Reminder
Dear Juniors and Seniors,
We have partnered with Career Services to give
our junior and senior majors access to Wildcat Joblink. Wildcat JobLink is a
state-of-the-art career management tool, offering UA students access to
jobs, internships, and a range of other services including campus interview-
ing and resume referrals.
To access JobLink, please visit the Career Services website at https://
www.career.arizona.edu/joblink. All you need is your NETID and password
to login and take advantage of these great services.
Why is SGPP only funding juniors and seniors to have access to JobLink?
The funding comes from SGPP Program Fees, which only our junior and sen-
ior majors pay. If you are a freshman or sophomore, you are welcome to
register and pay the annual $5 fee out of pocket. Visit https://
www.career.arizona.edu/joblink to register.
I will be a junior at the end of the current semester. When can I have ac-
cess?
SGPP will be requesting access for any students who have reached 60+ cred-
its each semester after the census date (the 21st day of the semester). So, if
you will have 60+ completed credits at the end of this semester, you will be
granted access next semester after the census date.
If you have any questions, please email [email protected].

Dear fellow advocates for a sustainable world: At this moment when the world is about to enter a new round of climate negotiations, we’re sharing an innovative new environmental justice opportunity--the Energy, Water and Health Service Learning program in Costa Rica. It’s being developing with multiple University of Arizona departments including the College of Medicine, Office of Global Initiatives, and School of Natural Resources, among others, in partnership with grassroots groups in Tucson and in southern Costa Rica. These groups, like many others across the planet, are sounding out ways to engage citizens in creating just water policies as a leverage for wider social and environmental change. Above all, the service learning program aims to form compassionate system leaders capable of working across disciplines, sounding out hidden linkages in seemingly unrelated fields, translating complex ideas for the public--all in a spirit of generosity, integrity and devotion: movement-building. The UA College of Medicine Office of Diversity and Inclusion will award 6 upper-division credit units (RNR 495/595) to undergraduate and graduate students completing this four-week intense summer program. For more information, please visit our website.
