On March 2, Kaplan Test Prep will be offering a campus-wide opportunity for UA students to take a free practice GMAT, GRE, LSAT, MCAT, DAT, OAT, or PCAT administered under simulated testing conditions at 3:00 p.m. in Bidgood Hall. Students will experience the exam under proctored conditions and receive a detailed score analysis. Use this analysis to see where your current strengths and weaknesses lie. To take advantage of this free event and start preparing for grad school, register by calling 1-800-KAPTEST or online at www.KAPTEST.com/practice.
The Honors College Student Advisory Board has been developed to allow student involvement in the continued growth of the Honors College. The Honors College Student Advisory Board will address needs such as strategic planning and the overall experience of Honors College students. Tenure on the Honors College Student Advisory Board will be March 1, 2008 – March 1, 2009. Commitments will include active participation in bi-weekly meetings throughout the academic year and ownership in the implementation of the council's selected goals. Please complete the attached application and submit it to 273 Nott Hall by 12:00 pm on Monday, *February 25, 2008*. You must be an active member of the University Honors Program, International Honors Program and/or Computer-Based Honors Program to be eligible. For additional information, contact Claire O'Rear at cdorear@bama.ua.edu.
If you are a freshman or senior who received an email requesting that you participate in the national survey called the NSSE Survey, we urge you take part. Go back to the email and click on the link, or respond to the reminder email that will soon be coming your way. UA's Office of Assessment is hopeful that UA students will have a good representative showing on this important evaluation.
Several positions are open to work with Impact Alabama in the coming year (July 08-July 09). Impact is Alabama's first nonprofit organization dedicated to developing and implementing substantive service-learning projects in coordination with universities and colleges throughout the state. We are currently seeking highly motivated college graduates to work with our nationally unique FocusFirst and SaveFirst initiatives. It will be an incredibly meaningful year for recent graduates, and we could not provide the high-quality services that we do without a talented staff to coordinate our efforts.
