Hello Everyone!
 
English Club is planning another event titled, So You're an English Major...Now What?
 
Below is the information we have thus far:
 
Date: April 23, 2008
Time: 7:00 p.m.
Location: Sully Hangout (as of now, this might change, and if it does I will let you know)
Audience: Freshmen-Seniors
Schedule: 20 minutes per speaker
 
We're looking for the event to be about an hour and a half long.  Dr. Jerz is going to be speaking about the Lemire book (which our event is named after) along with some other tid bits, and CareerWorks is going to be speaking about internship opportunities and what you can do with an English major (or journalism, creative writing, poetry, etc.).  I've been in contact with two alumni, Karissa Kilgore and Diana Geleski, and both are going to try and make the event (Diana is def. scheduled in).
 
I'm working on the posters since I work at CareerWorks, so I'll take care of the marketting this time.
 
If you have any questions, please let me know! I really hope to see you all there because it is something that we all could benefit from!
Thanks,
Stephanie Wytovich, Secretary

If you're looking for a cup of coffee and a refreshing taste of literature this weekend, the staff of -- and some SHU contributors to -- Eye Contact will be reading selections from our campus literary magazine at DV8 cafe in downtown Greensburg this Saturday night (4/12) from 7-8pm, followed by open mic as part of their "Get Lit" series.  See the Eye Contact weblog for more details.  ALL ARE INVITED! -- Dr. Mike Arnzen

The Tribune-Review has an interesting article about senioritis. (Don't start relaxing now!)
Lauren Miller, 19, agrees. She says the pressure of her senior year in high school was intense, with her advanced-placement classes. Yet, equally intense was the temptation to succumb to "senioritis" and slack off, because she was burned out and preoccupied with college.

In her math class -- not the Greensburg resident's forte -- the disease did kick in.

"I didn't want to be there," says Miller. She is now a freshman at Seton Hill University, majoring in Spanish. "I really had to just force myself to go to math class.

"A lot of people in my high school were just so eager to get out of (school)," she says.

Don't slack off, even though it's tempting, Miller advises high-school seniors.

"Even though it's their last semester, those grades are going to count and they're going to show up on your transcripts," she says. "If you start slacking off the last semester of high school, you're not going to be prepared for high school."
