This summer, the Fulton Schools of Engineering Career Center is again hosting the popular “Advice from Industry Professionals” speaker series.

Our speakers, representing key employers, provide very direct, actionable advice for our students. We welcome students at all levels, including incoming students, to attend and ask questions! More details can be found on Handshake.

ASU Counseling Services is now available to any student, anywhere in the world, at any time, day or night.

ASU Counseling Services’ expansion to a 24/7, 365-days-a-year global service is thanks to the addition of Open Call and Open Chat. While students are still welcome to drop into any of the physical locations during regular business hours for same-day services, Open Call and Open Chat function as additional options to access the same level of care and expertise, wherever and whenever they need it.

Available in six languages, including Arabic, Chinese, Korean and Spanish, Open Call and Open Chat can be accessed through the MySSP @ASU website, by downloading the MySSP app or by calling 877-258-7429. ASU Counseling Services and MySSP are connected in an intentional, ongoing way to ensure students have streamlined and coordinated services, whether they are accessing care in-person or remotely.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) and ASU has several opportunities for you to be part of a university-wide effort to prevent sexual violence. We each have a responsibility to create a caring and inclusive learning environment where violence is not normalized or tolerated. During the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond, we need to remain committed to creating safe physical and digital spaces so that all individuals can thrive.  As always, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with the reporting process/options and campus resources.

Here are some ways you can take action:

• Review the SAAM Webpage to see an overview of the month, and learn more about resources, poster series, and events. Reach out to consent@asu.edu if you would like to offer extra credit for an event.

With support from Google Research, the SolarSPELL initiative is excited to host its first exploreCSR (computer science research) workshop. This workshop is a broadening participation initiative during which we hope to engage students underrepresented in computer science with the SolarSPELL initiative to demonstrate how to use ‘computing for good’.

The Fulton Schools is offering a special presentation about the FURI for international students.

What is FURI? The Fulton Undergraduate Research Initiative, known as FURI (pronounced like “fury”), is designed to enhance your engineering and technical undergraduate curriculum by providing hands-on lab experience.

Why should I do it? Having research experience will add value to your resume and increase your opportunity to find a job.
