5/6 Undergraduate Leadership Scholars Program
With over 1000 student organizations at Texas A&M University, students can engage in many leadership opportunities. Student leadership is vital to having the full Aggie experience. The Undergraduate Leadership Scholars Program provides an opportunity for students to develop and showcase their leadership.
Hosted by Honors and Undergraduate Research, the Undergraduate Leadership Scholars (ULS) Program is a 2-semester leadership development and engagement capstone. ULS focuses on developing student leaders through academic course work, reflective essays, and peer group conversations with other student leaders. Each ULS student will propose and complete a leadership enhancement project for their organization. Throughout the program, students will be guided in creating an academic journal article in leadership, or another leadership-based scholarly product.
ANY STUDENT who has a minimum 3.0 GPR and is an officer within any Texas A&M student organization may apply. Applications are open now! A project proposal is required with the application. Please feel free to nominate any student you feel would be appropriate for the ULS Program, or encourage them to apply.

4/6 Pre-Registration for 100 and 200 level chemistry courses
Dear Colleagues:
I would appreciate it if you could forward these reminders to your students who may wish to enroll in 100- or 200-level chemistry courses.
HCG
A few reminders for successful registration into chemistry courses:
1) Students wishing to enroll in a chemistry laboratory need to complete the lab safety acknowledgement before registration. Students who haven't done this will get a "Student Attribute Error" upon attempting to register for a laboratory course.
2) The lectures and laboratories of 100-level chemistry courses are corequisites, meaning that students must register for them at the same time, not sequentially. (They will need to type the CRNs of both courses and then click submit.) Students who attempt to register for one at a time or are unsuccessful at adding one will get a Prerequisite/Test Score error.
3) Students may take organic lecture without enrolling in the laboratory, but the reverse is not true. A student must register for the lecture before or with the laboratory. A student attempting to register for the laboratory first will get a Prerequisite/Test Score error.
4) A few sections of CHEM101, CHEM111 and CHEM227 are restricted to honors students or chemistry majors, as listed below.
Restricted to honors students:
CHEM227-200
CHEM101-201
CHEM111-201 through 203
Restricted to Chemistry Majors
CHEM227-501
CHEM 101-511 and 512
CHEM 111 sections 581- 590
5) Seats are added throughout pre-registration to 100 and 200 level chemistry courses, usually at the beginning of morning and evening registration start times. We can not promise and will not force any student into a particular section.

3/9 Impact is looking for Graduating Seniors!!
MAKE YOUR IMPACT.
for our environment, our democracy, our future.
Impact is hiring graduating seniors for a two-year program that’s all about winning concrete, lasting change in our country on some of the most important issues of our time.
We currently employ Impact organizers in 25 states, working on national campaigns to reduce global warming pollution, restore Clean Water Act protections to America’s streams, expand solar power in 12 states from Arizona to Massachusetts, end the overuse of antibiotics on factory farms, and counter the influence of Super PACs and billionaires over our democracy.
WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH IMPACT
What will you do with Impact? First, there’s training. In August 2015, you’ll join other recent graduates from around the country in classroom trainings on the issues, our campaigns, our strategies and the tactics you’ll use throughout the year. Then, you’ll put those skills to use in the field.
Your field assignment will depend in part on what issue we can make the biggest difference at any given time in your state. For example, you might build the coalition that convinces a wavering senator in your state to vote the right way on crucial Clean Water Act protections. Or you could organize the news event that convinces the governor in your state that “going big on solar” is an opportunity to be a hero with the public.
Even when there's not a big vote or decision coming up, your organizing might build the power we need to secure victories in the future. When we educate people and then win them over to our point of view, we lay the groundwork for lasting political change.
HOW YOU’LL MAKE AN IMPACT
Every day with Impact is different. You may find yourself building an online following for our campaign to tackle global warming through email and social media, recruiting new community groups to join a clean water coalition, organizing a news event on the influence of big money on our democracy, or meeting with an editorial board about the overuse of antibiotics on factory farms. During the summer, you’ll run a citizen outreach canvass — and have the power of a paid staff of college students and others ready to help you build support for an issue, recruit new members and raise funds around the campaign.
SALARY & BENEFITS
As a campaign organizer, you will earn $25,000 in your first year and $26,500 in your second year. After three months on staff, you’ll be eligible to join our group health plan at no cost to you. You’ll receive two weeks of paid vacation at the completion of your first year, and accrue three weeks over the course your second year. You’ll be eligible to apply for college loan assistance after your third month, and to participate in our 401(k) plan at the end of your first year. Salary and benefits vary in California, Connecticut and New York.
TO LEARN MORE AND APPLY
http://weareimpact.org/
IMPACT is an equal opportunity employer and will not discriminate against any employee or applicant on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, religion, age, sex, handicap, pregnancy, sexual orientation, or veteran status.

On the evening of April 22nd, 2004, Pat's unit was ambushed as he traveled through the rugged, canyon terrain of eastern Afghanistan.

The Fiscal Challenge (link)
Can you put the U.S. on a sustainable fiscal path?
Each year, the U.S. federal government spends more than it earns. This is called a budget deficit. Over time, these deficits accumulate into what is called the national debt. Currently, the U.S. national debt (publicly held) is $12 trln. The non partisan CBO estimates that Federal Debt held by the public would exceed $20 tlrn by 2024.
How might this fiscal imbalance impact the health of the U.S. economy and the prospects for job creation? How might this level of debt impact our status as leaders in the global economy? How might spending beyond our means today impact our ability to react to adverse shocks in the future?
These are some of the most pressing issues facing policy makers today, and I want your help in solving them. I invite you to join the Fiscal Challenge. This a competition wherein teams students from colleges and universities from across the country devise and defend their plans for putting the U.S. on a sustainable fiscal. Teams work through the late fall and early spring semester to craft a plan to achieve a particular fiscal objective. This year, that objective is to stabilize the Debt to GDP ratio at its current level by the end of a 25-year planning horizon. Each team submits their plans in early Spring 2015. We identify the top four, and send the finalists to Washington D.C. in April. Once there, teams will present their plan in front of a panel of judges, including leading experts from the White House, OMB, CBO, and policy think tanks. The judges will ask the tough questions, and evaluate team responses. The winners are announced and award are presented. The teams then get to tour DC, meet with policy makers, and get a taste of how their plans might be implemented. Registration is now open. All the details of the competition can be obtained through our website www.fiscalchallenge.org.
For instructors, this is a topical and substantive experiential learning exercise that pays dividends for our students while they are in school and beyond. For students, you are the ones whom these issues will impact most directly. The fiscal decisions today are going to impact you tomorrow. Who better to tackle them now than our future leaders.
Grab some of your classmates. Develop a plan. Make your voice heard. Join the Fiscal Challenge.
