The air in the UNI-Dome was electrifying Saturday afternoon when Northern Iowa upset seventh ranked Eastern Washington, 38-35, this past weekend. Each team was hungry for their first win of the season, intensifying the game that much more. Eastern Washington had a big drive and finished it off with an 18-yard pass to Cooper Kupp, for an early start of 0-7. This remained the score throughout the rest of the first quarter. UNI then answered back with a successful read-option game
between Aaron Bailey and Darrian Miller. Both players ran the ball hard and the Panthers began marching down the field with Tyvis Smith who finished it off with a one-yard carry into the end zone. Bailey and Miller dominated the ground game for the Panthers, with a combined 263 yards rushing in the game (151 yards for Bailey and 112 from Miller). The Hawks then found themselves on the 27-yard line and retaliated quickly as they tossed a deep pass to Kupp again for a 73-yard touchdown. Down 14-7, the Panthers offense started to rock and roll. UNI opened the next

“1984” in 2015
KATHERINE JAMTGAARD Staff Writer
Literature has much to teach businesses about ethics, which is exactly what one lecture series aims to do. Thursday, Sept. 17, Dr. James Lang, professor of English and director of the center for teaching excellence at Assumption College in Massachusetts, will be appearing as the keynote speaker at the Ethics in Higher Education conference. He will be delivering a lecture about George Orwell’s novel, “1984” entitled, “The Poor of ‘1984’: The Roots of George Orwell’s Final Novel.” According to Craig VanSandt, associate professor, and David W. Wilson, chair in business ethics, Lang was chosen “because he wrote a book called Cheating Lessons,” and that “[Lang] mentioned that he’s writing this new book about Orwell, and as he

Jay Leno brings laughs to GBPAC COLIN MATTOX Staff Writer
Jay Leno, the former host of “The Tonight Show,” performed at the Gallagher Bluedorn Center for Performing Arts on Saturday, Sept. 12. After hosting the famous NBC talk show for over 20 years, Leno made a special appearance in Cedar Falls for a night of standup comedy and storytelling. “What’s special about this show is that it’s Jay Leno’s return to standup comedy, which is how he got his start,” says Blake Argotsinger, the
Associate Marketing Manager at Gallagher. “He hasn’t toured a comedy act like this since before he started hosting ‘The Tonight Show.’ The show [featured] something that most people don’t think of when they think Jay Leno. There [were] a lot of stories about when he was growing up.” The show Saturday was sold out, with over 1,600 tickets sold. Tickets went on sale to the public in June and sold quickly. According to See LENO, page 4

talked about what he was doing it seemed to make sense to sponsor that as the chair of business ethics.” The Poor of “1984”: The Roots of George Orwell’s Final Novel lecture will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. in Seerley Hall on Thursday. The Ethics Conference will follow on Friday, Sept. 18 in Maucker Union. VanSandt explained how Orwell’s “1984” dealt with themes of “business and capitalism as a system that created oppression of the poor.” Most commonly, “1984” is interpreted as a work that criticizes communism, but VanSandt said, “Most of the readers have interpreted Orwell’s work as criticisms

of communism and power of the state, and that certainly can be read into it, but Doctor Lang’s contention is that Orwell was talking more about big business and capitalism than he was communism.” With this in mind, VanSandt began to think of how business plays a big part in society and how Lang’s lecture would be a “good

way to get people thinking about the inequality of wealth and the inequality of the economy that we see in the United States today and what role capitalism has to play in that.” The Ethics Conference, which was started in 2013 with the theme of Ethics in Organizations, is held once every two years. The main sponsor of the conference is the Center for Academic Ethics, headed by Anita Gordon. VanSandt discussed certain points of why this conference is important. “One: to help tie business and business education to the liberal arts. Dr. Lang is a professor of English, “ said VanSandt. “He’s using a well-known literary piece as his basis for critique. But it certainly affects business

