Research area must be within one or more of the following geographic areas: San Luis Obispo County, Santa Barbara County, and/or northern Channel Islands Applicant field: Applicant must be an undergraduate student at one of the colleges or universities within San Luis Obispo or Santa Barbara Counties: Santa Barbara City College, Cuesta College, Allan Hancock, University of California Santa Barbara, Westmont College, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo From the Saturdaze Scholarship website . . . Natural History is the broadest study of science and attempts to tie together observations of the natural world into a single interwoven fabric. As such, the knowledge base of natural history has grown beyond a single category of study and has been divided into smaller and smaller and more and more isolated disciplines. It is not uncommon that professional biologists study a single organism in a laboratory, far removed from its natural habitat. The Saturdaze Scholarship for Natural History Research supports the broader view. Natural History is accessible to all who love and enjoy observing nature. In his essay on the Origin of Species, Charles Darwin, as a naturalist, wrote that . . . "It is interesting to contemplate an entangled bank, clothed with many plants of many kinds, with birds singing on the bushes, with various insects flitting about, and with worms crawling through the damp earth, and to reflect that these elaborately constructed forms, so different from each other, and dependent on each other in so complex a manner, have all been produced by laws acting around us." Who among us has not contemplated nature and been inspired to learn about the connectedness within diversity? In this sense, natural history has attracted not only the scientist, but the artist and poet; natural history has become the romantic science. The romance of natural history stems from our desire to relate to the natural world, to regain a connectedness to it, and to preserve its diversity. Saturdaze has partnered with the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History and has funded a scholarship to encourage research that helps to explain one or another "entangled bank". The Saturdaze Scholarship for Natural History Research rewards exceptional students attempting to discover interactions in nature. Saturdaze and the Museum share the goal of "inspiring a passion for the natural world". -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Coal Oil Point Reserve is located just west of UCSB and Isla Vista and is an ecologically important area that is home to a number of endangered and threatened species. This Saturday we will be planting natives, removing non-native plants, and maintaining previously planted areas. This is a great opportunity for all community members who want to improve water quality and the local habitat for all the critters that live here! We will meet at 9am where Slough Rd dead ends at the dirt parking lot by Coal Oil Point (Aka Sands Beach). Slough Rd begins at the intersection of Storke Rd and El Colegio. If you are coming from Storke Rd go straight at the intersection of Storke and El Colegio onto Slough Rd (follow the sign pointing to University West Campus). If you are coming from Isla Vista make a left at this intersection. Continue on Slough Rd as it winds around Devereux slough estuary until the road dead-ends at the dirt parking lot. Look for the yellow habitat restoration sign and this is our meeting spot! If traveling by bike from IV follow the bike path that starts at the end of Del Playa and travels along the bluffs (away from UCSB) to the tip of Coal Oil Point. Go right down the dirt road which leads to the parking lot and all the happy restoration volunteers. If you plan to join us but have never been to Coal Oil Point Reserve before, please email longwell at lifesci.ucsb.edu and I will gladly send you a map. We strongly suggest carpooling to cut down on the number of cars on site! Tools, gloves, water, and snacks will be provided.

