Alumni registered with the center can access job openings and in
terviews by telephone through the job line.
Katie Nichols, senior industrial distribution major, said that nearly
all the students in her major find a job through the career center.
“The convenience, stress and redundancy it alleviates puts you a
step ahead when looking for a job,” she said.
Companies conducting interviews on campus between now and May
2 include Hewlett Packard, Plantation Foods, Inc. and Office Depot.
Ziola Humphrey, employment office assistant with Plantation
Foods, Inc., said Plantation Foods is looking for A&M studerij
production supervisory positions.
“We have a relationship with A&M in hiring tons andtoj
A&M students in the past,” Humphrey said. “Because of the;
lent agriculture department at A&M, graduates from thisikj
ment make good supervisory candidates.”
Job postings are available for all students, even those nol:

Payne said these postings are from companies that will note: ■ c ° l '

so we can find out what they need.”
Mark Troy, coordinator for evaluations
programs in Measurement and Research
Services, said student ratings of faculty will
be a helpful tool for students.
“As students become aware of the avail
ability of the teacher evaluations, it will be
as useful as grade distributions for them,” he
said. “The more aware students are of the
results of the evaluations, the better it will
be for everyone.”
Troy said making teacher evaluations
available to students may improve how they
complete the evaluations.
“I hope students will take the evalua
tions more seriously when their input goes
somewhere and people are looking at
them,” he said.
Shopp agreed that making student rat
ings of faculty accessible to students could
help obtain higher quality responses.
“Right now a lot of students simply bub
ble in anything,” he said. “I hope that those
who are apathetic toward evaluations will be
more serious when they see other stci
are using them.”
