LinkedIn offers job seekers a vast online community of supporters who will be there to help them get jobs. Donna Serdula takes us back to the basics to remind us of the importance of building a powerful and engaging profile, one that will not only be found in searches, but that accurately reflects accomplishments and capabilities. It's not rocket science, but it does require a commitment of time and an occasional review to keep relevant. Serdula's book, LinkedIn Makeover, is a must read for LinkedIn users. Register online.

Our Alumni Career Speaker Series in April will feature Sherri Thomas, a career coach and author of the book Five Steps to a Powerful Personal Brand. She learned a great deal about brand during her career working as a community relations director for NBC and producing more than 250 commercials. Her passion and interest is to help people stand out in a crowded job market. To do that, she helps job seekers focus on the five most important things they need to do to develop a personal and memorable brand.  Register online.

We are pleased to present this year's "Road Trips to the Real World" program -- a series of employer site visits for your students during the winter break, January 2-11, 2013.

I wanted to invite all HC students to the Writing Center's Lunch & Learn series this semester. If you'd like to post on Whit Weekly about this, feel free.

The L&L series celebrates reading and writing by inviting faculty members to discuss writing-related topics with students. The first one will celebrate National Literacy Day with English professor Ann Amuicucci, who will be discussing digital literacy and e-books on Friday, Sept. 7 at 12:30 PM in the Writing Center (218 Eicher). Students are welcome to bring a lunch and eat in the Writing Center during the event. There's more information about future speakers here: http://www.iup.edu/newsItem.aspx?id=131628&blogid=6707.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
