Career Events @ Pitzer College
To sign-up for Pitzer workshops call x18519, stop by Mead Hall, or visit www.pitzer.edu/careerservices/event Upcoming Events! California Wilderness Coalition *Information Session:* (Open to all Students) Wednesday, November 28, 2007 12:00 p.m. Mead Living Room, Pitzer College The California Wilderness Coalition is the only organization dedicated to protecting California's wild places and native biodiversity on a statewide level. Through advocacy and public education, CWC builds support for threatened wild places, from oak woodlands to ancient forests and deserts. Right now, they are focusing their efforts in Southern California on protecting desert wilderness. Significant threats to cultural, recreational, and biological resources on both private and public lands in the California desert remain and new ones arise every day. Despite the breadth of the legislative protections afforded by the 1994 California Desert Protection Act, these protections only apply to 40% of the region's public lands, and have not yet been completely realized. They are looking for students who want to make a difference on environmental issues and gain experience in the political arena. Volunteer projects and internships include archaeological and biological monitoring, invasive plant removal, organizing educational hikes, camping trips, letter-writing drives, and outreach events. Students can join us for a single event or outing, or apply to be an intern. Interns generally commit anywhere from 2 to 10 hours per week and work closely with CWC staff, as well as other experts and government agency staff. For more information attend their information session or contact Career Services, Pitzer College. Teach for America *Information Session:* (Open to all Students) Wednesday, December 5, 2007 7:00 p.m. Mead Living Room, Pitzer College Teach For America is the national corps of outstanding and diverse recent college graduates of all academic majors who commit two years to teach in under-resourced urban and rural public schools. After their two years, our alumni bring their unique perspective and experience to many fields. Over 1,000 corps members reach more than 100,000 students in rural and urban areas around the country. After an intensive selection process and summer training program, corps members are placed in one of thirteen sites, where they serve as regular full-time teachers while remaining part of national and regional support networks.
