CDC wins national award
The Career Development Center at RPI won a NACE Excellence Award for developing its “Sophomore Career Experience” program early in June. The award, which was presented recently at the annual meeting of the National Association of Colleges and Employers in New York City, recognizes the best educational program related to career development or employment targeted to students or career center or college recruiting staff.

The CDC received the NACE award in the category of College Educational Programming. The criteria for judging included innovation, usefulness, program need, creativity, and results. 

Last September, the CDC developed a new program for sophomore students to build on first-year experiences. The six-month Sophomore Career Experience is designed to offer career, job search, and professional development opportunities through various programs, seminars, and networking with alumni as well as business professionals.

Commons wall gets a face-lift
In an effort to actively seek ways to have more art displayed on campus, several members of the Class of 2010 have created a mural depicting many of the buildings seen on campus.

Members of the Class of 2010, led by Teddy Tablante, worked under the direction of associate professor of art Kathleen Ruiz and J. Elyse Holladay ’07 to create a map of the RPI campus. The mural—painted on hardboard and backed with frames—consists of five different panels, illustrating the history and activities that take place in each respective building.

The mural was unveiled at the end of the spring semester, and is on display in the Commons Dining Hall lobby.
