1. Announcement: On Campus Jobs will now be posted on ZebraNet
Stony Brook is transitioning from SOLAR to a new and improved system for publicizing on campus jobs (FWS, Student Asst, etc.)! Departments will continue to use SOLAR for processing employment, but the job postings themselves will now be listed through the Career Center's ZebraNet database. Students will now have one site to search for all types of work experiences. Stephanie Rovello (Financial Aid) and Kim Rant (Client Support) have been key participants in this transition. We are confident you will find ZebraNet easy to use and a great improvement over SOLAR for recruitment. To find out if you have a ZebraNet account contact the Career Center at 2-6810. If not, one will be created for you. Please direct students to www.stonybrook.edu/career for ZebraNet information. https://www.myinterfase.com/stonybrook/resources/resource_view.aspx?token=JZhH13a4vGqi9 Lt22Pudeg%3d%3d

Getting our international graduate students to speak at length in English is the goal of our Conversation Partner Program. You just need to sign up for a day of the week and a half hour slot that you can meet with the same international weekly to converse. The idea is to get them speaking to improve their oral English proficiency while acting as a good istener. Sign up is outside N-255 in The Social and Behavioral Science Building. When an international signs up for your slot, they will contact you to begin. You can meet them at the sign up table.vThank you for considering this great opportunity!
