Dear Eagles,
With all this snow, be sure to stay safe and warm today; it is hard to believe Spring Break is just around the corner! Before you head off for some well-deserved rest, there are plenty of opportunities to highlight.
The last week of Black History Month features Tarana Burke speaking tomorrow at Robsham Theater, the Mindfulness Club's R&B Candlelit Yoga event, and the Black History Month Closing Ceremony on Friday from 12:00–2:00 p.m. in Maloney 455.
If you are looking to expand your horizons, the Women's Center Bystander Trainers application is open and the Office of International Students and Scholars is recruiting for their International Assistant role. Additionally, don't forget to check out the Eagle Internship Fellowship program if you are seeking an unpaid internship for this summer.
Finally for our first year and senior students, be sure to take a few moments to fill out the National Survey of Student Engagement and have a chance to win a gift certificate from the bookstore or Amazon. If you are a junior, this is the "last call" to apply for the Benigno and Corazon Aquino Scholarship.
Yours in Community,
