The College of Social & Behavioral Sciences (SBS) is now accepting applications for its SBS Ambassador Program. The program provides undergraduate students with the chance to de-velop their leadership skills and to establish social and professional connections that last be-yond their time at the UA. Through their service to the College, SBS Ambassadors interact with faculty and staff members, the dean, the SBS Advisory Board, SBS alumni, donors, com-munity partners, and with other SBS students. These engagements provide the student with opportunities to hone public speaking and team-building skills and learn how to be an affec-tive mentor.
SBS Ambassadors play key roles in recruitment events, information sessions, student social gatherings, community service projects, SBS VIP events, and our SBS speaker series. Ambas-sadors are expected to commit approximately 25 hours per semester for a minimum of two semesters. Students are required to attend trainings and orientation meetings with college staff, meet with their mentor, and participate in 5 college events and 2 recruitment events each semester. Students who complete their first academic year in the program with a suc-cessful evaluation from the program coordinator will have the option to continue as an am-bassador their senior year. ELIGIBILITY: SBS Ambassadors are selected through a competitive process based on their high level of ac-ademic achievement, their outstanding leadership qualities, and their active engagement on and off campus. To be considered, students must:
Be enrolled in a primary major in SBS Have completed at least 6 units of courses offered by departments in SBS Be in junior (60-89 units) or senior (90+ units) standing Demonstrate strong speaking skills Have a minimum GPA of 2.5 overall and in the major Commit to serve for a minimum of one year

INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY at WINGSPAN
Southern Arizona’s LGBTQ Community Center
Are you interested in a career in the social services, secondary or higher education, public administration, or research? Almost all of these fields – including many other fields – rely, at some point, on grant funding. Having experience in grant research, writing, and administra-tion is a highly valuable and sought after set of knowledge and skills.
This internship opportunity is really one of a kind. What you will be offered:
A 1-day workshop at Wingspan on grant research, writing, and administration.
A detailed guide on grant research, writing, and administration along with research tem-plates and other organizational tools.
A very extensive list of leads on LGBTQ funding opportunities.
Training at Pima County Library about how to find non-internet based funding opportunities.
The opportunity to find appropriate funding for Wingspan, and in some cases, assist in writing an actual grant proposal (grant writing will be awarded to those who qualify and who can provide a writing sample of the appropriate quality).
Ongoing advice, support, and meetings with the Programs Manager at Wingspan.
Periodic group based support and progress meetings to share strategies and lessons learned.
Professional references and letters of recommendation for a job well done.
Certificate of Completion.
Requirements:
You must be a current undergraduate or graduate student at the University of Arizona.
You must have a sincere – and preferably a demonstrated interest in being an ally to the les-bian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, questioning, and queer community.
Ideally, you will have an interest in a professional career that will utilize knowledge in grant research, writing, and administration.
A minimum of 6 hours per week dedicated to the work, no max. Preference given to those who can complete at least 10 hours per week. Minimum of 4 consecutive months of partici-pation.
You must be dependable, complete the tasks/contract that you agree to, and provide high quality work.
A few select participants will be awarded the ability to write grant proposals and help
Wingspan actually receive funding. The majority of participants will be doing grant re-search and learning about the overall process. If you are not selected to write a proposal the first time around, you can participate in future iterations of the program and earn that opportunity.
For Consideration:
Please email Tara Ernst, Programs Manager, with the following information (please limit responses to 2-3 sentences on each item). [email protected]

The initial workshop at Wingspan will take place on Saturday October 19th and will last most of the day. Food/beverages will be provided.

This workshop will provide you enough information to get started on your internship, and then the workshop at Pima County Library will occur within a month or so of that ini-tial workshop. Time for the library workshop is TBD.
The current internship program will run October 19th – February 19th. If you read this an-nouncement and find yourself too busy this semester to take part, there will be another identical opportunity presenting itself in Spring 2014, and then again during the summer months. If you would like to be considered for those later iterations of the program, please apply and indicate your availability. We will then contact you in the spring/summer.

On Campus Interviewing: Resume Submission Deadlines & Information Sessions
It is a brand new fall semester and to date we have 96 employers registered for On- Campus Recruiting. Many companies
will be attending the UA Fall Career Days and many more will be participating with the recruiting season which starts Sep-
tember 30th to November 15th.
Attached is a list of employers with resume submission deadlines and # of resumes submitted for their schedule. Remem-
ber, please pay close attention to those schedules that are running light this semester (meaning, students are not submitting
their resumes to be considered for an interview). Some employers may cancel their visit due to low resume submission sign
up. On the report you will also find the job ID#, job description, full time/internship and the majors/conentrations of what is
being targeted.
Also attached is a list of upcoming information sessions. Attendance has been low in the past so please make sure you help
spread the word and the importance of attending an information session. The employers are eager to meet and speak to
the students so let's help get the word out!
Students must learn about what it means to "opt in" and about the $5.00 fee for the Wildcat Joblink campus interviewing
system to view and/or submit a resume for these positions. We do NOT accept hard copy resumes.
