Q294 Basic Career Development

Good afternoon. For each of our Q294 sections (Basic Career Development) we formulate panels of upperclassmen to share their experience and wisdom on how to make the most out of their academic, extracurricular and professional involvements while attending IU. It is consistently one of the most powerful classes for our freshman and sophomore level students.

SUBJECT: Get Your 30 Minutes of Fame!

The Career Development Center is looking for experienced juniors and seniors to share their advice with freshmen and sophomores in our Q294 (Basic Career Development) course. If you've had experience with student organizations, volunteer work, internships, and/or study abroad programs, this is a great chance to inspire other students! The dates and times of the Q294 student panel sessions are:

FOOD DRIVE at Hoosier Hills Food Bank

Are you looking for an ALTERNATIVE activity during Little 500 weekend? Would you like to avoid the chaos and help out your community? Come make history at our 22nd annual Community Food Drive!

We're looking for volunteers to help us on Saturday, April 12 for our Live from Bloomington Community Food Drive.

The week prior to that Saturday, brown paper bags will be inserted into all the Herald Times asking everyone to fill the bags with donated food and leave by the curbside on Saturday morning. Food bank staff, along with many many volunteers, will go to all the neighborhoods in
Bloomington to pick up the bags of food. We hope to begin by 10am. Ideally, each group (2-5 people) in one car will have a designated neighborhood to "scour". In the past it has taken one to two hours, depending on the neighborhood. Once finished, the food will be returned to the food bank to be weighed in and sorted. You are welcome to do more than one neighborhood if you have the time.

We realize we are up against heavy competition with Little 500. Come help us prove that even on such a busy weekend there are committed individuals willing to work towards ending hunger!

Thank you for taking the time to read this. We always appreciate your
help!
