Announcements for the week of June 24 to July 1, 2010

REMINDER LAST OFF-CAMPUS EMPLOYMENT WORKSHOP


Are you graduating this summer? As a reminder, F-1 students must have permission from immigration to work off campus. Off-campus employment includes internships, Cooperative Education or other paid training that is not on the UAHuntsville campus. We offer employment workshops to help ensure you understand your options available. Students must attend a workshop before an advisor can meet with you to discuss your individual questions. Email visahelp@uah.edu to reserve a space in the FINAL workshop until late September (space is limited to 10 students). The workshop will be held in the UC room 132 (small room on the back hallway of the UC BEHIND the lobby)

FINAL WORKSHOP DATE: FRIDAY, July 16th 1pm



HAVE YOU READ OUR BLOG? The ISSO has a BLOG and will be posting periodic updates. Visit us at and read your fellow student’s requests. If you can assist please contact the student directly. If you have an idea for the blog please email us at visahelp@uah.edu with your request.


SEEKING VOLUNTEERS!

Once again, we are looking for current students and recent alumni interested in volunteering to welcome the group of newly admitted students arriving to start their degrees at UAHuntsville this August. We have LOTS to do to prepare for the arrival of the new students and want to be sure that we provide the best welcome and assistance possible to help all of the new students get started in the right direction to be successful academically and personally. With your help we can meet our office goals! We are in need of students who can with a variety of talents and interests. While I wish I could hire international students in paid positions, the ISSO budget does not provide funds to hire students. We will try to have some fun "incentives" to thank you for your hard work


If you would like to volunteer in the office occasionally during the summer semester or specifically during the peak arrival times of the new students please send an email to visahelp@uah.edu with your full name, email address you prefer to receive correspondence, phone number, languages you speak, your summer availability (especially between August 1-August 13) and any details you think we need to know about you to help us as we prepare for the fall student arrival activities.
