STUDENT GROUP EVENTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
********************************************************************************
1. Engineering Student Council Partnership Network
The Engineering Student Council Partnership Network was created in Fall 2005 to facilitate collaboration between engineering-related student groups, as well as provide support for these groups from the ESC to complement existing support from the various governing boards (ABC, SGB, CI, CSGB, IGC). There is currently an effort to revive the ESC Partnership Network, beginning with a compilation of resources to assist group leaders, and potentially a reception or other large meeting with all groups participating in the network.
The ESC is currently seeking input from engineering student groups regarding what resources would be most useful in the successful operation and management of these clubs. All suggestions and interested groups should events.cancer.org/RFLcolumbiauniversityNY. Then, recruit members from your club to join you in the fight against
cancer. We would love to have your group join us this year in another amazing event with live performances, on-site activities, and amazing prizes.
Here is how to do it:
1) Go to the website events.cancer.org/RFLcolumbiauniversityNY
2) SIGN UP as either a team captain or join an existing team
3) Join us at Relay for Life on April 12th for tons of fun and great memories
This year, Columbia will be hosting a Monopoly themed relay, in which we encourage all teams to come out in their "boardwalk best" to
celebrate, remember, and fight back. So go get all your friends together and form a team for a great cause.
--------------------------------------------------------------
3. Yearbook Photos Needed!
The 2008 Columbian Yearbook is looking for club photos of recognized student groups for the Organizations section of this year's book. We would like to have one 'group shot' and at least one 'candid shot' of some exciting event from this year to put in the book. These photos can be ones that you submit to us, or we have photographers who can come to events or meetings to take the photos. IN ORDER TO BE REPRESENTED IN THE BOOK, WE NEED THESE PHOTOS ASAP! Our deadlines have been changed and this section will be submitted much sooner than anticipated.
If you already have photos you'd like to submit, please submit them to [email protected]. Please include your club name in the email. If you need a staff photographer to come take a photo, please contact Cliff Massey.

Old friends come together and new friends are made as teams of students venture out into the city and give back to the community that gives so much to us.

--------------------------------------------------------------
8. Columbia Science Review Call for Articles
Columbia Science Review is a science publication that is printed once a semester with the goal to promote awareness and knowledge of science and technology. This vision may sound very broad for a student group to achieve, but CSR presents unique opportunities for student authors from Columbia University and its affiliate institutes. The background of the authors vary from 1st year undergraduate students to advanced students in Graduate School of Arts and Science, School of Journalism, and Columbia University Medical Center.
CSR is an open platform (meaning we accept articles on any topic related to math and science!) for student authors to present scientific articles written in an easily accessible and concise style with precise scientific integrity in content. Articles should be written in easy language so that minimal background knowledge is needed to understand them, especially because CSR is meant to be read by all Columbia community members from students to faculty members, humanities majors to astrophysicists.
The final deadline for articles for Columbia Science Review's Spring 2008 issue is March 30th. Articles can be about a range of topics, but must be related to math or science in some way and written for the general public. Please check our website for more details, or email [email protected] with any questions.
--------------------------------------------------------------
9. Host an Event with the Society for Professional Journalist
My name is Karen Zraick. I'm a grad student in the journalism school and a board member of Society for Professional Journalists (SPJ) there. I'm also the Columbia University Liaison for the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting. http://www.pulitzercenter.org/
I'm writing to find out if you'd be interested in planning an event with SPJ and the Pulitzer Center. I would love to do an event in mid-April with Kelly Hearn, a reporter just back from reporting on oil, politics and the environment in Peru for the Washington Post and other outlets. (More info & links to video below.)
I'd like to propose Kelly Hearn, our reporter just back from Peru, who is based in DC. His reporting project "Peru's Petroleum Play: Amazon Oil and Politics" includes two video documentaries – both of which aired on Foreign Exchange – produced by Lone OutPost, Inc. in association with Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, and articles in The Washington Post, The Christian Science Monitor, and The Virginia Quarterly Review.
"Peru's Petroleum Play: Amazon Oil and Politics" is about Occidental Petroleum's giant oil operation in Peru and how a group of indigenous Peruvians has filed a class action lawsuit in the United States, charging Occidental with contaminating their environment. The Washington Post article quickly rose to become one of the top read World stories on the Post's website.
For more from Kelly Hearn on his reporting project, "Peru's Petroleum Play: Amazon Oil and Politics", visit his project page here, sponsored by the Pulitzer Center: http://www.pulitzercenter.org/showproject.cfm?id=32.
Thanks, we look forward to hearing from someone.
