Abstract
Though Jill Lauren Hass currently volunteers as the WISE Communications Executive and newsletter Editor, her full-time occupation is as an engineer employed in the private sector within the water and wastewater industry. Previously, she paid her dues working and volunteering in Central and South American countries for grassroots, international non-government organizations by working with local communities to secure good water and sanitation for themselves. Jill will present a two part seminar for WISE members interested in volunteering their high skill set abroad. First she will share her most recent experience in Africa and secondly she will also provide attendees with options for volunteering abroad on a long-term project or short-term emergency deployment. If you have ever found yourself wondering what it would be like to volunteer on an overseas project but weren’t sure how to become involved or what it entailed, this seminar will provide you with valuable information.
Hope to see you there,
WISE Ottawa

"WISE" Steps to Success - what every woman in science and engineering should know
When: 5:45-8:00pm, March 2, 2010
Where: Porter Hall, Carleton University Centre (beside Mike's Place)
There's more to success than just passing your courses. There are a lot of skills to be learned outside of the classroom that greatly contribute to your future. And the earlier you start learning them, the earlier you can reach your goals.
Carleton's WISE, IEEE WIE, and Career Services have joined forces to give you the career building essentials and help you stand out. Whether you are actively looking for a job or not, this is an event you don't want to miss.
The event is free for Carleton's women in sciences and engineering and will include a light dinner and dessert. You will hear from experts on networking, importance of making a great first impression, dressing for success, confidence building, and negotiation skills, as well as have the opportunity to speak to mentors from academia and industry, to meet other students in your field, and to practice your skills.
The dress code is business casual.
Please register through the myCareer website if you attend Carleton, and sign up here only if you do not attend Carleton.
