Where: Foothill College, Building 1100
Marty Nemko is one of the TOP career counselors in the nation. He has a Ph.D. in Education from UC Berkley and is ALSO a professional musician. So he really knows both sides of career paths: artistic and practical. Marty is amazing! http://www.martynemko.com/about-marty
The format for Thursday night will include mini career consultations with students, lecture discussions and interactive exercises. We will shoot video for future viewing but we REALLY ENCOURAGE you to attend, because some elements of this workshop will be best face-to-face.
This workshop presentation is organized on behalf of the MUS50C Careers in Music class and is open to all Foothill Music students and the general public. Regardless of your current position, we can ALL use some guidance in the ever changing landscape of education and careers.

No Mardi Gras Today
No one is signed up to host Mardi Gras today, sorry.
Got Work Study?
Do you have a student who wants to work in your area? Because Federal Work Study funds are limited and are first-come, first-served, this might be a good time to encourage any students you'd like to have work for you as a Federal Work Study employee in 2013-14 to complete their 2013-14 FAFSA and all Foothill-required paperwork for 2013-14 Financial Aid ASAP. Students should contact Christine Johnson, who handles student employment in our Financial Aid Office. She can be reached at johnsonchristine@fhda.edu, and/or 650-949-7470. Remind students they need to include their student ID!
Last Call For Fall Schedule Requests
The deadline for Fall Schedule Requests is Wednesday, May 22nd at 5PM.
If you are a Part Time Faculty requesting an assignment for Fall, or a Full Time Faculty requesting an overload, the request can be found here: http://www.foothill.edu/fa/information.php
A few faculty have contacted me regarding their Summer assignments - if you did not request a Summer assignment, and it did not "roll" from last year, I assume you are not interested in teaching during Summer. We still have a few classes to add as we are waiting for State approval/control numbers, and we can certainly add more sections for Late (regular) Summer if you overlooked the request process!
Got An Item?Are you performing or exhibiting somewhere? Giving a presentation? I'll be happy to put it in the TT! Items run once, so try to send it to me the week before your event.
