinking, to become more aware of what is going on outside of their normal range of activity, and to interact with people attuned to acting against oppression.

Please join us and tell your friends. Note that this event is NOT JUST FOR STUDENTS, so invite off-campus friends as well.

Code for America - Seattle | Connecting Local Leaders To Solve Local
Problems
 
 
About The Fellowship
Code for America is a new public service fellowship that recruits passionate
technologists to spend a year to work with governments be more efficient.
 
About The Seattle Project
The City of Seattle is a leader in the movement towards open government. The
city staff actively pursues citizen engagement projects: recurring town hall
meetings, platforms for citizens to share ideas for improving the city, and
online dialogues through Facebook and Twitter. The city has opened up access
to many different streams of data and information ranging from building
permits to crime reports. These resources present a valuable opportunity for
civic leaders to become more effective and better connected. Code for
America?s Seattle project is about strengthening the city's network of civic
leaders and making collaboration between these leaders and the city staff
more effective.
 
We Need Your Help
The Code for America fellows hope to take advantage of the great innovative
work Seattle has already done, so they will begin by learning about existing
technology tools. For the entire month of February the fellows will be in
Seattle for the sole purpose of meeting and interviewing the civic leaders
and city staff from the department of transportation to Seattle?s Neighborhood
District Council.
 
Who?s Got Our Back
The Code for America Seattle project is funded by a number of organizations
including the Knight Foundation, Microsoft, The Case Foundation, O'Reilly
Media and the City of Seattle. Seattle was chosen as one of the first cities
to participate in Code for America, based on its proposed project.

RE: scholarship and networking opportunities presented by
the Washington Media Scholars Foundation.
 
The foundation creates scholarship, learning and career advancement opportunities for college students
interested in public policy media strategy, research and management. The organization coordinates three
programs of varying intensity to carry out this mission:
 
1. Media Scholars Program. Beginning with the Media Plan Case Competition, the Media Scholars Program
identifies talented undergraduates from across the country and brings the finalists to Washington, DC for a week of networking and out-of-the-classroom educational opportunities with organizations such as Google, Politico, CNN and the Wall Street Journal. At a Networking Reception held at the Newseum, the
foundation distributes $10,000 in scholarship awards.
 
2. The Media Mentors Program provides students with an experienced advocate who provides insight into
making the most of your undergraduate experience to benefit your entry into the job market. Opened to students in their sophomore year and above, this program has a streamlined 
rolling application process, easing the administrative burden for busy students. 
 
3. An additional Scholarship Program will launch in the summer of 2011. Details made available in the spring of 2011.
 
It would be great to see you take advantage of these opportunities. In the past, participating students have majored in advertising, marketing, public relations, political science and 
even astrophysics. Some have found work in Washington, DC immediately post-graduation, and others have found work closer to their home universities.

Storytelling with Sound
 
Friday, November 19th, 2010  1-5pm  CMU 304
 
Any successful filmmaker will tell you good audio is the key to a strong video.  Photojournalists are increasingly expected to gather their own audio to create dynamic slideshows. And radio journalism is an often overlooked
but thriving field, with opportunities for graduating students.
 
This workshop will teach you the basics of audio reporting: how to collect good sound in the field, interview for audio, write and structure a strong audio script (including many techniques that carry over directly to video and multimedia), and how to edit and mix audio tracks using professional software.
 
You'll also meet successful public radio reporters and find out about career paths in radio.

by clicking here.
 
Wednesday, April 14
3:00pm - 7:00pm
HUB Ballrooms
 
     So what can you do to prepare? Here are some tips:
 
