1. U.S. Public Interest Research Group - Careers That Make a Difference An email from LuCinda Hohmann: As a graduating senior you are no doubt trying to decide what you will do next year, or even for the next 5 years. I want to let you know more about opportunities in the public interest field. Having graduated myself just two years ago, now I am the Midwest Organizer for a group called U.S. Public Interest Research Group. U.S.PIRG is a federation of state-based public interest advocacy groups. This year we are hiring 100 graduating college students to determine where this country is going: to solve our energy problems; to reform the campaign finance system; to safeguard individuals from identity theft; to fight hunger and homelessness; and make an impact on many other public interest issues. I invite you to not only check out our web site (www.pirg.org/jobs) but to contact me for more information. Feel free to email me at hohmann@pirg.org or call me at 312-291-0349 x220! Sincerely, LuCinda Hohmann, Midwest Organizer U. S.PIRG.

3. Seminar at College of St. Catherine on March 27 CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE 21ST CENTURY Over a decade ago, graduate student Azadeh Tabazadeh championed the idea that human activity was destroying the ozone layer. Despite opposition, she went on to show that chlorofluorocarbons in the atmosphere behaved differently from particles spewed into the atmosphere by natural phenomena such as volcanic eruptions and did reduce the ozone layer's capacity to filter ultraviolet rays. Her work helped pave the way for a landmark 1996 ban on CFC manufacturing. Applying her expertise in physical chemistry to atmospheric science, she became one of the first scientists to make the connection between ozone depletion and global warming.