VOLUME 112, ISSUE 05 and the economy very well. The second reason I think it’s important is just to get people thinking about what we want from our business sector,” said VanSandt. “So far, basically what we’ve told business to do is make as much money as possible, we’re seeing that that but itself leads to a lot of problems, and so if we can start thinking about adding things onto business’s plate like ‘make money but do it ethically and do it without harming the environment,’ and those kinds of things.” Though he doesn’t see the conference getting bigger in future years, VanSandt sees it opening to more offcampus participants, hoping to see involvement of the business community of Cedar Falls, Waterloo and the surrounding area. “It is important to serve the needs of students and faculty and staff,” said VanSandt, “but as a state supported university we should also be doing things that citizens of the state of Iowa are vitally interested in and could benefit from us talking about.” VanSandt hopes that students realize that there is more to just remembering something only to get a good grade on a test or an assignment. “There’s more to it than that,” said VanSandt. “It’s not only what you learn of the material for that test, but it’s also how do I approach learning, because everybody’s going to have to continue to learn all the time. And if you cheat on learning in college then you’re less well-equipped to learn what you need to learn when you’re working.”
Hillary Clinton to visit UNI
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will make an appearance in Cedar Falls on Monday, Sept. 14. Clinton will appear at both UNI and Luther College, according to the Waterloo Cedar Falls Courier. Clinton’s visit to Cedar Falls will be her second since she announced her campaign for the 2016 presidential election this past April. Clinton will be in the Maucker Union Central Ballroom at 11:30 a.m. with doors opening at 10:30 a.m. She will then travel to Decorah to speak at Luther College at 3:30 p.m. in Luther’s Center for Fine Arts Atrium. Doors for this will open at 2:30 p.m., reports the Courier. Women for Hillary, an organization made up of grassroots supporters, planned both events. According to a campaign release about the events, Clinton is expected to discuss key issues facing young women. Specifics were not given. A reservation is preferred, but not required. People can RSVP for the events online at www.hillaryclinton.com/ events/. Both events are open to the public.

Roundabouts: The crisis of our times If any of you follow local politics, and God bless your sanity if you do, you’ll know that the biggest threat to Cedar Falls is roundabouts. Perhaps you’re thinking to yourself, “those roundabouts?” Yes, those ones. Apparently, I assume, by having roundabouts instead of standard four way stops on University the following things will happen: all the lefty liberals (i.e. socialists, OK Communists) will win, the terrorists will win, every car on University will simultaneously crash into each other at once causing everyone in the city to die— even those safely at home— and commerce will come to a complete standstill because no one, not one single person, will be fearless enough to take on these monstrosities of modern life.

NextGen Climate Iowa taps Dropping course ‘tool to be used carefully,’ not shameful into sustainability trend Consumers care about sustainability. Local markets and organic options are arriving in Cedar Falls and across the nation. It might just seem like the latest fad in consumer habits, but sustainability is truly gaining traction. As a public relations major, I analyze what organizations need to do to positively relate to their audiences. I have found that, more often than not, the public is concerned about a company’s plan for clean and sustainable practices. Sustainability concerns and solutions can be seen throughout the state. As an intern at the Iowa Waste Reduction Center (IWRC), I have noticed substantial sustainability efforts from Iowans. Not only does the IWRC offer environmental assistance to small businesses in Iowa but they also provide online resources that can be used by anyone. Businesses have a lot to gain from “going green.” For a business or organization, the benefits of practicing sustainability goes beyond the money
they save. Going green assists them in creating a positive image with the public. The companies that will gain recognition and make an impact are the ones that will stand up with a cause that Iowans care about. The plan introduced by NextGen Climate Iowa strives to power America with more than 50 percent clean and carbon-free energy by 2030. Spreading the word about NextGen’s plan is the first step in changing the way Americans use energy. Reducing waste, conserving energy and water, and recycling can make a difference. It’s about changing the mindset of the consumer by making sustainability the norm and supporting 50 by 30 is a great start. The trend of sustainability appears to be more than a fad, it’s becoming a lifestyle. Supporting sustainability makes sense for businesses, companies and consumers. -Mallory Feeney, junior communicationss/ public relations major
It has been said that not every piece of advice is created equally. An argument was made that essentially boiled down to “students should never drop a class for any reason, and they will see the benefits of that struggle pay off in due time.” However, as a student who has both served and been an active participant over the last four years within this university, I know how imperative it is to point out the other side of this issue. Columnist Moeller unfairly implied that in some way it is a shameful act to drop one of your classes, when in all actuality it should be looked at as something more like a tool to be used carefully. One of the most important things that this article overlooks is that it misses out on what may be one of the most fundamental things that you learn about in college, and that is yourself. Over the four to five years you are here we learn how we best operate, things like
what teachers are going to help enable our learning, or the kinds of environments that truly engage us. We all operate individually, and to throw everyone into a box and just say that they will all come out with the same benefits from sticking through an extremely challenging class is a very misleading and dangerous proposition. The people who are going to be taking this kind of advice seriously are going to be the younger members of our university, most likely freshmen in college such as my younger brother. It is this kind of advice that I would strongly caution him from taking. You see, we should be showing those who come after us the resources to take advantage of, not scaring them away from it. -Barry Schintler, senior public administration: human services major

