Transportation Representative - Sales -Chicago Central
As a Transportation Representative for the Chicago Central office, you will work with a sales representative that has a portfolio of existing accounts to manage. Immediately you will take responsibility for the growth and success of the relationship, business decisions and accountabilities. You will continue to deliver unparalleled service to your accounts while extending the integration of our systems with those of your clients. You'll devise and execute tailored solutions to increase efficiency, add value, and maximize profitability throughout the supply chain. You will handle the day-to-day challenges that are presented in the transportation industry. This position progresses to our transportation sales position where you will engage in new account development and execution of daily freight shipments and establishing your own portfolio of business.

Transportation Sales Summer Internship - Chicago Central
An internship with C.H. Robinson-Chicago Central will give exposure to one or more of the following areas: logistics management and transportation, economics with a 3rd party perspective, sales and negotiations, carrier management, customer account management, distribution patterns, tracking and tracing, scheduling of appointments, warehousing, and logistics integrated systems. It is more than likely that an intern will be exposed to two or three of these areas. As part of the Transportation Sales team, you will assist in managing and developing business with existing clients. The goal of our Sales Internship program is to offer you a challenging learning opportunity and to enhance your potential to become a member of our CHR team upon graduation. Our internship position is very closely modeled on our full-time Transportation Representative position. This position is located in our downtown Chicago Central Branch.

January 22 underground screening

Reprising a screening from last Fall, this Friday underground will be showing a selection of shorts by renowned filmmaker and Emerson College professor Robert Todd. While he has no characteristic style, his work is always diffuse, elliptical, and suggestive, its effects based on implication rather than explanation. His films are fixtures on the national and international experimental film festival circuit.
************************
The underground film series is sponsored by Indiana University's Department of Communication and Culture. All screenings are on alternating Fridays at 7 p.m. in
room251 of the Radio-TV building on the IU campus. All screenings are free and open to the public, and free parking is ample in the lot adjacent to the building, provided you clearly display an underground flyer on the dashboard of your vehicle.

Pass/Fail Deadline for First Eight Week Classes

Tuesday, January 26th is the last day to sign up to take a first eight week class pass/fail.

If you are interested in taking a class pass/fail, please stop by my office (in the CMCL building at 800 E. 3rd Street, room 259) so we can complete the required paperwork.

Here is some information about the pass/fail option from the College of Arts and Sciences Bulletin (http://www.indiana.edu/~bulletin/iub/college/2008-2010/student.shtml#pass): “During the four years of their undergraduate program, students in good standing (not on probation) may enroll in a maximum of eight elective courses to be taken with a grade of P (Pass) or F (Fail). The Pass/Fail option is open for a maximum of two courses per academic year, including summer sessions. For the Pass/Fail option, the academic year is defined as beginning with the start of the fall semester and ending with the end of the second summer session. The course selected for Pass/Fail must be an elective (i.e., it cannot fulfill requirements other than the minimum 122 hours required for the degree, and the requirements for credit hours at the 300-400 level). It may not be used to satisfy any of the College of Arts and Sciences’ general education requirements, nor may it be counted as a part of the student’s concentration area, nor may it be counted toward completion of a minor or certificate program. The course or courses may be used to meet the requirement for courses at the 300-400 level.”

Haiti Relief Effort at IUB

Dear CLACS faculty, students, and friends:

As the day has worn on, our awareness of the magnitude of the catastrophe in Haiti has grown. It is almost inconceivable: possibly “hundreds of thousands” dead in the area around Port-au-Prince, the city and most of its buildings destroyed. A proud and long-suffering people has been struck down once again.

We must help them survive and move forward. And we must also be sensitive to the needs of our own Haitian and Haitian-American student population here at IU. Some of them still do not have word about their family members in Haiti. Please lend a helping hand where possible.

From this moment, we have declared CLACS a collection site for Haiti relief items. During our normal business hours, in our Center at 1125 E. Atwater Ave, we will be receiving materials to be sent to Haiti. We are still working on identifying the best way to get such items to Haiti; if we can’t partner with an organization working out of Indianapolis or another nearby city, we will use limited CLACS funds to mail boxes to organizations in Miami or D.C., where relief flights will be ongoing.

I spoke with a relief worker this afternoon, and she informed me of these priority items: Wound dressings and bandages; rehydration packets; Chloroquine (anti-malarial); non-perishable foods (Peanut butter, crackers, canned items, for instance). Obviously, most of us do not have these medical supplies on hand, but we do have food. And if some of you could make calls to Bloomington Hospital or the IU Wellness Center, perhaps we could get some of these medical items donated as well.
As the days and weeks pass, these immediate needs may shift. We will keep you informed of priority items. We see this as a long-term effort; we cannot allow the immediacies of the moment to obscure the broader reconstruction effort as well.
In the meantime, for those of you who prefer to make monetary donations to organizations with operations already on the ground in Haiti, we have compiled a list of links, from which you may choose. Just as soon as we can, we will also create a link to these from our CLACS webpage.

Our Instructor of Haitian Creole, David Tezil, particularly recommends the International Firefighter Association, at www.ifarelief.org.

Also, within two hours of Tuesday's 7.0 magnitude earthquake, musician Wyclef Jean and his organization Yéle mobilized on social networking sites to raise funds for disaster relief. Jean is encouraging people to text "Yéle" to 501501, which will automatically donate $5 to the Yéle Haiti Earthquake Fund, or to visit http://www.yele.org/.
