Subject: Career Shuttle to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Description: Join the University Career Center & The President's Promise on a Career Shuttle to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)! This trip is open to all students and majors to be “introduced” to NOAA and many of the areas one can work, intern, or volunteer within the organization. Participants will hear from current employees about NOAA Corps (uniformed science service), National Weather Service (NWS), Satellite and Information Service (NESDIS), National Ocean Service (NOS), learn more about NOAA Library Services and see NOAA’s Science on a Sphere. Space is limited - please RSVP today and reserve 11:15 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. for the site visit. Due to the limited space and the expected high demand for this trip, we will be enforcing our "no show" policy. We need to get names to NOAA the week before the trip, so contact Rachel Wobrak immediately (and preferably before February 20, 2015) at [log in to unmask] if you register and are unable to attend. You will also need to bring a government-issued photo ID (drivers license, passport, etc.) to this event.

Please plan to meet in the lobby of the University Career Center & The President's Promise (3100 Hornbake Library, South Wing) at 11:15 a.m. We will depart promptly by bus at 11:30 a.m. and return to campus by 4:30 p.m. Attire: Business Casual, no jeans.
