"Job Outlook: Hiring up 5.3 Percent for Class of 2010" - National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) Job Outlook 2010 Spring Update.

Parents, did you know that your student's free access to the resources of the UCI Career Center ends at graduation?

The Career Center team helps all students - those with a plan and those who are still unsure. If your student is unsure about their job situation or future career plans, please encourage your student to come make an appointment with one of UCI Career Center's counselors for help.

Last summer, UC Irvine senior Jasmine Fang traveled to the rural Dominican Republic province of Elías Piña to build latrines for residents and teach public hygiene. She learned something too: the value of community.

Evenings and weekends, families would gather to play basketball, jump rope or just socialize. Says Fang: "People in the Dominican Republic really appreciate togetherness. They don't stay indoors playing video games like we do here."

The experience led her to think about how she could engage her own community. Fang is taking the first step by sponsoring Kindness Month at UCI with funds from the XIV Dalai Lama Endowed Scholarship she received last year.

Since the beginning of the school year, more than 30 students have put their skills and creativity into producing UCI's 2009-2010 Anthology yearbook. This 34th volume of the yearbook documents the year's campus happenings showcasing seniors, campus organizations, campus life, athletics and administration.
