The Student Résumé and Internship Workshop was a success. Over the course of the two workshops we had approximately 15-20 students participate. Representatives from a number of local organizations and business presented on both evenings. All had very worthwhile advice and information for the students. Some students even walked away having made some very good contacts and possible internship opportunities for the spring semester.

Last night, students in the College of Communication had the opportunity to sit down and chat with the new Dean of our College, Dr. John Pauly. Many topics were covered in the one hour event including learning about the dean, challenges and opportunities associated with the Diederich donation, and the Career Mentoring Program. Dr. Pauly was pleased to be able to meet with the undergraduates in an open environment like this and looks forward to other opportunities to do so.

Welcome back everyone. We have a busy semester ahead of us. Below is a list of the planned events and activities:

Meet the Dean - LPH is sponsoring a meet and greet for College of Communication students to meet our new Dean, Dr. John Pauly. The event will be held on October 10 from 5-6p in Johnston Hall Room 303.

Internship & Resumé Workshops - LPH, in conjunction with Internship Coordinator Sheena Carey, is sponsoring two sessions that will help students through the process of finding and securing internships as well as preparing resumés for the future job search. This event will be held on Monday, October 23rd and Wednesday, October 25th from 5:30-7:30p in JH 415.

Communication Studies Faculty Research Colloquium - LPH is sponsoring a session designed for students in the department and college to get to know their faculty beyond the classroom through brief presentations of the research interests of the faculty. The event will be held October 30th from 6-7p in Johnston Hall, Room 303.

Cider and Cookie Sale - Set for October 31st, LPH will have a table set up in Straz Hall to sell hot cider and cookies as a fundraiser this fall.

Fall Induction - The fall induction of new LPH members will be held November 9th from 7-8p in JH 303.

Holiday Bake Sale - Our annual holiday bake sale is being planned for either the last week in November or first week in December. This is our second fundraiser for the semester.

Holiday Giving Tree - LPH will once again participate in the Holiday Giving Tree project. This year we will sponsor 12 local children to ensure each receives a holiday gift this year. This is where a large portion of our fundraising money goes towards in the fall.

Other items - This semester, the officers are working towards presenting the membership with a draft constitution of our local chapter. As soon as a draft is completed, it will be circulated among the membership. It is hoped that a constitution can be finalized and approved sometime in the spring semester.
