A summer course in Metals and Jewelry

Registration for Summer session at JMU is in full swing, and it's a great time to take a Metals and Jewelry class through the JMU School of Art, Design and Art History.

In contemporary practice, craftsmen and artists use the techniques and materials of jewelry to create sculpture, body adornment, and decorative and functional objects. The summer sessions of ART 240 Metals and Jewelry are a great way to learn more about metal and metalsmithing techniques, creative problem solving, and the composition of beautiful and meaningful objects. The class is also an on-going experiment in applied thermo- and fluid-dymanics, and metallurgy.

This summer, in addition to teaching the basics of small-scale metal fabrication, we will be covering Laser and Micro-TiG welding and induction casting techniques as well.

These are intensive 3-credit summer courses that run in four-week blocks (May 14-June 8, and June 11 - July 6, from 12:30 to 5:20 pm.) with class sizes that are very small so I can be focused on you.

The usual pre-requisites and restrictions on registration for this class are waived for summer enrollment. If you experience any difficulty registering, please contact me.

Please visit my website for more information on me and the Metals and Jewelry classes at JMU at http://www.mrooker.com or email me at rookermd@jmu.edu.

Thank you,

Jobs for Graduating Seniors with U.S. PIRG

As a graduating senior, you are no doubt trying to decide what you will do next year, or even for the next 5 years. Consider a job with U.S.PIRG.
www.uspirg.org/jobs

When I was getting ready to graduate from college I knew I wanted to do something to make the world a better place but I didn't know what kind of job or career would enable me to make the biggest impact. When I heard about U.S.PIRG and how they tackle our country's biggest problems by mobilizing millions of people across the country, I was excited. As a campus organizer in my first year in 2008 I worked with more than 50 interns to register young voters for the 2008 Presidential Election. Together we registered more than 1600 students to vote and increased youth voter turn out by more than 400% in our district.

The deadline to apply for our 2012-2013 positions is Friday April 27th.
Apply at www.uspirg.org/jobs

If you're like me, you look around and see too many problems in our country to sit back and do nothing. With U.S. PIRG, you can actually get paid to take on and solve the problems our country faces; from advocating for policies that will make sure that the food we eat and the water we drink are safe and free of toxic chemicals, to researching the solutions to challenging issues, like balancing the federal budget (our staff found ways the debt commission could save $2 trillion!)

U.S.PIRG is a federation of state-based public interest advocacy group. And working together we have a much greater opportunity to actually make a difference. U.S.PIRG has a 25-year track record of organizing on these issues, and we're hiring over 100 graduating seniors to jump right in and make a critical impact as a campus organizer or in our fellowship program.
