Effective Autumn 2015, students submitting an electronic thesis/dissertation (ETD) are required to upload their Committee Approval Form to the Administrative Documents Section of the ETD Administrator Site. These forms were previously accepted in person, but the Graduate School has now moved to an electronic (scanned) submission process.

The Odegaard Writing and Research Center is expanding its Writing Circle Program this year and we would like to invite students who are in the process of writing dissertations and theses to join us.

Writing Circles for Long-Term Projects

For many, working on a long-term project can be an unfamiliar, isolating, and daunting process. So, we are proud to open a shared space, 12:30-3pm on Fridays at the Research Commons (Green A), for students with the primary goal of writing and sharing strategies together. We welcome projects such as dissertations, Master’s theses, senior theses, research proposals, journal articles, and creative writing. This space will be facilitated by OWRC graduate tutors; at the start of each session we will set individual writing goals and, at the end, we will check-in to debrief about the day’s writing process and set goals for the week. Secondary goals will be generated with participants and there will be a graduate tutor available to discuss writing strategies. Regular participation is strongly encouraged, but you are free to drop-in.

If you any questions contact Ben Hole (bvhole@uw.edu) or Yasi Naraghi (cyasin@uw.edu)

Seattle Parks and Recreation and the Associated Recreation Council are launching TAT 2015-2016 this October.

The Able Teens Program (TAT) is an afterschool job and life skills training program based in service learning. The program allows teens aged 14-19 to pursue vocational and personal interests and gain employable skills through volunteer projects with community based organizations like community centers, libraries, food banks, and many more.

In the past, TAT members have practiced such skills as cleaning, cooking, food preparation, event set-up, organization and customer service. They also learn how to search for a job, complete an application, write a resume, and interview.

We are recruiting now for TAT members as well as work study students and volunteers to help run the program. TAT coordinators work with our teens, their families and support persons to specialize our curriculum and excursions to meet participant needs and interests. TAT’s goal is to help members gain skills and connections for long-term employment and an increased sense of independence to ease the transition into life after high school.

We are also looking for vocational training and volunteer opportunities for our members. Does your University need volunteers or offer trainings?

If you or anyone you know would like to become a TAT member, volunteer, work with us through a work study program, or partner with us as an organization, please get in touch.
