Phoenix House has just been awarded a grant to provide residential substance abuse treatment and vocational assistance to female veterans who are homeless. They are recruiting an Outreach/Case Manager to be the primary staff person in this program. Their ideal candidate would be a female veteran herself, but we will consider people who are not vets if they have experience working with female veterans. They are looking for someone who is a Masters level professional and has experience providing social services. Most importantly, they are looking for someone who is compassionate and committed to helping female veterans turn their lives around. This position will be based in our Women's Treatment Program in Queens, NY.
Please email resumes and cover letters to Tshmulovich@phoenixhouse.org. Resumes without cover letters will not be considered.

Greetings Friends,
I wanted to let you know about a great opportunity here at Wake Forest where you can get a FREE education and get PAID while you're doing it. Our Dean of the Schools of Business is the former CEO of PepsiCo and very committed to diversity. He's gone around to his CEO friends, who have agreed to donate a bunch of money to pay tuition and fees, provide a stipend, and a job, to diverse students. The details are below. The problem is, response to the program has been dismal! As a faculty member, I would be embarrassed for him to have to tell his CEO friends, "thanks so much for your donation, but unfortunately I have to give it back because we couldn't find any students who wanted it."
So, I need your help. Please contact me if you, or ANYONE you know (TO or not, Kappa or not) is interested in the program. I know TO has a long reach, and I want to take advantage of it and help out as many young scholars as I can.
Don't worry about whether or not you (or they) have taken the GMAT, etc. All you need to do at this point is JUST APPLY. In business, you have to act when the opportunity is presented, and that is now.

The Master of Art in Management program is designed specifically for liberal arts majors only. The MA degree program is a 10 month intense study of the basic functional areas of business. After graduation and working for approximately two years, all MA graduates are eligible to apply to Wake Forest as part of the MA/MBA joint degree program and get the MBA in one year. The new Dean, Steve Reinemund, has created a new scholarship for diverse students pursuing the MA degree called the Corporate Fellowship.
The Corporate Fellowship provides full tuition and a $21,000 stipend to cover living expenses. Additionally, each Corporate Fellow will participate in a practicum. The practicum has two components, educational and professional development. Each student will be assigned a mentor that is a high level executive with their sponsor corporation. The mentor will oversee an educational project covering 4 of the functional areas of business using their own corporation as the subject. The student will visit the corporation 3 - 4 times during the program to present his/her results of their research project.
Additionally, the "professional development" component of the fellowship provides career coaching and leadership development for the students. The goal for the corporation is to be able to groom and hopefully, hire a top candidate from a diverse background for their organization. Of course, there is no obligation that the students accept any offer of employment. Still, the student benefits, even if they are not ultimately hired by their sponsor corporation in that they have the MA degree and the type of experience that will make them more marketable.

Harvard University Announcement
Harvard University announced over the weekend that from now on undergraduate students from low-income families will pay no tuition. In making the announcement, Harvard's president Lawrence H.

An Organization Focused On Building Resources To Make Current & Future Goals Attainable
www.unipronetwork.com
| | | TALLAHASSEE, Fla. â The Florida A&M University (FAMU) Computer Information Sciences (CIS) Program, housed in the College of Arts and Sciences, is the recipient of a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant valued at $552,000 dedicated to recruiting minority women to computer science and information technology disciplines.
âThe numbers are staggering,â said Jason T. Black, Ph. D., assistant professor in CIS. âThe latest data shows that out of all U.S. entering freshmen declaring a major in computer science, African-American women made up only 3.3 percent. The fact is that women are not choosing technology, and this is a dangerous predicament. When you couple that with the fact that it is estimated that 75 percent of all jobs by the year 2020 will require a technology background, it becomes a crisis call.â
The program, entitled African-American Women in Computer Science, (AAWCS), is a four-year program that provides scholarships and other assistance to women who express a financial need and an interest in computer science or information technology.
AAWCS, created by Black, also the principal investigator for the program, and Edward L. Jones, Ph. D., chair of the CIS program, will directly address the dismal number of minority women, particularly African-American women that pursue degrees in computer science or information technology.
Women who apply to AAWCS will be accepted based on financial need, and will be awarded a scholarship of between $3,000 and $5,000 per semester. In addition to the funding, the women will participate in CIS departmental clubs and organizations, such as the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Club, the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), and the CIS Mentoring Organization (CISMO). AAWCS scholars will also be involved in other STEM programs, such as the Florida/Georgia Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (FGLSAMP) scholarship program, and the Students and Technology in Academia, Research and Service (STARS) Alliance, both NSF-funded programs.
An added benefit to the students is the conference participation, where selected AAWCS scholars will be chosen to attend two national conferences, paid for by the grant, each year, such as the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing and the National Conference of Women in Information Technology (NCWIT).
The AAWCS program begins operation on July 1 and will run until June 30, 2012. Applications for the program can be requested by contacting Black at jblack@cis.famu.edu or (850) 412-7354. |

If you have or know kids between the ages of 18-31 with a high school
diploma. The Federal Aviation Association is taking applications for air
traffic controller school. We all have kids and know kids in the right
age group (under 31) and with some effort they could reach a salary of
over $100,000 with benefits in about 3 years. You need only a high
school diploma to apply and credit is given for college on the exam.
They need to go to faa.gov
http://www.faa.gov/jobs/job_opportunities/airtraffic_controllers/ for
details and to fill out the application immediately - even if they don't
know if they'd want to attend immediately - it's the federal government
and it may take them months to call. The key is to apply NOW.
There will be a lot of retirements coming up rather quickly and they
need to line up training to accommodate these openings. It's my
understanding that the FAA rarely has an open application such as this
and that the jobs are coveted. The person who shared this has a 28 year
old daughter who is well into 6 figures and has plenty of time for
travel/recreation and has started another career on the side. This is a
great opportunity and it should be noted that choosing a site like
Anchorage or Indianapolis to train is a likely acceptance into the
training program - after-which you can transfer anywhere in the country
that has a tower. I hope you pass this information on to family,
friends,etc.???

Teams of 2-3 teachers from the same school are invited to GSFC for 5 days from July 30 â August 3, 2007. Teacher teams will work with a different GSFC scientist or engineer each morning to learn about his/her career and area(s) of expertise as they relate to STEM-G curricula and the themes of the STS-118 missionâthe first flight of an Educator Astronaut. During the afternoon, each team will develop a classroom activity or project that incorporates the knowledge gained from the scientist or engineer in order to provide real life examples of applications to STEM-G middle school curricula. Throughout the 2007-08 school year, team members will implement all five of the activities or projects developed in one or more of their classes as appropriate and provide an evaluation of the effectiveness of the activity/project in teaching the Standards-based content in their teaching field.
