Get involved! New pilot program coming for Fall 2015: Fall Major/Career Exploration Weeks

To better support students in exploring options for majors and careers, Career & Internship Services is partnering with URGO to plan a new five-week program series for fall 2015 - and we hope you will be involved! (Details: http://www.augsburg.edu/strommen/calendar/fall-majorcareer-exploration-series/)

The program is designed to help students explore majors and careers by disciplines in alignment with our academic divisions, plus a week focused on pre-health and one designed to meet the needs of undecided students or those still exploring majors or careers.

During each of the five weeks Career & Internship Services and/or URGO will host a panel discussion featuring a mix of alumni, employers, faculty, and other experts linked to the majors and disciplines featured that week.

In addition, faculty, staff and students are invited to plan additional offerings during the weeks that most closely align to their major, department, or organization mission/focus (see list of dates below and online). Career & Internship Services will promote the full slate of offerings to students, provided information is received by our deadline.

The Fall 2015 weeks are scheduled as follows:

Week of Sept. 21: Professional Studies
Week of Sept. 28: Fine Arts & Humanities
Week of Oct. 5: Natural & Social Sciences
Week of Oct. 12: Pre-Health Week
Week of Oct. 19: Undecided/Exploratory Student Week

Auggie Treadmill & Skate Vo2 Participants needed

This URGO summer research is a two-part test. I am looking for participants between the ages of 20 and 55 who are competent ice skaters. The first being a treadmill test following the Bruce Protocol. This test takes about 15-20 minutes and is a maximal effort test. This test costs roughly $115 if you want to do it elsewhere. The second test is a skating test where 10 full ice figure-8 loops are completed, this test only takes about 5 minutes. Your participation would be greatly appreciated as I am hoping for 30-50 subjects both male and female. IF you are interested in this study please email me at cripps@augsburg.edu. I am on campus all day and have a flexible schedule so we can work together to make two times work.