Argotsinger, older comedy lovers are not the only ones who were thrilled to see Leno. “As far as demographics for the tickets holders go, quite a few of them are older, but there are also a lot of younger people attending,” said Argotsinger. “His influence is so huge, and he hosted a late night show for so long that our show here has attracted people of all generations.” Gallagher Bluedorn has been seeking out larger acts for the venue’s artist series, with the hope that more students will attend. The idea is that if students react to big name acts like Leno, they may also come to appreciate the smaller acts that come through the theatre every year. Daniel Pfaltzgraff, senior English education major, appreciates the GBPAC’s efforts in bringing big names to the community. “I think it’s great for UNI and the community,” said Pfaltzgraff. “These artists draw more people into the area and help put Cedar Falls on the map.” While attendance among the student population is small, that doesn’t necessarily mean that students aren’t paying attention to Leno’s performance. “I remember watching “The Tonight Show” all the time when he was hosting,” recalls junior criminology major Zach Thomsen. “I thought he was hilarious.”

Jay Leno started hosting “The Tonight Show” in 1992. Prior to succeeding Johnny Carson on the show, he made his mark in standup comedy and in some small acting roles. Towards the end of his run on “The Tonight Show,” it was revealed that Leno had been doing standup in a club in Los Angeles every Thursday throughout his time on the show. Leno stopped hosting “The Tonight Show” in March of 2014 with Jimmy Fallon taking over. Since then, he has been touring his comedy act around the country and Canada, as well as performing for members of the armed forces at USO shows. There is a big difference between the desk that Leno usually sat behind and being alone on a stage with only a stool and a microphone, but 1,617 people were excited about his return to traditional comedy. Allie Kroeger, senior elementary education major, enjoyed what Leno brought to the table. “I thought Jay Leno provided a nice variety of comedy bits to appeal to everyone in the audience,” said Kroeger. “He did a great job of reading his audience, adjusting the type of humor he was targeting to get as many people laughing as possible and making it an enjoyable experience for all.” “I was surprised at how personable and laid back Leno was,” said Pfaltzgraff. “It felt more like a conversation than a comedy show. […] He had the same comedic style he possessed while on ‘The Tonight Show.’”

The Old Central Ballroom was packed full of students wanting to hear from Comedian “Dating Doctor” David Coleman. Coleman lives by the motto, “Where is it said that learning can’t be fun and entertainment can’t be lifechanging?” Coleman’s goals for his shows are to make sure they are packed full with knowledge, interaction and laughter so students can walk out of the room and feel like part of their lives are changed for the better. “I love it for the feedback I get and to change lives for the better,” said Coleman. “Eighty percent of the crowd will love my show, 10 percent will think ‘eh’ and the other 10 percent will think, ‘you’re an idiot.’” Coleman began the show by explaining his four rules and his philosophies.

