ABRCMS - Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students <http://gallery.mailchimp.com/d02ce653ff78467d92a1ca720/images/green_water_bottle.1.jpg>
Would you like to see a water bottle refill station in the student union?!
Students for Sustainability (SFS) is aiming to get water bottle refilling stations installed in the SUMC in order to:
· Reduce plastic bottle waste produced on campus
· Increase the availability and convenience of filtered water for students who carry reusable water bottles.
The organization is collecting data from students via an online survey as a gauge of whether the general student population is in favor of Union water bottle refilling stations or not.
Please take the survey to voice your opinion:

UA Spring Career Days 2014
The biggest career fair held all Spring Semester
Tuesday & Wednesday, March 11 & 12, 11am to 4pm
in the Student Union Memorial Center 3rd Floor Ballroom
#UALastChanceFair
This Spring fair is an ideal opportunity for students to connect with employers…over 150 tables over the course of the two days will be filled with organizations looking for potential employees. Students can check online at <http://www.career.arizona.edu/> www.career.arizona.edu to determine what companies are coming and when. There will be some overlap, but each day different companies attend and different opportunities are available.
Students seeking full-time employment after graduation, career-related experience prior to graduation or just looking for potential careers will find opportunities and useful information at this year’s UA Spring Career Days.
Just a small sampling of companies attending this year’s event include: Abercrombie & Fitch, Apple, eBay, Sogeti, Thorlabs, Bard College, Charles Schwab, Hot Topic, Johnson and Johnson, Johns Hopkins Center for American Indian Health and Yelp.
One more time (with feeling). Don’t let your students miss this opportunity! We’ll have our eye out for them. If they are REALLY industrious, they can start tweeting prep pictures now to #UALastChanceFair. You know, the new suit hanging in the closet (we’re referring to a business suit, not their spring break swimming suit) and the professional portfolio spread across the desk…All good photo fodder.
