REGISTER FOR ASCS Q377: THE ART OF MEANINGFUL WORK

Q377 is for juniors and seniors who are beginning to think about life after college, and for whom finding meaningful work is of the utmost importance. Q377 is a 3-credit-hour, semester-long course offered through the College of Arts and Sciences. It is open to any junior or senior who has not taken ASCS Q294.

Description: In the 20th century, the illustrious psychologist and concentration camp survivor Viktor Frankl wrote: "The truth is that as the struggle for survival has subsided, the question has emerged - survival for what? Ever more people today have the means to live, but no meaning to live for." Now, in the rapidly changing world of the 21st century and contemporary issues of economic, social, and environmental concern, most of us would like to find meaning in our work, and the sense that there is a deeper purpose to our lives. Each of us wants to serve the world in our own unique way, and yet it is easy to lose touch, or never really become clear about, what this might mean for us. In this course we will examine the idea that each of us has a "calling" or unique gift to bring into the world. We will ask questions such as:

*What kind of world do I want to live in?
*What are the personal gifts that I can bring into my work, and to others?
*What moves me to want to act?

Through experiential and self-reflective individual and group exercises from a variety of perspectives, you will be challenged to subjectively explore personal issues of meaning and spirituality and to discover your strengths, values, and passions, while objectively exploring topics such as the economic context of work, the environmental crisis and work, and the idea of "right livelihood." The discussion component of this class will be emphasized, and you will be asked to dig deep in order to develop a unique philosophy of meaningful work, and to discover the calling to which you are led.

The Peace Corps traces its roots and mission to 1960, when then Senator John F. Kennedy challenged students at the University of Michigan to serve their country in the cause of peace by living and working in developing countries. From that inspiration grew an agency of the federal government devoted to world peace and friendship.

Since that time, nearly 200,000 Peace Corps Volunteers have served in 139 host countries to work on issues ranging from AIDS education to information technology and environmental preservation. Today's Peace Corps is more vital than ever, working in emerging and essential areas such as information technology and business development, and committing more than 1,000 new Volunteers as a part of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. Peace Corps Volunteers continue to help countless individuals who want to build a better life for themselves, their children, and their communities.

NEW First Year Veterans Experience Course

We are very pleased to offer the following course for the first time this fall. It is designed to ease the transition from military service to higher education and is taught by John Summerlot, a USMC and Army National Guard veteran on the IU staff. The class meets first 8 weeks only, is 2 credits, and can be found under EDUC-U 206 class number 32537. It will meet Tuesdays 5:30-8:30 pm in McNutt 003.
The enrollment is by permission only – contact vetserv@indiana.edu or jopsumme@indiana.edu if you want to enroll.

This course is based around the idea of creating a documented transition plan for the student to use as future reference and modify as needed. The plan is a well thought out examination of how the student is going to transition to the higher education environment from the military. Each week we will do some activities and have some discussions that focus on a particular aspect of the transition plan occasionally supplemented by lectures or presentations from a variety of sources including the students themselves.

This course is designed to be interactive and on most occasions will allow for customizing the content to fit the needs of the students as a whole and sometimes as individuals.

Please contact me if you need any further information.

GRE changes - new information

The information below is of particular importance to those who need to take the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) and who plan to apply for spring, summer, or fall 2012 admission to graduate programs.

The GRE is undergoing dramatic changes in 2011. ETS has at last provided more information about the changes. They refer to the new GRE as "the GRE revised General Test."

All of the information at the website indicated at the bottom of this email is important, but, as you plan when to take and prepare for the GRE, pay particular attention to the dates when the revised GRE is being phased in. Here are a few key points (but again, read all of the information about the revised GRE on the ETS site and plan accordingly):

If you take the GRE revised General Test between August and September 2011, ETS says it will report your scores by mid-November 2011. (Registration for the revised GRE begins March 15, 2011. ) They recommend that if you need your scores before November 2011 you should take the current GRE exam before August 2011.

Therefore, it is extremely important as you are researching which programs to which you might apply that you confirm when each program needs your GRE scores. Be mindful of rolling admission deadlines (i.e., programs which begin filling spots as soon as their application cycle opens) so that you get your scores to them earlier for maximum competitiveness. ETS recommends that you take the GRE at least four to six weeks prior to when you need the scores reported.

It would seem, then, that those who plan to apply for admission to graduate programs for summer or fall 2012 admission or beyond will likely be taking the revised GRE. For those who are applying for spring 2012 admission, it is a bit less certain when you should take the GRE, but it seems that those applying for spring 2012 admission may need to take the current GRE in order to optimize rolling admissions or meet application deadlines. As indicated above, in order to decide by when you need take the GRE, you first need to determine when each program needs the scores. Remember that if your programs need your cores before November 2011, ETS recommends you take the current version of the GRE before August 2011.

Those applying for earlier admission to graduate programs – for instance, for spring, summer, or fall 2011 admission – will be taking the current GRE.

Read more detailed information about the revised GRE General Test, and how it will be phased in, at www.ets.org/gre/revised_general/know.
IMPORTANT: Various links in the left margin of the revised General Test page will take you to important information about the new GRE design, information about how the test questions themselves are changing, and information about how to prepare for the revised exam (including sample questions and the pool of topics on which the writing section will be based).

For information about the current GRE, see www.ets.org/gre/general/about.

Finally, pre-OT students and pre-PT students should consult the newly expanded HPPLC OT and PT sites (hpplc.indiana.edu > Other Health Professions > PT or OT) for additional information and tips related to the GRE. The pre-PA site has not yet been fully expanded, but pre-PA students can still make use of the GRE information on either the PT or OT page – it will be very similar when adapted to the PA page.

Note: This information was prepared for Indiana University Bloomington students by the Health Professions and Prelaw Center. Please note that specific requirements and policies can change at any time without notice. Students are responsible for obtaining the most current information directly from application and testing services, and the schools and programs in which they have an interest. Refer to each program's web pages, bulletins, and other publications for the most current information. Students are responsible for understanding degree course requirements, as well as other requirements, policies, and procedures related to the degree(s) they are pursuing; for enrolling in appropriate courses; for understanding IU policies/procedures; and for following through properly with regard to all of the preceding.
