STAY TUNED FOR NEW WEB SITE
The Eastern University Web team is launching a new www.eastern.edu Web site. Within the next couple of weeks the site will be up and running, featuring a new template and added functionality to make it easier for you to find who, or what, you're looking for. During this time of transition, the current site will be "frozen"- that is, no new information (news and events, job opportunities, etc.) will be posted. We appreciate your patience during this transition.
BURMA/MYANMAR AID
Palmer Seminary graduate the Rev Dr. Saw Lincoln has set up a meager shelter at his church in Burma and is attempting to feed displaced persons. Pastor Lincoln says that very little of the aid that the government is letting through is making it into outlying areas. To find out what we can do to help, visit:

NEW FACEBOOK GROUP
Career Services has recently migrated the old facebook group which was identified for seniors and juniors to this new group "Eastern University Office for Careers and Calling." Much of the information we will be making available in the group is relevant for sophomores and juniors seeking internships as well as job seekers. Although designed primarily for College of Arts and Sciences students, any member of the Eastern community interested in another way to stay informed about events related to Careers and Calling are welcome to join. We are also happy to publicize departmental events related to careers and/or calling which are open to all CAS students. Send the information to careers@eastern.edu with "for the facebook group" in the subject line. We do reserve the right to edit as well as to decide whether or not to include the event on the group page. Questions? Contact Tess Bradley at tbradley@eastern.edu.
