Nov 19: 5:30-7pm - HR Job Search Roundtable
USB Rm 116
Have you recently experienced a job
transition or are considering a career change within or
outside the University? Have you asked yourself any of the
following questions: What is the best way to prepare for
organizational changes? How do I market myself in an
interview? Does my resume highlight my skills and
accomplishments? What do I need to know about
layoffs/non-renewals? What are the best strategies for
"networking" with others? HR Employee and Career Advising is
hosting a Job Search Roundtable to help answer these and
other career management questions. The discussion is open to
UA employees and recent retirees. This month's session will
focus on the use of Social Networking for job search
purposes and will include a presentation on this topic.
Following the presentation, there is no set agenda and there
will be opportunities to discuss topics specific to the
needs of the attendees. Meetings are held the 3rd
Thursday of the month in Room 116 of the University Services
Building. To register follow this link:

Nov 21: El Tour de Tucson – 33 miles or 66 miles
(cycling)
Downtown Tucson
REGISTRATION FOR 2009 NOW OPEN
El Tour is a fun ride
attracting some over 9,000 cyclists of all ages and
abilities from throughout the United States and beyond,
including novice, intermediate, advanced, and
professional riders. Participants often take part in El
Tour and its festivities simply due to their passion for
cycling, while others choose the event as part of a
healthy lifestyle change or as part of their wellness
program as a survivor from cancer or other
life-threatening illness. Many are attracted to El
Tour’s variety of fundraising programs for
charitable agencies, for which the event raised over
$1.39 million dollars last year. What all riders of El
Tour share is a desire to get on their bikes, meet great
people and have a fun doing it! Participants may choose to cycle 109,
80, 67 or 35 miles, plus a 4-mile & 1/4- mile Fun Ride,
open to kids, parents and friends. Main routes take
participants around scenic areas of Tucson, with
beautiful vistas of its local mountain ranges - three
rising over 9000 feet- all complete with the backdrop of
the mighty saguaro cactus, icon of the Southwest’s
Sonoran Desert. Course profiles can be rolling to
moderately hilly, though the 35-mile route is basically
flat and great as a family affair or for beginners!

12,000 Years of Arizona/Sonora History: The people living

Political maps and boundaries notwithstanding, trade,

migration were just as immediate and important 12,000 years
ago as they are today. ASM archaeologist James Watson and
ethnohistorian Michael Brescia take you on a three-day
expedition through northern Sonora to explore key places
that reveal how prehistoric, historic and contemporary
inhabitants created their dynamic and intertwined histories
with the inhabitants of southern Arizona over the last dozen
millennia. See
