Following are new employment opportunities at UW-Eau Claire. A list of all currently available job openings and additional information about each position, including application procedures, may be found on the Academic Affairs employment opportunities Web site.

Deadline for scheduling distance education announced
The WONDER consortium requires that any summer, fall or spring 2004-05 offering utilizing the WONDER technology be submitted by Dec. 1. WONDER offerings must originate from a distance education classroom or conference room (OL 1130). For these reasons it is necessary to implement an earlier UW-Eau Claire deadline for receipt of summer, fall or spring 2004-05 requests for scheduling of the distance education classrooms. The deadline is Nov. 26.

Any requests for offerings that utilize WONDER must be submitted by that date. Although requests to use the rooms for other delivery methods still will be accepted after that date, the room already may be scheduled for WONDER. (Therefore, if you plan to offer a course of any type in one of the distance education classrooms, you may wish to submit your request before Nov. 26.)

If you have questions about scheduling a distance education course, contact Andrea Jones at jonesas@uwec.edu or 836-2424.

Chamber of Commerce announces Young Professionals program
The Eau Claire Area Chamber of Commerce has developed a new program called the Young Professionals. The mission of the group, targeted toward professionals in their 20s and 30s, is to engage and empower young professionals through community, professional and social opportunities.

The group was developed to diminish the problem of the “brain drain” and retain college graduates and young professionals in the Chippewa Valley. The membership fee is $15 per year for students. For more information or to request materials for distribution, contact Katy Kiley at kiley@eauclairechamber.org or (715) 834-1204.
