However, she said the board still has questions. “[The trustees] are not going to quickly take any action that might have the potential to have an adverse effect,” she said. “There will be ongoing conversation among the trustees about this issue, and I wouldn’t want to predict, but there certainly are serious questions that would need to be answered about how practical this is.” Campbell said she admired the stu- dents’ passion and appreciated their effort in bringing attention to this issue. She added that, according to an investment committee policy, the board is required to invest the endow- ment in the interest of finding the best return on those investments. Campbell explained that while Tufts has participated in divestment movements in the past, this measure is somewhat different from the efforts in South Africa and Darfur.

b y Caitlin McCl u r e Daily Staff Writer

Everything happens online these days, and the job search is no exception. Career Services advises all Tufts upper- classmen pursuing summer internships and jobs following graduation to take advantage of social media sites as a supplement to their applications. The effective use of social media in the job search can be a useful networking tool, provide valuable company information and express creativity and personality. In today’s recruiting market, employ- ers expect results to come up when they Google an applicant, according to Shimrit Paley, Assistant Director of Career Development at Tufts Career Services. Beyond ensuring there are no red flags that could sabotage a candidate’s chances in the application process, employers are looking for a professional representation of candidates online. LinkedIn is one of the bigger social media outlets that can be utilized to con- trol an applicant’s professional online presence in a positive way. The free basic service allows users to create profiles listing their academic and professional accomplishments. “LinkedIn profiles have really high search-return rankings, which makes it possible to control what a future employ- er finds,” Paley said. Students looking to network can ben- efit from setting up profiles on social media sites such as LinkedIn in order to connect with co-workers and contact potential employers. “It’s a great networking site that allows you to see who you know and how you know them,” senior Maggie Riddle said. Riddle emphasized the site’s impor- tance in her own job search. Using LinkedIn, she was able to identify con- nections with and contact target employ- ers, including Tufts alumni.

Documentary Practice (PNDP) traveled to Burma for a 10-day, on-site workshop to explore Burmese life. PNDP, which is a program under the Tufts Institute for Global Leadership (IGL), allows students from various disciplines to gain skills in narrative storytelling through multime- dia. The students journeyed to Yangon, the country’s largest city, and their work has culminated in a photo exhibition entitled “Burma in Transition” at the Tufts Art Gallery. The exhibition opened at the Slater Concourse Gallery on Jan. 23. and will continue through the end of February. The exhibition is divided into 11 sec- tions, each of which showcases the work of a particular student and focuses on a specific theme or location in Yangon. These sections distill the work of the artists, as their portfolios and the pho- tographs they took over the course of an entire year culminate in a display of about 12 photographs per student. Next to each of the pieces is a description of the student’s chosen theme or location and how it relates to the larger social atmosphere in Burma.

After a disappointing winless week- end trip to Connecticut, the men’s ice hockey team was back home in Malden for two NESCAC matchups, this time against No. 12 Williams and Middlebury. Despite a strong performance against the Ephs on Friday night and a late charge Saturday against the Panthers, the Jumbos were overpowered by their conference foes. With the two losses, Tufts drops to 1-9-2 in the conference and remains in ninth place, still one point outside of eighth place and a spot in the NESCAC tournament even amidst their slide. Led by the two goals of sophomore Peter Mistretta, Williams came away with a 5-3 victory on Friday night, their second over Tufts by exact score this season, with the first coming on the road. The success for Williams came in its ability to match the Jumbos blow for blow throughout the contest. In fact, each time Tufts scored, Williams was able to respond within a minute, quick- ly killing any momentum the Jumbos Caroline Geiling / The Tufts Daily were able to create. Senior forward Scott Anderson scored 15 points and pulled in 3 rebounds in the Jumbos’ 74-67 road win over Bates. “On Friday, our discipline after we scored is what shot us in the foot,” Jumbos hit stride as win streak increases to sophomore defender Blake Edwards said. “They came back and scored with- b y Al e x Ba u d o i n the Jumbos have put together a six-game they were a high-energy team and the in a minute on each of our three goals.