     Before the Fair - It All Comes Down to Homework
 
  *  Get a list of exhibitors. Your first step is to find out which companies
     will be participating. You can do this by visiting our website here.
     Many career fairs have Web sites that list participating companies or
     list the companies on brochures and other advertising materials. Once
     you have the list, highlight several companies that are of interest to
     you.
  *  Do your research. Research the companies that will be attending the
     fair. Look at their Web sites, read their press releases, and search
     your local newspaper for stories. Look for recent acquisitions that
     indicate that the company is growing, new products that have been
     introduced, or any other business news that gives you an idea of where
     the company is headed and how you can play a role.
  *  Get your resume in the Spring Career Fair Resume Book.  Do you want your
     resume to be automatically sent to select employers as part of the
     Spring Career Fair Resume Book? Click here to learn how!
  *  Put your tools together. Once again, it's time to dust off your resume
     and make sure it is in tip top condition. Make sure it is current and
     that it sends a clear, concise picture of who you are and what you have
     to offer. Double check for spelling and grammatical errors and make sure
     your contact information is correct. If you need help, stop by The
     Career Center for a walk-in appointment (daily).
  *  Practice, practice, practice. Get together with a friend or family
     member and practice answering typical interview questions such as "Tell
     me about yourself," or "What kind of position are you looking for?"
     Additionally, develop a list of questions you want to ask each company.
     One of the best ways to look prepared and professional is showing up
     with thoughtful, intelligent questions.
 
     During the Fair - Put On Your Best Show
 
  *  Dress the part. When you go to the career fair, you will undoubtedly see
     people walking around in jeans and t-shirts. Don?t be one of those
     people. A career fair is your chance to make a good first impression
     with a potential new employer. Wear a conservative business suit, make
     sure you look well groomed, and carry your materials in a professional
     folder or portfolio.
  *  Don't forget your ammo. You spent all that time making sure your resume
     was ready to go, so don't blow your chances by forgetting to bring it.
     Bring many copies printed out on professional resume paper, as well as a
     few copies of your references list. Be prepared to hand these out many
     times throughout the day.
  *  Be confident and proactive. A career fair is no place to be shy and
     demure. The best way to make a lasting impression is by being
     aggressive. Approach the companies that interest you, make eye contact
     and introduce yourself with a firm handshake. Take the initiative and
     tell them about yourself and why you are interested in their company.
     Answer questions succinctly, with solid examples of your strengths and
     qualifications. Ask your prepared questions and listen intently to the
     answers. Tie in what you know about their company from your research to
     the type of job you are seeking.
  *  Ask for information. Whatever you do, don't leave a company booth
     without getting a business card and company brochure. This might be the
     only opportunity you have to meet with the hiring manager face to face
     and you will want his or her contact information later.
 
     After the Fair - Close the Deal
 
  *  Follow up. Just like a job interview, it is important to follow up after
     a career fair. Using the business cards you collected, write letters to
     key company representatives. Thank them for taking the time to speak
     with you, reiterate your strengths, and let them know that you will call
     them to follow up in a couple of days. Then, be true to your word and
     call. Just make sure you don't waste the opportunity you had at the
     career fair. Your due diligence afterwards can be as important as your
     preparation

 It will be offered on Thursday, May 13 and is entitled, "Will I Survive in the World of Work?"

Publishing a good student newspaper is tougher than ever these days (like
you didn't know that).
 
But smart editors and advisers are constantly asking themselves:
  -- What does it take to keep readers happy? 
  -- How do we upgrade our storytelling and design? 
  -- What new-media skills do our reporters and editors really need?
 
In other words: How do we futurize our newspaper? 
 
Now, maybe your paper is fine just as it is.  BUT -- If you need to rethink,
retool or reinvent what you do, you'll find lots of answers at Tim
Harrower's highly-acclaimed-yet-ridiculously-affordable News Design
Workshop. 
 
"Tim's seminar is entertaining, enlightening and fulfilling. You leave
feeling good about what you do, armed with new ways to do it better, wishing
you could infuse Tim -- or at least his ideas -- into your paper right
away." (Steve Dorsey, design director at the Detroit Free Press)

This is a great opportunity for you to learn about the value of their language.

WordLink Hosts World Language Career Panel
 
On February 19th at 3pm is the World Language Career Panel for students 
studying a foreign language! It will be held in RM 205 of Smith Hall.
 