Hello Pre-health Profession students! My name is* Brittany Dixon *and I am the Director of Recruitment and Training for the Clinical Care Extender Volunteer Internship Program at St. John?s Regional Medical Center and St. John?s Pleasant Valley Hospital. This program provides students who are thinking about working in the health care field with the opportunity to gain a unique experience with the health care field that includes direct patient care in many different areas of the hospital such as the Emergency room, Labor and Delivery, medical-surgical unit, Rehabilitation, Mother/Infant Unit, Peri-Operational Unit, and several others. The volunteer will gain knowledge on the procedures and type of atmosphere each unit has. We also have an opportunity for students who are interested in healthcare administration. Volunteers are given 24 hours of training prior to volunteering so that they are prepared for any experience they will come upon as a patient care provider. The Clinical Care Extender Program allows participants to work with all levels of medical staff to better understand the dynamics of a hospital environment. While volunteering, students get direct, hands-on experience and guidance from the staff of the realities of working in the medical field. Thank you for your interest in the Clinical Care Extender Volunteer Internship at St. John?s Regional Medical Center and St. John?s Pleasant Valley Hospital. Orientation/Interview sessions occur every three months, and are currently being conducted. Please check our website for specific dates and times: http://www.copehealthsolutions.org/services/hwt/CCE%20Program/Hospitals/SJRMC/index.html _Here are the answers to some of our more frequently asked questions:_ */What exactly is a Clinical Care Extender?/* Clinical Care Extenders are volunteer interns who participate in hands-on patient care or in our Executive branch within the hospital setting. As a Clinical Care Extender, you will become a valuable member of the patient care team as you help to bathe, feed, change, comfort and provide company for hospital patients. In our Executive branch you can engage in our Leadership Team and then on to our Executive Team while assisting with our Community Education Department in data analysis. You will help with a myriad of tasks in a variety of hospital nursing units. As a Clinical Care Extender, you will gain unparalleled exposure to the medical field and what it really takes to be a Healthcare Professional. / *What time commitments does the program require?*/ The Clinical Care Extender Internship requires a 240 hour commitment. /If you will not be around for an entire year, you should consider applying at a later time when you are able to commit a year uninterrupted./ You will attend a mandatory 3-day training course (24 hours) before serving in the hospital. Clinical Care Extenders serve one 4-hour shift each week for 60 weeks. In just over one year, a Clinical Care Extender completes 240 hours of volunteer service! / *What shift times are available?*/ Shifts are scheduled on a first-come-first-serve basis (we will explain more about this procedure at the orientation). In most departments, shifts are available 7 days a week from 7am to 11am, 11am to 3pm, 3pm to 7pm, 7pm to 11pm. */What departments do Clinical Care Extenders serve in?/* Clinical Care Extenders currently serve in 12 departments at St. John?s Regional Medical Center and St. John?s Pleasant Valley Hospital: All Clinical Care Extenders will begin in a basic nursing department for their first rotation- Medical Surgical Nursing Unit 3South/3North and for those who want a more intense experience the Acute Care Unit which is Telemetry and Oncology.

This is the final deadline for Fall 2007 and the early application deadline for Winter 2008. The UCSB Washington Program offers a special opportunity for upper-division students to undertake an internship in our nation's capital while receiving full academic credit for the quarter. In recent years students have had successful internships at the Supreme Court, the White House, the State Department, and many Congressional offices (particularly those of Senators and Representatives from California). However, not all the internships involve traditional kinds of government service. Students have interned at the Smithsonian museums, a wide range of non-governmental organizations and advocacy groups, private-sector businesses, law offices, brokerage firms, consulting companies, media outlets, and research laboratories. The UCSB Washington Program assists students in finding appropriate internships and Program faculty and staff are committed to working one-on-one with our students to make their experiences in Washington academically rewarding and career-enhancing. Students in all the UC Washington Programs live in a state-of-the-art residential facility in downtown DC. The building is within easy walking distance of the Metro subway system, in the beautiful Dupont Circle neighborhood. The UC Washington Center sponsors a variety of lectures, excursions, and other activities that are open to all members of the UC Washington community. The Washington Program will be accepting up to 31 students for each quarter of the 2007-08 academic year. You can get information on how to apply from the UCDC web site, www.ltsc.ucsb.edu/urca/ucdc.php or by contacting the UCDC Peer at 893-3090 or ucdc at ltsc.ucsb.edu.

