The Daily Wildcat Two student-run organizations have teamed up to provide condoms for Safe Ride passengers upon request. Ride Safe is a new incentive that will premiere next semester in all Safe Ride vehicles. The directors of Safe Ride and the Student Health Advocacy Committee are currently promoting a new movement to equip Safe Ride cars with condoms for UA students. After the success of last year’s initiative to provide condoms in residence halls, this initiative was put in motion by Aaron Brussels, a pre-physiology sophomore and the executive board member on the pandemic and epidemic prevention team for SHAC . “I remember last year … everybody was using Safe Ride to go to parties on weeknights,” Brussels said. “I figured that would be a prime opportunity and a prime target audience to hit [students] with some messages about sexual health and provide free condoms to hopefully cut back on sexually transmitted diseases.” The program will be facilitated

Career Days Campus Pantry preps for October distribution offer students opportunities

BY MEGGIE KESSLER

You can make a connection right now with a company you’re particularly interested in.

The Daily Wildcat The UA Campus Pantry will provide free food and toiletries next week to UA community members dealing with economic instability. The pantry will be open for its second distribution of the semester Oct. 4, from 2 to 6 p.m., in the main conference room of the El Portal building. Students, faculty and staff need to present their CatCards to use the UA Campus Pantry’s services. The pantry is a confidential service to aid students, faculty and staff by giving them a resource to fight hunger insecurity, said Davis Bauer, co-founder of the UA Campus Pantry and a marketing senior. It is a national issue at universities due to the rising cost of tuition, he added. “It can be tough financially on the students to combat the prices of feeding themselves,” Bauer said, “so that’s where the UA Campus Pantry comes in.” The UA Campus Pantry began as an idea among UA students and staff in late 2011, according to Michelle Sun, adviser to the UA Campus Pantry and community director for Residence Life.

THE UA CAMPUS PANTRY BOARD organizes donated goods before the Feb. 1 opening. UA Campus Pantry is an emergency food pantry available for those in need within the UA Community.

Students can network with almost 200 companies in the Student Union Memorial Center today. Career Services kicked off its annual UA Fall Career Days on Tuesday afternoon in the student union Grand Ballroom. The career fair will continue today from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. The event features 181 companies looking for interns and employees of all ages and majors. The companies represent 34 states, with 62 percent of potential employers located outside of Arizona. Some companies are specifically interested in business or technology students, while others, such as AT&T, are open to any major. The tables in the ballroom are colorcoded to show which companies are looking for which type of student.

Susan Miller-Pinhey, marketing and special events manager for Career Services, said the event has been held for at least 25 years, with new companies participating each year. This year, there are 22 new companies in attendance. The event is a huge opportunity — not just for graduating seniors, but also for underclassmen, Miller-Pinhey said. It can also be overwhelming, so it’s important for students to familiarize themselves with the career fair environment. Career Services recommends students dress professionally and bring copies of their resume for potential employers, but neither is required. Miller-Pinhey said it’s never too early to start making connections, and strongly encouraged underclassmen to attend. “You can make a