The World Language Career panel will feature employees of Microsoft, Seattle 
Municipal Court, TASTE Catering, the UW and more. This will be a terrific 
opportunity for students to learn about possible career options, as they will 
hear panelists answer questions such as:
 
- Does your knowledge of a foreign language play a role in your career?
- What skills, abilities, and personal qualities are most important to succeed 
in your work?
- Is there any credentialing required?
- How did you get into this field?  Into this particular position?
-  If your current position doesn?t involve use of your foreign language 
ability, do you use your language in any other contexts in your life?
-  What advice do you have for current students majoring or minoring in a 
foreign language at UW, especially regarding actions they could take now that 
might enhance their employability after graduation.
 
We encourage students to bring their own questions to the panel discussion. 
Thanks for sharing this information!

Dependable Strengths Workshop Focuses on Strengths and Talents To Find a Job
and Career Satisfaction
 
February 26 & March 1
 
 
 
 
 
Are you struggling with finding a job?  Frustrated with securing that first
job, but don?t know what to do next? Not sure what you?re really good at?
You?re not alone, and help is on the way! In this 2-day workshop, you will
gain confidence in your skills, learn important new networking methods and
develop a strategy for finding a career that really ?fits?. Using the
?Dependable Strengths? articulation process of identifying strengths and
talents, participants report greater employability, self-esteem,
productivity and career and life satisfaction. 
 
 
 
Past participants of the Dependable Strengths Workshop report:
 
 
 
?      ?I explored my strengths and talents from a different point of view ?

If you're planning to take the GRE this fall, you might want to know about 
U-District Test Prep's $99 1-day GRE course, a new way to give your application 
the professional test prep edge without spending hundreds of dollars or hours.
 
As a local start-up, formed by experienced UW instructors, U-District Test Prep 
can offer a deal that no other test prep company can match. For only $99, the 
course covers everything on the test, including a complete math review. You 
also get a free book of study materials and practice tests and a free 
guaranteed follow-up tutoring session.
 
If you're thinking about just studying on your own and taking the test to see 
how you do, take our course instead. It costs $51 less than having to take the 
test again--and is also way more fun.
 
The next class is scheduled for October 25th. For more information, check out 
the website at www.udistricttestprep.com or email info@udistricttestprep.com 
with questions.

Do you need to write a personal statement for a scholarship, research or
graduate school application but aren't sure where to start? Do you need to
prepare a CV or academic resume, but aren't sure what it is or what should
be on it? Consider attending an upcoming workshop offered by the Office of
Merit Scholarships, Fellowships & Awards:
 
Personal Statement Workshops
The Personal Statement is an important part of all applications for
scholarships, internships, or graduate/professional programs.  This type of
writing requires you to outline your strengths confidently and concisely,
which can be challenging. These Personal Statement Workshops will provide
you with essential information to begin writing about your interests,
eligibility, and suitability.
 
Space is limited, so please register for one of these workshops at:
https://catalysttools.washington.edu/webq/survey/scholarq/71650 
  *  October 21, 2009 from 1:00pm to 2:30pm, Mary Gate 191 A
  *  December 2, 2009 from 3:00pm to 4:30pm, Mary Gate 191 A
CV Writing Workshops
Develop your undergraduate CV/Resume for use in scholarship, fellowship,
research opportunities and graduate school applications.  These workshops
will aid students in the development of a Curriculum Vitae ("CV" or
"vitae").  A CV is similar to a resume, but allows students to take
advantage of a free format, to reflect the strength of their achievements.
 
Students interested in the workshop should bring a working draft, such as an
existing resume, a list of activities, honors, awards, and prizes, received
no longer than 5 years ago, academic and research activities, community
service involvement, work history, and activities outside of the academic
environment.

On November 6,7,8, I will be coming to Seattle to conduct a 3 Day Film
Production Workshop.
 
It's a Workshop I have given in many parts of the world, and would now like
to bring to Seattle.
 
I wish to inquire whether University of Washington would be willing to post
the attached Press Release on your website/newsletter,
thereby exposing the Workshop to your student body.
 
In addition, I would ask if you would forward the Press Release and Workshop
Flyer to the appropriate teaching staff.
 
