A service to the students of Rhode Island School of Design ~

Illustration by John Hagan '83

To restate our purpose: EVENTS has been established as a service to the student population in RISD. Receiv­ing funds from student fees as appropriated by the Student Board , and with a grant from the Student Affairs Office, it is pub­lished by an independent staff. Taking the form of a bi-weekly calendar and

special larger issues, it includes schedules of enter­tainment, lectures and club activities within the school and the local community. In addition to the calendar of daily events, informational articles will highlight specific happenings and the work being done in the acad­emic departments within the school.

Still, the way in which we present this information is changing. The staff too, is changing. Sincere thanks and gratitude are extended to everyone who has passed through this office- espe­cially to Liz Small, who has resigned her position as Graphic Editor. Without Liz,

we would never have gotten off the ground this year. We hope to continue with Linda Cornacchione as the new Graphic Editor. Linda brings with her a new title block and format.

In the true spirit of an art school, we are trying to in­clude even more student art­work. Don't be surprized if we accost you on the street and ask for a submission. We don't like to use force so send information, photos, illustrations and classified ads with your name and box number to EVENTS c/o SAO.

WHAT CAN BE EDITED? WE NE ED STUDENTS' OPINIONS!

The student Affairs Office is revising RISD's student handbook—the Companion. Due to increasing printing costs, the Companion will have to be edited. What in­formation is most useful to students? What information can be eliminated?

Students having ideas on how the content can be im­proved or condensed are urged to get your ideas to the SAO office or call Johnette Isham, ext. 230.

CAREER SERVICES

The purpose of the RISD Ca­reer Services Office is to help underclassmen, grad students and alumni determine career objectives and pursue job referrals. The office, located on the second level of Woods-Gerry House, is responsible for internships, career seminars, business workshops, recruiting sched­ules and over a thousand full-time job openings.

Undergraduates use the Office or part-time jobs., which may range from painting signs to sculpturing in ice, and for summer jobs, ranging from camp counseling to running a gallery. In the latter the demand may exceed the supply because of the number of college students looking for work during June, July and August, but to assist these applicants, there is a Sum­mer Employment Directory, the summer job notebook, summer study bulletins, and work-study aboard programs. Those who seek free-lance or summer work should come to the Office, fill out an application, review the job listings and pursue commen­surate openings.

For seniors, super seniors, and second year graduate students, the Office is the link between classes and the market place. Each person is invited to have an individual interview at which time im­mediate plans and long-term goals are discussed as well as the importance of port­folios, the purpose of let­ters of application, the

function of resumes, and the approach to job interviewing.

During an academic year about 600 registrants become active candidates for their first position or for a new position. They are urged to register so that their cre­dentials may be assembled and updated. Most candidates receive professional counsel and notification of posit­ion openings based on an analysis of their qualifi­cations. To apprise students of job openings, notices by way of "please come cards" are sent to their mail boxes and the Placement News, an office publication, is printed bi-monthly.

The office is a repository for biographical data and references(together called credentials) on about 2,500 persons, including the pre­sent graduating calss and former graduates. These files constitute valuable information and offer pros­pective employers (upon written request of the can­didate) the possibility for objective evaluation for specific positions. Through

interviews, correspondence, and representation at con­ferences, the director main­tains associations with prospective employers in in­dustry, business, goverment, school systems, special pro­jects and college and uni­versities throughout the Country. Carolyn Hawes Director of Career Services.