Thank you! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saturdaze Scholarships Scholarship amount: $2,000 annual, awarded 15 July Application deadline: 15 June Application website: http://www.sbnature.net/scholarship/index.htm Use of scholarship award : unrestricted Scope of Saturdaze Scholarships: Awarded to an undergraduate involved in research in natural history and majoring in a biological sciences major. Research area must be within one or more of the following geographic areas: San Luis Obispo County, Santa Barbara County, and/or northern Channel Islands Applicant field: Applicant must be an undergraduate student at one of the colleges or universities within San Luis Obispo or Santa Barbara Counties: Santa Barbara City College, Cuesta College, Allan Hancock, University of California Santa Barbara, Westmont College, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo >From the Saturdaze Scholarship website . . . Natural History is the broadest study of science and attempts to tie together observations of the natural world into a single interwoven fabric. As such, the knowledge base of natural history has grown beyond a single category of study and has been divided into smaller and smaller and more and more isolated disciplines. It is not uncommon that professional biologists study a single organism in a laboratory, far removed from its natural habitat. The Saturdaze Scholarship for Natural History Research supports the broader view. Natural History is accessible to all who love and enjoy observing nature. In his essay on the Origin of Species, Charles Darwin, as a naturalist, wrote that . . . "It is interesting to contemplate an entangled bank, clothed with many plants of many kinds, with birds singing on the bushes, with various insects flitting about, and with worms crawling through the damp earth, and to reflect that these elaborately constructed forms, so different from each other, and dependent on each other in so complex a manner, have all been produced by laws acting around us." Who among us has not contemplated nature and been inspired to learn about the connectedness within diversity? In this sense, natural history has attracted not only the scientist, but the artist and poet; natural history has become the romantic science. The romance of natural history stems from our desire to relate to the natural world, to regain a connectedness to it, and to preserve its diversity. Saturdaze has partnered with the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History and has funded a scholarship to encourage research that helps to explain one or another "entangled bank". The Saturdaze Scholarship for Natural History Research rewards exceptional students attempting to discover interactions in nature. Saturdaze and the Museum share the goal of "inspiring a passion for the natural world" Questions should be referred to scholar2007 at sbnature.net. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Training: May 30-June 6, 2007 in Alaska Program begins: June 6, 2007 Ends: August 22, 2007 The program called "Ambassadors of the Environment" is run from a 700-passenger ship, with daily excursions the naturalist will lead, in the field in the following ports: Seward, Sitka, Skagway, Juneau, Hubbard Glacier, Ketchikan, Campbell River and Vancouver. Excursions include whale watching, hiking through muskeg, secondary and primary forest and along glacial lakes, a rafting trip down Chilkat River, visit to salmon hatchery, raptor centers, fishing, fish disection, and fish painting, and possibly biking. Kids age range is mixed: 10-17, parents often join our activities because we have fun! Two naturalists work together, with groups of 30 kids max. 1.5 days out of seven days will be spent onboard during which the naturalist will run ship-based natural science activities such as a microscope lab (plankton, glacial ice). The naturalist will share a spacious passenger cabin with one other naturalist (full bath included). Naturalists will dine with other crew members. Work day hours vary. Generally begin with 9am morning activity (3 hrs), 1 hour break for lunch, afternoon activity (3-4 hours) with a 2-3 hour dinner break, and 2 nights of 7 there is an evening activity lasting 1-2 hours. Naturalists work Monday - Sunday with one of those days starting at 1:30 pm. Pay is $500-$600 per week with all food and lodging plus transport to and from Alaska, included. We require that the naturalist have a degree in environmental or natural science. Must thrive working with kids and teaching outdoors in all weather conditions (rains a lot in Alaska).

Last summer I got involved in Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times. For those of you who don't know CRMfGT is a camp for children who have or had cancer and their siblings. It's a safe place where they can go fun and just be kids, and forget about all their troubles at home. It really is a great time for all involved. I've already been to 3 camps and I'm going back for another this weekend. The reason I am telling you about this is that the Camp staff are coming here to UCSB to hold interviews for counselor positions during the summer on _*May 9th*_. There are 6 different summer camps throughout the summer and two kinds of counselors. You can be an activity counselor, or a cabin counselor. There are pros and cons to each, the activity counselor gets to see all the kids at the camp at one point during the week, but doesn't get to know them too well. The cabin counselor, on the other hand, gets to know around 10 of the campers really well throughout the week. Camp is an awesome experience and I totally recommend it. So if you are at all interested come out on _*May 9th at 7PM*_ to the CAB office to interview. If you have any questions about camp or the interview process feel free to e-mail me (c_malone at umail.ucsb.edu) and I'd be happy to answer any of your questions. You can also check out the website at www.campronaldmcdonald.org. Thanks for your time and have a great day! -- Cameron Malone American Red Cross at UCSB, President c_malone at umail.ucsb.edu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
