Hello Students,

The Associated Students of the University of Washington (ASUW) is your student government. The Personnel Committee is a year-long commitment that shapes employment policies, reviews changes to ASUW entities, and hires the 70+ paid student employees of the ASUW. Members of the committee will get experience working with labor policies, critically reviewing the organizational structure of the ASUW, and leading ASUW’s hiring committees during spring quarter.

Hi All,

Thanks to everyone who provided feedback on the new UW CEE Strategic Plan, which is currently in development. We are working hard to complete the plan by the end of the quarter.

After including feedback from many in the CEE community, we would like to provide you one more opportunity to comment.

We are interested in feedback on the strategic plan summary document. We will capture feedback via a survey [surveymonkey.com], which includes a link to the summary document. We will collect feedback through next Wednesday (11/16).

Note that you do not need to provide your name and email address if you do not want to. We are still interested in your comments.

Dear Students,

I hope you have had a great start to the school year! Back by popular demand, I will be continuing to host LEED webinars to help prepare your students for the sustainable demands of their future careers.

Make your resume stand out with the premier sustainability designation called the LEED Green Associate! LEED is simply a sustainability scorecard for green buildings. As buildings can become LEED Certified, people can become LEED accredited! The best way to break into the sustainability space is to attain the LEED Green Associate. It also shows employers and clients you have certified knowledge in the field. Since the LEED GA exam doesn’t have a stellar pass rate, the value of the extra letters behind your name will carry even more weight.

Our engaging webinars have helped over 10K students and professionals learn the material cold AND clear the exam with a very high passing rate. The LEED Professional Designation has helped past participants attain internships and jobs and now is a great time to add this credential.
