Celebrate the first annual Innovation Day next month!

See why we’re the university that is #1 in innovation — join us for hands-on activities and demos, and meet the innovators that boost us to that title. Plus, Reggie Watts, a musician known for his improvised musical Acappella sets, will be on the Coca-Cola Sun Deck at the end of the day.

The Fulton Schools Career Center is currently accepting applications for undergraduate peer career coaches. Coaches will be trained in resume writing, interviewing, using career development resources and job search strategies. Once training is completed, coaches can take the exam to become “Certified Peer Educators”. New coaches will begin working in January. Apply through Student Employment: #46608BR.

Students, the end of the semester is almost here. Translation: lots of deadlines and final exams. Take time to relax and b-r-e-a-t-h-e over the long weekend. Take a few moments to be thankful and be sure to squeeze in time to have some fun.

We will be holding a Career Conference on Monday, December 17, 2018. Staff will cover “How to write a technical résumé” and “Successful interviewing.” There will be an employer panel and a presentation from immigration attorneys. Details will be on the Fulton Schools Career Center website soon. If you missed our workshops during this semester, or want to get a head start for spring recruiting season, do plan to attend.

All of us at the Fulton Schools Career Center want to wish our students, colleagues and friends a very Happy Thanksgiving! We are thankful for the opportunities we have to work with all of you!

Joyce Donahue is a Certified Career Counselor in the Fulton Schools Career Center.

Six professionals shared their career stories and answered students’ questions at the Aviation Panel and Mixer held last week on the Polytechnic campus. The panelists represented professional flight, air traffic control, engineering, law, teaching, management and entrepreneurialism.

Someone asked when a college student should do an internship. The answer was as soon as you can and as often as possible. We heard the story of a career that began with the job of being a “ball boy” for the Miami Heat. The story (and the career) evolved from an unpaid to paid internship, through sports marketing, networking in the circle of professional athletics, seeing the need and providing the link between professional athletes and private jets.

The Sigma Lambda Chi student organization at Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering would like to invite you to our guest lecture: “Innovative Engineering Best Practices” by Dean Kashiwagi.

Kashiwagi had been a professor at ASU for 25 years before he retired in 2017. Kashiwagi’s research focuses on optimizing the supply chain in many engineering industries. His best practices have been utilized in many organizations in countries such as the United States, Canada, Netherlands and India with great success.

This past summer the members of SEDS-ASU Rocketry Division were hard at work building a rocket for the annual Spaceport America Cup competition. This organization is a chapter of the international organization, Students for the Exploration and Development of Space or SEDS. This chapter was formed last February becoming an official Fulton Student Organization.

These students built a 10-foot rocket with more than 500 pounds of thrust to reach 10,000 feet in altitude and carry an 8.8-pound payload. With the help of a few industry sponsors as well as ASU’s very own KEEN Grant, the team was able to raise more than $15,000 to build the rocket and travel to New Mexico for the launch. The team also partnered with several non-profit veteran organizations including: Wings for Warriors, Team Overland and The Veterans Community Center. SEDS-ASU Rocketry Division advertised these organizations on their social media raising awareness for them as well as raising donations for their efforts.
