SSARC leadership certificate & UCI instant messaging?!
Hey PASSers,
Steven Lee and Steph Ramos were discussing about the SSARC Leadership Development Series and it sparked some interest in me. Here's the e-mail I received:
------------------------
You'll earn a certificate at the end of attending 13 Seminars. If you plan on managing a business, going to grad school, or just increasing your leadership skills I suggest you attend. :]
Here's a random tidbit. EEE displayed something new-- a UCI instant messaging system. You can register your UCI id for the instant messaging network. Oh UCI... what other wonders will you bring upon us.
GOODLUCK WITH FINALS, EVERYONE! :]

Help Wanted!
Seniors, listen up! Despite the recession, there are still more than 2 MILLION job openings across numerous industries according to a recent government estimate. HOWEVER (you thought it would be THAT easy?), there are an average of 5 people competing for each of those jobs, up more than double the ratio for job openings that existed around December 2007. In a nutshell, this means there are DEFINITELY jobs out there...the problem is that the level of competitiveness for these jobs has increased greatly.
So what job industries have bright prospects in this otherwise dismal economy? Read this recent Associated Press article to find out.
Also, because the available talent pool for employers has increased in quality, it would be a good idea to talk to your counselors or visit the UCI Career Center to brush up your resume, cover letters, interview skills and anything else that will help you stand out from the pack.
Good luck!

GRAD SCHOOL.
I attended a Peer Leadership Conference at UCR this past weekend and they shared with us their many Career Center resources. Among them is the Grad Portal with ALL the information you could possibly need on preparing for, finding, & applying to grad school. The plus side of it is that you don't need to be a UCR student to use it! It's definitely worth taking a look at, especially for you juniors & seniors who are beginning to consider grad school. Follow this link & get educated :)

Importance of HSO
First of all, I would like to acknowledge last week's HSO One-Day Conference! Congrats to all the members who cooperated and a wonderful thank you to our one and only Anthony Chanrasmi for putting all of this success together! The students had a lot of fun and enjoyed spending their day in the shoes of a college student! :)
However, as most of us heard, Magnolia High School had some violence on campus which led to a lockdown. Many of our students that were with us on Friday were thankful to have been on UCI's campus rather than their very own. Some students in my group were mentioning to me other violent acts that they had to experience during their past years in Magnolia High School. One student even said that their area is really dangerous and that you can't go ten minutes without hearing a police or fire siren passing by.
Hearing this really saddened me. I always knew that HSO was important, but it didn't hit me until i heard those words how important the HSO program really IS. Through guiding students in the right path, we help them stray away from such violent activities. HSO is an important program that shows these students that there is more to life than what they experience now. We also show them that they are capable of anything and everything they want to be in the future. They say there is a reason for everything that happens. I feel that there's a reason why our Magnolia students were on our campus last Friday rather than us being on theirs.
With that said, I would like to encourage more people to continue joining our PASSAGE HIGH SCHOOL OUTREACH program. One day a week out of your life, can make a huge difference in these High School students' lives.
Also, for all of you wondering what happened on their campus on Friday, here is an update I found online.
