CSO sponsors resume collection for nonprofit sector employers

Career Services (CSO) will be conducting its first-ever Nonprofit Sector Resume Collection on April 19. This last collection will be the first to focus primarily on jobs in the nonprofit sector, although some jobs in the for-profit sector will also be included. There are currently 23 nonprofit jobs posted on CSO's Web site, however this figure might increase over the course of a week. The CSO press release explained that "Nonprofit job openings are hard to organize into resume collections, as nonprofit organizations generally hire only as-needed." The creation of this new resume collection demonstrates CSO's determination to provide support for those students interests in careers in the nonprofit industry. More information is available on Middlebury's Career Services Office website.

Application numbers at the last two CSO resume collections have been markedly lower than previous years.

Symposium on global feminism underway

"Global Feminism," a symposium organized and run by three Middlebury student organizations, kicked off yesterday with an afternoon lecture and a "healing fire ceremony" to recognize women who have suffered at the hands of sexual violence. Last night's events culminated in a candlelight vigil held outside of Mead Chapel.

The symposium, undertaken by coordinators from Middlebury College Women of Color, Feminist Action at Middlebury (FAM) and the College's chapter of Amnesty International, strives to present women's rights as human rights. The symposium also hopes to promote collaboration on campuses and in communities around the world, raising awareness and tackling issues that affect women.

The symposium will run through Sunday and include a selection of lectures, discussions, a film and slam poetry, as well as a one-woman show. A complete calendar of events is available on the Middlebury College web site, though highlights include Staceyann Chin's slam poetry event tonight at 7 p.m. and Saturday evening's 7:30 p.m. cultural show.
