The guest speaker for this quarter’s ‘Wildlife Seminar’ Sharon Melin from the NOAA National Marine Mammal Laboratory will be giving a talk on Monday, 5/9 from 3:30 – 4:30 in Kane Hall 130 about Climate Change and California Sea Lions. This lecture is open to the public, so you can attend even if you haven’t registered for the course (ESRM 455). 

Drew is an amazing marine biologist who has worked on a wide range of impacts on marine invertebrate species and communities, most recently sea star wasting disease.  With the spectre of global warming threatening marine communities worldwide, Drew has become especially interested in the role warming plays in facilitating epidemics.  Her work is a tremendous combination of CSI disease ecology all the way through to curation of a stunning collection of art glass profiled in this award-winning film. 

Ah spring! Nearly at the end of the school year: cherry blossoms, singing birds, and for many of you: thoughts about jobs and careers. You might be graduating and looking for your first job out of school, or you may be focused on exploring career options or securing good internships.

Whether your job search is imminent or you just started college this year, you should get in touch with the UW Career Center. More than a dozen different kinds of workshops are offered multiple times through winter quarter, and they are all held conveniently in Mary Gates Hall. Workshops range from early career exploration and networking basics to learning details about resumes, cover letters and job interviews. 

Hey Huskies!
Are you nervous about interviews? Not sure how to approach the interview process? No worries, we are here to help! If you’ve already attended the Career Center’s Interviewing Getting Started workshop and Interviewing Lab, the next best way for undergraduate students of all majors to prepare is through practicing with an employer! Sign up for the chance to put your interviewing skills into action by practicing with and receiving feedback from a Husky-friendly employer. 

Wildlands Studies field projects provide students with the opportunity to join backcountry study teams as working field associates, studying environmental impact assessment, environmental policy, geologic, climatic and topographic factors that support various habitats, and the relationships between environments and culture. Most participants are undergraduates who join us on site from all over North America and Canada. Each program grants 4-12 units of upper division semester credit that easily transfers to University of Washington.
