University Studies Peer Mentor Program

The University Studies Peer Mentor Program is now accepting applications for students to become Peer Mentors for the 2012-2013 academic year. We are seeking academically successful, upper-division PSU undergraduate or graduate students to apply for these excellent leadership and teaching opportunities.

The University Studies Peer Mentor Program at Portland State University plays an integral role in the Freshman Inquiry (FRINQ) and Sophomore Inquiry (SINQ) courses. Over 100 undergraduate and graduate Peer Mentors work directly with the FRINQ and SINQ faculty to support students by role-modeling and developing the skills needed to succeed at the university. Given the nature of their work, and their frequent professional development trainings, Peer Mentors also benefit by developing strong leadership, listening, and communication skills, making them highly sought after candidates in the workplace and in graduate programs

All applicants must have a 3.25 minimum GPA. Undergraduates who will have successfully completed 90 credits or more by September 2012 may apply to become Peer Mentors for Freshman Inquiry classes. Students enrolled in and admitted to graduate programs by September 2012 may apply to become Graduate Mentors for Sophomore Inquiry. Two letters of recommendation are required. One of the letters of recommendation must be an academic reference.

All mentors receive a form of tuition remission and a monetary award or stipend.

Applications are due January 17, 2012.

Please post and/or share this information with your students.

Bloomberg Assessment Test

Bloomberg is hosting the Bloomberg Assessment Test (BAT) on the Portland State University campus this weekend, and business students can benefit from participating in this event. The BAT is a standardized exam focused on different aspects of finance and is great new way for students interested in finance to land internships and full-time job offers with investment banks, hedge funds, and other multinational corporations. Additionally, for the first time students are given access to see how they compare to their peers on a global scale.
The BAT, which is a 3 hour online assessment, will be offered on campus to students interested in careers in finance, economics and business.  We will have limited capacity (only 19 seats available) and are hoping to fill these openings with high-caliber students.
The openings are expected to fill up quickly and are on a first come, first serve basis.
Below are the details:
What:  Bloomberg Assessment Test
When:  Friday, November 18th or Saturday, November 19th // 10:00am - 1:00pm
Where:  Portland State University. SBA 340.

Notes:
• No downside: Score well—get noticed by employers; score poorly—you’ll forever be anonymous.
• Hundreds of employers are currently using our talent search to connect with students.
• Hundreds of students are making connections with employers after taking the assessment.
• Students can learn how they compare with their peers globally.
• No preparation required.
