Comp 080 Enabling Technology

Diane Brauner has a great idea for making beginning literacy kits for kids who are blind. I know several of you are looking for service opportunities, so contact me for her email address to learn about the project.

Majors Expo 2010 is an informational fair designed to help students consider their major at Carolina. For the seventh year, all undergraduates will have the opportunity to meet and interact with department representatives – professors, staff and students – to explore majors, minors, programs and services that Carolina offers.

The expo is sponsored by the GAA’s Student Membership Program. All UNC students are welcome and encouraged to attend – not just GAA student members. That’s why we thought of you: Please remind your students about this event, particularly those with whom you might have talked about their academic plans and questions about their future.

The Majors Expo 2010 will be:

Date: Wednesday, Oct. 6
Time: 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Location: Great Hall, Student Union.

More information is available at http://alumni.unc.edu/mexpo , including a list of participating departments and offices. Light refreshments will be served.

APPLES internships are unique, intense experiences in service for either the spring semester or summer break. Students intern at a variety of nonprofit and governmental agencies, receive funding ($1,250 for spring and $2,500 for summer) and three hours of academic course credit. APPLES interns are considered staff in their organizations and have a great deal of responsibility as well as professional growth opportunities. Interns also receive individualized academic instruction from a faculty member and “hands on” experience that will help them grow as community leaders.

The internship application is available online at http://www.unc.edu/apples/students/internships/index.html , and the deadline is October 14th. Interest meetings will be held on September 29th and October 7th at 6 pm in Dey 307.
