Applications for Honors Program Class of 2015-16 Now Open

April 8, 2015 by Leave a Comment

The Shoreline Honors Program is now accepting applications for the 2015-16 class. Please recommend this to any students you may know who would benefit from our Honors Program. This program allows students to work closely with faculty on projects that they design with their mentors. Students earn 10 credits (5 of which can be used to satisfy their Humanities or Social Sciences distribution requirements).

Check out our latest brochure here and share it with any students you think might benefit from this program. Interested students can access the application form here.

I’d like to offer special thanks to all those faculty who have served as mentors (formal and informal) to our students and also those faculty that keep the honors program going with the gifts of their time and talents.

Spring Presentations
We have a very exciting group of students with a broad range of topics in this year’s program and hope that you will encourage prospective students to attend our final presentations this year on June 3, 2015 in the Quiet Dining Room of the PUB starting at 12:30 p.m. Everyone is invited.

Job Seekers Roundtable Fri., April 3 from 1-2:30 p.m. – How To Sell Your Brand in Silence

April 2, 2015 by Leave a Comment

job seekers roundtableBe sure to tell your students about the Job Seekers Roundtable series, that’s all about giving students an edge in interviews.

This Friday’s Rountable is all about what you don’t say in the interview. The content of what you say in response to questions (and the content of questions you ask) is obviously exceedingly important in a job interview. What is less well known is the importance of the part of the interview that isn’t spoken – the way you present yourself and behave non-verbally.

Shoreline’s own Professor of Psychology Diana Knauf, will present tips on “selling your brand in silence.” As always top notch coffee and treats will be on hand, courtesy of Central Market.

This FREE event takes place Fri., April 3 in FOSS (5000 bldg.), room 5116 from 1-2:30 p.m. Job Seekers Rountables are sponsored by Shoreline’s Plus 50 program, but all are welcome to attend. We hope to see you there!
