  We are allRise, a legal startup that helps litigators better manage their schedules by providing live courtroom updates.

  We are currently looking for paid, part-time interns for the month of July. We've had a very successful start to our summer intern program, and we are continuing and expanding our program in July.

  What you'll do: Get an up-close look at how the court-system works and see what it's like to be a litigator. As a Courtroom Observer (the official title for our interns), you will follow court proceedings in a Cook County courtroom, and use our technology platform to update attorneys on case progress. This is an essential role to help us us demonstrate our product to the legal community. 

  Who we are looking for: Undergrad and recent grads that are considering law careers, who are interested in learning about the court system. Available to work 9am-12:30pm three days per week (M-F) or more. You should have reliable transportation to get to the Daley Center (Clark and Randolph in the Loop) and be able to carry yourself in a professional manner in a courtroom environment. 

  We offer paid training (we will give you a crash course in the legal system, knowledge you won't learn in law school), and ongoing career development sessions with practicing attorneys.

  Interested students should email George Vavaroutsos with information about themselves AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (an up-to-date resume is great but not required), and we'll set up a time for a phone screening this week.

  If you have any questions, please feel free to email (operations@allriseapp.com) or call (847-340-0579) George Vavaroutsos for more information.

She now heads the Oncofertility Consortium, an interdisciplinary team of biomedical and social scientist experts from across the country.  She founded and directs the Oncofertility Saturday Academy (OSA), one of several high school outreach programs that engages girls in basic and medical sciences, and developed the concept for a National Physicians Cooperative in Oncofertility (NPC) in order to link medical practices interested in fertilitypreservation protocols. Dr. Woodruff also serves as the founding director of the Women's Health Research Institute, which has as its mission ‘science to care’ and ensuring that sex and gender are part of the research mission.  Because of her work in inclusion, she was recently interviewed by Leslie Stahl and was highlighted on a 60 Minutes report and has written extensively on inclusion of sex and gender in science and medicine (PNAS, Nature). She was named to the Time Magazine 2013 list of the World’s Most Influential People as the only scientist on the list and was voted 112th. Dr. Woodruff was awarded the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science Mentoring in an oval office ceremony (2011) and her other awards include the Beacon Award from Frontiers in Reproduction (2013), the Women in Science Award from the Weitzman Institute (2012), and an Alumni Association Merit Award from Northwestern (2012). In addition to her academic stewardship, she also served as the President of the Endocrine Society from 2013-2014.

• GIVE (Growth International Volunteer Excursions) Info Meeting, Wed. 9/3

  Sep 2, 2014 5:45 am73 views

  VOLUNTEER IN NICARAGUA, THAILAND, AND TANZANIA WITH GIVE AND “BE THE ROOTS OF CHANGE”!

   

  **Note: This is not a UIC organization or a direct exchange program connected with UIC, so students should see their adviser in their degree granting college and the financial aid office to plan academically and financially if interested.**

   

  Immerse yourself in a foreign culture and help the community drive sustainable change while earning academic credit by joining Growth International Volunteer Excursions (GIVE)! GIVE is having information sessions on Wednesday, September 3^rd about unique volunteer opportunities and our fully accredited academic course in Central America, Southeast Asia, and Africa this upcoming winter and summer. We hope to see you there!

   

  Become a part of our volunteer community and empower local villages abroad in Northern Thailand, Nicaragua, and Tanzania. You might earn university academic credit by participating in a unique, accredited experiential learning course that will provide you with life changing professional and personal growth!

   

  GIVE is dedicated to creating opportunities for community development and service learning overseas through education, sustainable infrastructure projects, and environmental conservation. As a GIVE volunteer, you will build schools out of recyclable materials, implement fresh water projects, teach English, complete marine and environmental conservation projects, and help to protect critically endangered species. 
  
  
  

  In conjunction, you will get the chance to immerse yourself in the culture of your host country and participate in incredible adventure travel within the region. This includes (but is not limited to): overnight safaris in Africa, sand-boarding down an active volcano in Nicaragua, scuba diving, snorkeling, swimming with dolphins and sharks in tropical waters, surfing, cave exploration, volunteering at elephant sanctuaries in Thailand, and much more!   

   

  GIVE is committed to using best practices in sustainable development. Our development approach is supported and vetted by numerous experts in the field, and is designed to empower our host communities.  For example, GIVE volunteers constructed an entire secondary school out of 15,000 plastic bottles recycled straight from the community, and is funding desperately needed technical education initiatives for a fishing village in rural Nicaragua.

   

  Not only will you have a hands-on experience, you will also have the opportunity to learn about sustainable development and cross-cultural relations through our UNIV 304 International Sustainable Development course offered in partnership with Central Washington University! 

   

  Now it’s your turn to be part of more innovative, relevant, and unique projects that will change your life and the lives of the locals you are assisting as well. Make the world your classroom, make an impact overseas, and be the roots of change!

   

  Come meet us to learn more about volunteering abroad for credit!  Meetings are this Wednesday, September 3rd in the Student Center East on the 7^th floor, room 712! Meetings start at 11:00, 12:00, 1:00, 2:00, and 3:00pm!

   

  Feel free to stay for the whole meeting or come and go as you please!  You can also visit our website for more information at www.givevolunteers.org.

   

  Cheers!
