RE: New Release of Parking Online Wait Lists for 2008-09
Graduate students and seniors may now go online and register themselves using the waitlist function for any student lot. Our waitlist option is being released today, which can also be accessed through the MySlice portal.
If the permit you wished to purchase was not available you may now add yourself to the waitlist using the add/edit waitlist link located above the purchase permit link on the parking online homepage. If space becomes available we will contact you via email. If you need assistance or have any questions regarding this new option, please contact the Parking Office at (315) 443-4652.

DOCTORAL CAREER ADVISORY BOARD
Roseanne Ecker is forming a group of doctoral students to advise her on career programming for doctoral students. This group, the Doctoral Career Advisory Board, will likely meet three times per semester, with its first meeting this month, (the next two meetings will take place in the fall). In addition to planning, volunteers from the board might assist with a program if they are able to. She is forming this board in order to ensure that programming for next year closely reflects doctoral student career needs.
If you are interested in serving on the Doctoral Career Advisory Board, please email her at recker@syr.edu including your year of study, your field, and a few sentences about why you would like to serve on the Board. She will need to balance the composition of the board with doctoral students from different fields and years, but will get back to any who contact her.
Whether you are interested in the board or not, if you have suggestions for next year’s programming, please email Roseanne Ecker at recker@syr.edu.
SUMMER CONSULTATIONS AVAILABLE
Summer is a great time to get your materials ready for your job search. The Center for Career Services is open during the summer. Just call 443.3616 to set up a one-hour appointment, or come to our 15-minute, first come, first served, drop-in hours, M-Th from 1-3 p.m. to introduce yourself and get a one-on-one introduction to our services.
FEEDBACK
The Grad School is looking into developing a position specifically for graduate mentors within departments across campus based on the idea that people are already spending a lot of time doing this and should be compensated/recognized accordingly. We are in the very early stages of developing this idea, but if you have any insights or comments on this such as whether this position is already built into the FPP within your departments, whether your department would have extreme/moderate/no need for such a position, and what YOU envision such a position doing within your department, please Sam Rebovich at sarebovi@maxwell.syr.edu. We are looking for a wide range of feedback from different departments.

Consider attending to explore your own publicly engaged scholarship.

We hope you can join us. Please RSVP to Lee Pomeroy (at etpomero@syr.edu) by April 22, indicating if you can join us for part or all of the morning.
