Curriculum Vitae Writing Workshop
Develop your undergraduate CV for use in scholarship, fellowship, research opportunities, and graduate school applications! A Curriculum Vitae ("CV" or "vitae") is a comprehensive, biographical statement emphasizing your professional qualifications and activities. A CV is similar to a resume, but an advantage to the CV format is the significant freedom to choose the headings and categories for your information and the strength reflected in their arrangement.Bring a working draft, such as an existing resume, and a list of activities including: Honors, Awards & Prizes received no longer than 5 years ago, Academic and Research Activities, Community Service Involvement, Work History, and Activities outside of the Academic Environment. In this workshop you will have the opportunity to work with Office of Merit Scholarships, Fellowships & Awards staff to develop and strengthen a draft of your CV!

Personal Statement Writing Workshop
The Personal Statement is an important part of an application package. Applying for scholarships, internships, and graduate/professional programs often requires a personal statement or application letter. This type of writing requires you to outline your strengths confidently and concisely, which can be challenging. Personal Statement Workshops will provide students with essential information to develop an understanding of not only writing about their interests, eligibility and suitability for applications, but also to learn how their statements provide evidence of their achievements that aren’t reflected in other parts of an application. RSVP to attend at https://expo.uw.edu/expo/rsvp/event/236.- Monday, Oct. 19, 2015, 3:30-4:30pm, MGH 171

2016 Carlson Civic Fellowship Positions
Civic Engagement Fellow (Engaging the API Community)
with Asian Counseling & Referral Service (ACRS)
Data
shows that less than 40% of Asian Pacific Islanders in Seattle voted in
2014. There is an extreme need for the community to increase its
political representation
so that its experiences of structural and institutional racism
diminish. This Carlson Civic Fellow will work with ACRS to explore the
many barriers to voter turnout, and help empower the community to
develop a strong political voice.
The Fellow will: help conduct workshops to train ACRS staff on
voting-related considerations and processes; create and lead similar
leadership development opportunities for ACRS’ community members;
organize a visibility campaign; distribute educational
resources; and help track ongoing community engagement.
Community Mobilization Fellow (Ending Migrant Detention)
with Puentes
Puentes
strives to help undocumented migrants and their families cope and
flourish despite a broken immigration system.
One of the most urgent needs it focuses on is putting an end to migrant
detention. Puentes recognizes that a key strategy in effecting change
is to mobilize faith-based communities towards awareness and advocacy.
This Carlson Civic Fellow
will support Puentes’ grassroots effort to mobilize religious communities into taking action.
The Fellow will: build personal relationships and facilitate
partnerships with key stakeholders; collect testimonies, conduct
research, and produce related educational content; and co-develop
campaigns to promote the goal of immigration reform both nationally
and locally.
Advisory Council Fellow (Racial and Economic Justice)
with Solid Ground
Solid
Ground works to end poverty and undo racism and other oppression that
are root causes of poverty. Its programs support over 60k
Seattleites each year in meeting their urgent housing, food and life
skills needs, to escape poverty and thrive. Solid Ground is developing
an Advisory Council for its program participants’ voices to be heard,
valued and incorporated into the program decisions
that affect them. The Carlson Civic Fellow will collaborate with Solid
Ground’s Anti-Racism Initiative Manager and other staff on the
preparation, coordination and creation of this Council.
The Fellow will: conduct research on community-engagement by
non-profits to inform strategy; build relationships through outreach and
recruitment; and prepare for and support Council members leading up to a

UW EcoCar3 Modeling and Simulation Recruitment
The
UW EcoCAR3 System Modeling and Simulation (SMS) team is currently
recruiting new members. The EcoCAR3 competition is a 4 year project in
which 16 universities completely redesign a 2016 Chevrolet Camaro to
improve the energy consumption and efficiency. Heading into year 2 of
the competition, the SMS sub team will be focused on Hardware-in-Loop
testing to validate the controls architecture of the vehicle.
The
SMS team will be working on 3 major projects in year 2: SoftECU
development, HIL model development, and test case development. By the
end of the year the SMS team will have built a full vehicle model
capable of supporting Software-in-Loop and Hardware-in-Loop testing.
SoftECU's will have been emulated to replicate CAN communication and
primary operating modes for integrated testing of the vehicle's controls
network. Lastly, test cases will be defined and developed to
allow manual and automated testing of controls functionality.
The
UW EcoCAR3 SMS team is an exciting opportunity. Modeling and simulation
is critical in all areas of engineering and is a rapidly growing field
as it allows efficient and cost effective validation of systems. To
apply please visit uwecocar.com.
Applicants are expected to have prior experience with modeling,
controls simulation, or test development. Member must have the ability
to commit a minimum of 12 hours a week to the team.
