Aug 11: 2-5pm - High
Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Training
USA room 104
The HOV training program has been
modified to meet State of Arizona requirements. HOVs are
defined as any full size van or Sport Utility Vehicle with
seating capacity of 8-15, and full size cargo vans. Minivans
and SUVs with seating capacity of less than 8 do NOT require
HOV driver training or certification. All HOV drivers
(faculty, staff, students, volunteers) must attend a
classroom training session, AND successfully complete a
behind-the-wheel road test conducted by RM&S or other
authorized observer. Road tests conducted by RM&S are
scheduled separately from the classroom training, and must
be done by appointment. The behind-the-wheel road test takes
about 30 minutes to complete. Departments may conduct the
behind-the-wheel road test at their own convenience with
their own staff upon prior approval and authorization by RM&S.
Those interested in conducting their own behind-the-wheel
road tests should contact John Murphy at 621-4551 or
murphjoh@email.arizona.edu
for orientation and approval. For details on these new
requirements, and other important policy changes, see the
new UA Fleet Safety Policy. Classes are subject to
cancellation or re-scheduling based on the number of
registrations received. To register for an HOV
training session, or a behind-the-wheel road test, contact
Sara Thomas at 626-1136 or
sthomas@email.arizona.edu
or
register on-line.

UA Caregiver Support Group
Student Union Presidio Room

support group meeting for a place to share our concerns and
develop new coping skills. The "open-ended" support group is

Tucson area for her expertise in caregiving, aging and
health care. Participants may attend on a regular basis or
less frequently, as needed. According to Jan Sturges,

Networking with other caregivers is a healthy way for them
to connect with people who have similar concerns, and to
share ideas for coping with the daily issues they face.
Participating in a caregiver support group is a great way to
refocus, re-energize and rebalance." Go to

Aug 27: 10-2pm Wildcat Student
Employment Fair
SUMC North Ballroom
Undergraduate Initiatives in collaboration
with Career Services once again offers the Wildcat Student
Employment Fair to provide University departments and
programs with an interactive and direct method of recruiting
and hiring student employees and/or interns. Higher
Education research tells us that if students must work, on
campus employment has a positive impact on persistence,
degree completion, timely graduation, and the probability of
enrollment in graduate or professional school. On campus
employment also enhances students' involvement with and
integration into institutions of higher education. This
year's fair, held on Wednesday of the first week of classes
in the Student Union Memorial Center North Ballroom,
promises to be highly attended by both departments seeking
student employees and/or interns and students seeking
on-campus employment. Over 45 departments and over 500
students attended last fall's fair. In addition to
informational tables, demonstrations for both students and
campus employers of the Wildcat JobLink system and resume
checks for students will be held onsite. Prior to the Fair,
students will be able to access a list of participating
departments and their available positions via the Career
Services website. However, they will not be able to apply
online for open positions through Wildcat JobLink until
after the fair. If your department is interested in
participating, please visit the registration website located
at
http://www.career.arizona.edu/faculty/?wsef
and register by Friday, August 8, 2008.
Participation in the Wildcat Student Employment Fair is
limited to university departments only, and there is no cost
to departments to register. Once you register, be sure to
click on the link to Career Services' Wildcat JobLink (
http://www.career.arizona.edu/?joblink-faculty) to post
your department's student employment or internship
opportunities.
For more information about the Wildcat Student Employment
Fair please contact Lizzie Schloss, Associate Director of
Career Services at (520) 621-2746 or via email at
schloss@email.arizona.edu. |

Send your thanks to
our soldiers.
It only takes a minute and is so worthwhile.
If you go to the
web site
http://www.letssaythanks.com/ you can pick out a thank you card
and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is
currently serving in Iraq. You can't pick out who gets it, but it
will go to some member of the armed services. It is FREE and it
only takes a second. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers
received a bunch of these? I sent mine, now you send one too! |

Curb Auto
Theft with the Watch Your Car Program:
It's Quick, Easy and FREE!
The Watch Your Car
decal program is a free, voluntary program that
vehicle owners enroll their vehicles with the
Arizona Automobile Theft Authority. The vehicle is
then entered into the Motor Vehicle Department (MVD)
database and participants receive decals for their
front and rear windows. By displaying the decals,
vehicle owners convey to law enforcement officials
that their vehicle is not usually in use between the
hours of 1:00 AM and 5:00 AM, when the majority of
auto thefts occur. In addition, by enrolling in the
Watch Your Car Program, vehicle owners also
authorize law enforcement officials to stop their
vehicle at any time during the day or night within
one mile of the border, if there is a suspicion that
the vehicle is being illegally operated.
If a police officer
witnesses the vehicle in operation between these
hours, they have the right to stop the vehicle and
verify it is being legally operated by the rightful
owner.
To
register for the program online go to:
https://www.aata.state.az.us/Watch_Your_Car/Info_Request/signup_request.html
Register by mail
by downloading the form at:
http://www.azwatchyourcar.com/pdfs/WYC%20-%20application%20form%20for%20website.pdf
Print it, fill it out and mail back.
