What would you think of taking a class that included not just fellow UP students, but members of our local neighborhood? UP's Engaged Humanities program is developing a new Engaged Humanities Minor that would include this and other interesting opportunities for engagement outside the classroom, and we want your input in developing the curriculum!
We are seeking students of all years and majors to join us for an evening focus group on Wednesday, 10/22 from 7:00-8:30pm. Free taco bar dinner will be provided! Interested? Space is limited. Fill out this form asap to hold your spot!
Is Federal Work Study part of your financial aid package? If it is, did you know you can get a job off-campus right here in our local community under the Community Service Work Study (CSWS) program (click for current job openings)? With a CSWS position, you will gain valuable skills to enhance your resume, and you will make important connections with Portland employers who can show you the ‘networking ropes’ that can potentially further your career opportunities, now and in the future.
Questions? Feel free to contact Clare Kennedy at csws@up.edu. *** Not sure if you have Federal Work Study? Email the Financial Aid Office or phone them at 503.943.7311.

This is a great place to get feedback on resumes and cover letters, get started on an internship or job search, learn how to use Handshake and LinkedIn, and answer any other career-related questions you may have. Hours are as follows:
· Monday - Wednesday | 2 p.m. - 4 p.m.
· Thursday & Friday | 10 a.m. - 12 p.m.
Note: The CEC does not have Drop-In Hours during Fall Break, Winter Break, Spring Break, or during the summer. Please schedule an appointment if you'd like to meet then. Alumni cannot attend Drop-In Hours but can make appointments with our office.
Get involved with efforts to prevent gendered and sexual harassment and violence on campus. Erin Currie, the Coordinator of Interpersonal Violence Prevention Programming and Survivor Support, is looking for students who want to discuss trends they are seeing on campus and in social media related to healthy relationships, healthy sexuality, interpersonal harassment/violence, and bystander intervention. Help us in our ongoing work to make our programming speak to those trends, engage students, and build community in the process. If you are interested, let us know: Interpersonal Violence Prevention Student Advisory Committee Interest Form
