Program in Eller aims to aid local businesses

Planning is currently underway for the inauguration of the UA’s 21st President, Ann Weaver Hart, which will take place Nov. 30. Seven members make up the inauguration committee directly involved in organizing the event. The committee will meet every week and a half in order to discuss plans and will maintain communication with Hart and reform the event based on her input.

Possible activities for the day-long event include a variety of activities, such as a breakfast with student and faculty leadership, a luncheon with UA foundation attendees and a final welcoming ceremony. Some committee members stressed the need for students to be involved and recognized during the event. “Any president feels such an awesome responsibility for the students who are being served by that university,” said Jory Hancock, dean of the College of Fine Arts and chair of the inauguration planning committee. “I’m sure that’s the case with President Hart, and it would be an odd thing to have a ceremony that didn’t acknowledge, first and foremost, the importance of students.”

The main ceremony will take place from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. in Centennial Hall and will host a variety of campus and community representative speeches, along with the inaugural address. The speakers have not yet been selected, but the plan is to represent a broad constituency of campus and community interests, Hancock said. Hancock, who also served as chair of the committee when President Shelton was inaugurated, said that having a day-long event provides a number of advantages by affecting a wide audience. “Everyone is there for that one day, and the president is able to reach out and touch all of those groups

The Eller College of Management launched their new economic development program this semester by providing six workshops in the city of South Tucson for entrepreneurs and aspiring business owners. Each of the six classes focuses on a different aspect of running a business, including management, marketing, sales, accounting, finance and legal topics, along with secrets for success. The classes are a condensed version of Eller courses and are taught by UA professors. “A lot of the members, they actually don’t have their business yet. Right now they have a vision,” said Carlos Fimbres, a graduate student in accounting and the program manager’s assistant. “It’s actually a really good program for them to actually have an idea of how to start.” The program started when Cree Zischke, vice president of region executive global philanthropy for JP Morgan Chase and Company, asked Leslie Eldenburg, accounting professor at Eller, to create an economic development program similar to the one in the University of

High schoolers with disabilities get internships to help build resumes YARA ASKAR Arizona Daily Wildcat

A nationwide program is putting local high school students with developmental disabilities to work in various UA departments. Project Search Arizona is a national program that prepares high school students and young adults with developmental disabilities to be competitive in the workforce by providing them with hands-on job experience. The UA initiated the program in 2009 through the Sonoran University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disability who partnered with the University of Arizona Medical Center — South Campus until their recent expansion this year. The program has since grown to include UAMC’s main campus and the student affairs division on the main UA campus. Through the UA’s division, students are interning at the UofA Bookstore, the Student Recreation Center, and the Student Union Memorial Center.

“The main focus is to train young people for different types of employment and to provide them skills that will help make them successful and competitive employers in the community,” said Laura Schweers, the program coordinator. The interns, Schweers said, gain in-depth knowledge about different types of work and employment positions, and then apply that toward getting comfortable within a real, functioning work environment. “The program is not a continuation of high school, but it’s about putting it behind them and changing their expectation of themselves and their future,” Schweers said. Interns begin their day at 8 a.m. with an academic session, focusing on budgeting, social skills and communications. The class is followed by a fivehour shift at their designated interning position and then another hour of academic session
