2013 NASA / Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) REU application

I am pleased to announce the launch of the 2013 NASA / Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) application. It is online and available at http://www.APLapp.com.
Since 2004, the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) has offered summer projects to students interested in working on NASA missions or space-related research opportunities at APL. Students participating in the NASA/APL Internship Program will work at APL, and will make critical contributions to current and future missions or grants during their assignments in the Space Department. The Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) is a not-for-profit center for engineering, research and development. APL is a division of one of the world's premier research universities, Johns Hopkins. The 399-acre campus, 20 miles north of Washington, DC, is home to 4,100 men and women who work on more than 400 programs that protect our homeland and advance the nation's vision in research and space science. http://www.jhuapl.edu/ourwork/default.asp or http://civspace.jhuapl.edu/index.php.

EE CarEEr Fair & HKN Poker Night

CarEEr Fair
Wednesday, 1/23/13, 3-5PM
The HUB 145
Calling all EE undergraduates and graduate students! Join us for our first annual Electrical Engineering Career Fair, taking place on Wednesday, January 23^rd 2013, from 3-5PM. Due to the intentionally small size of our event, students will have an opportunity to network with a select group of companies and learn about upcoming job and internship opportunities.
HKN Poker Night
Wednesday, 1/23/13, 6-11PM
UW Club

Following the Career Fair, HKN is hosting their annual Poker Night which will take place directly after the Career Fair and is an opportunity to socialize with other students, faculty and employersin a lively, non-traditional atmosphere. This informal setting serves as a place where students can feel comfortable asking potential employers more in-depth questions about the company’s interests and operations, and vice versa. In past years, Poker Night has resulted in many students receiving either a job offer following the completion of their degree, or obtaining an internship in a field of their interest. Throughout the night, door prizes will be raffled to students, which are generously donated by the companies in attendance.

Supporting UW Student Veterans

The transition from active deployment to civilian life is one that many soldiers look forward to, but one that often proves to be more challenging than expected. Soldiers may feel that they are returning to an unfamiliar environment or that exposure to the sights and sounds of war have left them a changed person. Even soldiers who have not been exposed to such traumatic events have typically experienced the cumulative stresses of living in harsh environments, separation from loved ones and deferring other life ambitions.  As more and more student veterans join the UW, how can we best support them in and out of the classroom?  Join us as we work towards answering this question and other related questions.

On behalf of the Career Center, Husky United Military Veterans (HUMV), and the Veteran’s Center, please mark your calendars and join us for a Student Veteran Panel. At this event, you will hear from student veterans, Tim Wold, Director of the UW Veteran’s Center, and guest speaker, Robert Stacey, Interim Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, who will provide his thoughts on how we might best support our student veterans.

This event is a golden opportunity to hear directly from student veterans, receive information on valuable campus resources, and establish relationships within the student veteran community at UW.

Below are the details:
