Reminder
Dear Juniors and Seniors,
We have partnered with Career Services to give
our junior and senior majors access to Wildcat Joblink. Wildcat JobLink is a
state-of-the-art career management tool, offering UA students access to
jobs, internships, and a range of other services including campus interview-
ing and resume referrals.
To access JobLink, please visit the Career Services website at https://
www.career.arizona.edu/joblink. All you need is your NETID and password
to login and take advantage of these great services.
Why is SGPP only funding juniors and seniors to have access to JobLink?
The funding comes from SGPP Program Fees, which only our junior and sen-
ior majors pay. If you are a freshman or sophomore, you are welcome to
register and pay the annual $5 fee out of pocket. Visit https://
www.career.arizona.edu/joblink to register.
I will be a junior at the end of the current semester. When can I have ac-
cess?
SGPP will be requesting access for any students who have reached 60+ cred-
its each semester after the census date (the 21st day of the semester). So, if
you will have 60+ completed credits at the end of this semester, you will be
granted access next semester after the census date.
If you have any questions, please email [email protected].

LifeSTEP (Life Skills Training and Enhancement Program)
The psychology clinic has established a community service agency that provides undergraduate mentors & life skills trainers to school-aged youth with emotional and/or behavioral problems. The vast majority of these children are from a minority group living in poverty in Tucson and are struggling with a variety of emotional and behavior problems. We are currently accepting applications for Spring semester. As a LifeSTEP (Life Skills Training and Enhancement Program) provider, you would be meeting with your assigned youth about once a week for about 4 hours each time. Activities might include going to the movies, getting an ice cream, going bowling or spending time at a park, etc (you would be reimbursed for your expenses including gas). You would receive 3 units of internship credit (393 or 493 depending on your U of A status), and you would have the opportunity to receive training in this area. We are especially in need of male interns (but we do have spots for female interns as well) If you are interested, please complete the attached application & email it back to [email protected] by Dec 4. I will hold an informational meeting on Dec 10 (Reading Day - no classes) in the afternoon for all applicants (I will send more details about the time/location of the meeting to all applicants by the end of November).
APPLICATION HERE BTW - there are NO LONGER age restrictions for the program (so you don't have to be 21 to participate) I look forward to hearing from you - Julie Julie Feldman, Ph.D. Department of Psychology University of Arizona (520)621-7447

Dear fellow advocates for a sustainable world: At this moment when the world is about to enter a new round of climate negotiations, we’re sharing an innovative new environmental justice opportunity--the Energy, Water and Health Service Learning program in Costa Rica. It’s being developing with multiple University of Arizona departments including the College of Medicine, Office of Global Initiatives, and School of Natural Resources, among others, in partnership with grassroots groups in Tucson and in southern Costa Rica. These groups, like many others across the planet, are sounding out ways to engage citizens in creating just water policies as a leverage for wider social and environmental change. Above all, the service learning program aims to form compassionate system leaders capable of working across disciplines, sounding out hidden linkages in seemingly unrelated fields, translating complex ideas for the public--all in a spirit of generosity, integrity and devotion: movement-building. The UA College of Medicine Office of Diversity and Inclusion will award 6 upper-division credit units (RNR 495/595) to undergraduate and graduate students completing this four-week intense summer program. For more information, please visit our website.