Logging onto  www.filmtvworkshops.com , you will find more detail regarding
the content of the Workshop, as well as
my 37 year film production background.  You may have enjoyed some of the

This is a notice for the Dependable Strengths workshop offered April 17 & 20
at the UW Career Center. The workshop is a great jump start or boost for
those who feel they need some assistance with their job search -- new grads
seeking their first career position, alumni who have been laid off or
looking to change directions, and other community members frustrated by
their job search.

Dependable Strengths Workshop Focuses on Strengths and Talents To Increase
Job Fit and Career Satisfaction          
 
April 17 & 20, 2009
 
 
 
 
 
Are you struggling with finding a job?  Frustrated with securing that first
job, or tired of your current profession, but don?t know what to do next?
Not sure what you?re really good at? You?re not alone, and help is on the
way! In this 2-day workshop, you will gain confidence in your skills, learn
important new networking methods and develop a strategy for finding a career
that really ?fits?. Using the ?Dependable Strengths? articulation process of
identifying strengths and talents, participants report greater
employability, self-esteem, productivity and career and life satisfaction. 
 
 
 
 
 
Past participants of the Dependable Strengths Workshop report:
 
 
 
?      ?I explored my strengths and talents from a different point of view ?
stepped out of myself and evaluated my strengths in a very honest way to
help me find my life work??
 
 
 
?      ?It completely shifted my focus from ?how can I fit into that job? to
?how I can highlight my strengths and abilities which will lead to getting
the right job for me?.?
 
 
 
?      ?It helped me define and clarify my strengths, increased my
self-esteem, and established a network.?
 
 
 
?      ?This workshop really helps you take a fresh look at what you can do
by learning to see and focus on your dependable strengths.?
 
 
 
Registration Information
 
 
 
The Dependable Strengths Workshop, sponsored by the UW Career Center and the
UW Alumni Association, consists of two workshop days of collaborative

more. This workshop is offered to the UW community at a significant savings.

FREE EVENT 

"Women taking the lead to save our planet," seminar at the Jackson Federal Building North 
Auditorium (fourth floor) at 12-1 PM on Tuesday, March 24.

Speakers include:

Kathy Fletcher – Executive Director for the People of Puget Sound 

Dr. Usha Varanasi – Scientist and adjunct professor at the University of Washington.  She dedicates much of her time researching with a purpose to make major policy decisions - and to pass regulations to protect the environment. 

Elsie Hulshizer - Represents the Marine Water Environment on the Washington State Board of Pilotage Commissioners and as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Center for Wooden Boats.

Rather than have each talk only about what they are doing to "take the lead to save the planet", they will each address the following questions which hopefully will intrigue and inspire the audience and provide a discussion of the "process" which has guided each in her professional journey: 

When did you decide to dedicate your professional career to environmental stewardship?

How did you prepare for your career?

What do you consider your greatest contributions to saving the planet?

What were your greatest career challenges?

Who has inspired you throughout your career?

Do you need to be passionate about your work to truly excel?

What have you learned along the way that you wish you had known when you started?

Each will be asked to speak for fifteen minutes, allowing about five minutes for Q&A after their remarks.


*Lunch will not be provided, but feel free to bring your own

Bring a working draft, such as an existing resume, and a list of activities including: Honors, Awards & Prizes received no longer than 5 years ago, Academic and Research Activities, Community Service Involvement, Work History, and Activities outside of the academic environment.

NATPE/ UW/Student Career Workshop/ KING-TV Seattle/ Sat Oct 4 2008 / 9AM-2 PM


If you're unfamiliar with NATPE-the National Association of TV Program
Executives-it's a Los Angles based non-profit founded in 1963 by program
directors seeking a forum, and has evolved with the medium. Seattle will
be the fifteenth in the Workshop series that began in 2000, and has
traveled to  New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Boston.
Atlanta, Washington DC, Phoenix, Miami, Denver, St. Louis, San Diego,
Austin, and New Orleans

 

While the settings and focus of the Workshops have been  on TV
broadcasting--and of special interest  to broadcast, production and
journalism students--the sessions have also been valuable for those
interested in other aspects of media and communication: two examples are
the increasing opportunities made possible by digitalization, and the
subtext of windows into the dynamics of contemporary business

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.
