Career Center helps students explore future job opportuniti By Stephanie Dube The Battalion The Career Center offers many opportunities for students to explore their career options and plan their futures. Dr. Leigh Turner, director of the Career Center, said the Center has many opportunities for students. Among these is JOBLINE, a career resource network which provides registered students in formation on employers. “This was started in January 1993, and we have had 3,500 jobs placed on it since,” Turner said. JOBLINE was initially de vised for former students who could not return to the campus for job information. However, the Center later decided current students should also have access to the database, Turner said. Today, students can make re quests for on-campus interviews electronically. Students can then view the database later and see if they got the request, Turner said. JOBLINE also includes infor mation on summer jobs and in ternships, she said. To register at the Career Center, a student must attend a placement orientation or watch a videotape. Students must register with the Center to take part in many of the Center’s opportunities, in cluding JOBLINE and on-cam pus interviews, Turner said. However, students do not have to be registered with the Center to talk with a career; attend a workshop, Turners^ Many workshops are 1 fered this semester. U these are workshops on iw terviews, resumes, graduatJ dent work experience, aii| search techniques. Turner said one of the:J tunities registered stujJ may take part in is thei pus interview. Registered students id out their resumes on the I Center’s Disk Resume. Tl dent keeps a disk with:,] sume and the CareerG| loads the student’s resuiK< its database. See Career Geology, geophysics departments to combiii By Constance Parten The Battalion Next year’s freshmen geology and geophysics students will take part in a newly implemented program geared to prepare students for the many changes taking place in these fields. Steps began last November to combine the geology and geophysics departments into one department. The new department will benefit both geology and geophysics students by expanding their knowledge base, said Jim Mazzullo, associate pro fessor of geology. “The geology students will have more physics and math than is required now,” Mazzullo said, “and the geophysics students will have more hands-on geology training. “There are so few programs that are combined like this one will be,” he said. “Our students will have a much broader background. Basically, they’ll be the best students in their field.” The new degree program will combine the student’s first two years of study, similar to A&M’s business and engineering programs’ core curriculums. The upper level courses will still be ge ward the student’s particular field of study Dr. Philip Rabinowitz, interim head of thew bined department of geophysics and geosciens said the degrees will remain the same, only the quirements will change. “Students will still receive a degree in either ology or geophysics,” Rabinowitz said. '!: names of the degrees won’t change, the stude: will simply take different classes." Texas A&M has been preeminent in producir; students going into the petroleum field for mar; years, particularly in Texas, but times hay changed Rabinowitz said, and the new dept plans must also change. He said he hopes for a curriculum with m:: emphasis on environmental fields. “We’ve been involved primarily in the pete um field for many years,” Rabinowitz said, 'am we still have to have a strong presence, butth truth is the jobs just aren’t there anymore. “We want to do what is best for the student and prepare them for their futures," Rabinowit said. “In order to do that, we have to prepar; them to be good analytical thinkers. That is ol main goal.” + TuTotsj^ig 260-2660 Tickets on sale Sunday, 9/18 from 5-7pm. 4 a . ... „ ti SAT 9/17 SUN 9/18 MON 9/19 TUE 9/20 WED 9/21 3 I’M CHEM 102 CH 15 CHEM 102 CH 16 CHEM 102 Practic Exams 6 I’M PHYS 201 CH 1,2,3 PHYS 201 CH 4 PHYS 201 CHS PHYS 201 Dr. Yarich Exams 8 PM PHYS 218 CH 1,2,3 PHYS 218 CH 4 PHYS 218 CHS PHYS 218 Practice Exams — 1 2 -5 S PHYS 201 Dr Ford Exams MON 9/19 TUE 9/20 WED 9/21 THURS 9/22 3 PM MATH 152 Review 1 MATH 152 Review 11 MATH 152 Review Ill MATH 152 Practice Test I 5 PM MATH 151 Review I MATH 151 Review II MATH 151 Review HI MATH 151 Practice Test 1 SUNDAY 9/18 4 - 6 PM CHEM 111 LAB & REPORT PREPARATION 6 - 8 PM CHEM 112 LAB & REPORT PREPARATION MON 9/19 TUE 9/20 WED 9/21 THURS 9/22 9 PM ACCT229 CH. 1 &2 ACCT229 CH. 3 ACCT 229 CH. 4 ACCT 229 Practice Exams 11 PM ACCT230 CH 16 ACCT230 CH 17 ACCT 230 CH 1 & 2 ACCT 230 CH 3 & 4 7 PM SUN 9/18 MON 9/19 TUE 9/20 FINC 341 CH 1,2,3 FINC 341 CH 3, 4 FINC 341 Practice Exams Cliffs StudyWare Study tips Disi m Priceless information.