A classic still relevant 40 years later KYLE REKEMEYER Copy Editor
First of all, if you don’t know the band Fleetwood Mac, shame on you. Second, if you’ve never heard their 1977 album “Rumours,” you’re missing out on one of the greatest accomplishments in music. Third, if you have heard songs from the album “Rumours,” but it was when “Glee” did that episode of covers, we cannot be friends. Ever. While making this album, the members of Fleetwood Mac were struggling with many personal problems; every band member was going through a separation. Christine McVie (keyboardist/vocalist) and John McVie (bassist) were going through a divorce, Stevie Nicks (vocalist) and Lindsey Buckingham (guitarist/ vocalist) were breaking up and Mick Fleetwood (drummer) was getting a divorce from his wife as well. With all of the rumors starting to circulate in the press about the band, it was only fitting that the title to the new album be “Rumours.” Amazingly, it was the personal tragedies, as well as truckloads of
cocaine (sometimes literally) and the determination to keep the band together that allowed for Fleetwood Mac to create one of the greatest albums ever recorded. It’s hard to pick out an album standout, considering this is an album consisted entirely of standout tracks. The opening track, “Second Hand News” is an upbeat tune driven by a fast-paced drum beat and a steady guitar lick, with lyrics reflecting about a lover having moved on from the narrator (most of the album reflects the diminishing relationships of the band members). The second track, “Dreams” slows down the pace, using simple chords and the albums best use of harmonies. Unlike most other songs on the album, “Dreams” has an optimistic view of an ending relationship: “Now there you go/you say you want your freedom/Well who am I to keep you down?” “Never Going Back Again” is the lightest song in tone on the album, with just Buckingham playing an acoustic guitar. The lyrics speak of a man who lost a love, yet has learned his lesson: “Been down one time/
been down two times/I’m never going back again.” A rarity for Buckingham, this song is not about Nicks. The same can’t be said about “Go Your Own Way,” which is considered one of rock n’ roll’s greatest songs written. The song has an instantly iconic drum and guitar riff, with the simplistic, yet incredibly powerful guitar solo to seal things together. The song mirrors “Dreams” in that it’s about letting a lover go, however, it’s not as positive: “Packin’ up/shackin’ up’s all you wanna do.” Knowing that this song was about her, Stevie Nicks wanted to literally murder Buckingham every night they performed this song. The Christine McVie song, “You Make Loving Fun” is about finding a person you’re so in love with, that that’s all you want to do. This song was written about the band’s lighting director, so Christine’s ex-husband had to play the bass to this song each night, knowing that this song was not about him. The song’s easy listening contrasts McVie’s slow, sentimental ballad, “Songbird,” showcasing McVie’s beauti-
ful piano skills, telling the story of finding a love that makes everything seem better than it was before (not all of the songs on this album are about separation). The songs on this album that sum up what Fleetwood Mac was going through at this time are, “Don’t Stop,” and “The Chain,” which is the only song of this era of Fleetwood Mac in which all members have songwriting credit. “Don’t Stop” is easily recognizable by it’s opening tack piano riff. The track is the most optimistic in its message: “Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow/Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here/ It’ll be better than before/ Yesterday’s gone.” Yes, dear reader, everything is going to be okay! Finally, “The Chain.” This song is pure brilliance. The song has the darkest tone on the album. The first half is comprised of a simple bass drum beat accompanied by Buckingham’s signature guitar tone and harmonies singing, “Listen to the wind blow/watch the sun rise.” The most recognizable part of this song is John McVie’s iconic bass line, acting as segue into the powerful sec-
ond half. This crescendos into a powerhouse musical showcase with Nicks, McVie and Buckingham blasting, “The chain will keep us together.” I don’t believe this is one of their greatest. I think it is their greatest song ever written, though it doesn’t get enough recognition. There are more songs on the album, such as “I Don’t Want to Know,” “Oh Daddy,” and “Gold Dust Woman.” But don’t let my lack discussing them imply that they are less important. They aren’t. All of the songs on the album are equally great for different reasons. “Rumours” gets acclaim as one of the greatest albums of all time, and rightfully so. Though the album is 40-years-old, it has aged better than most albums that were released five years ago. It is an album that absolutely has to be a part of any music lover’s collection, simply because of its iconic status. Through the cocaine and heartbreak, “Rumours” is a musical achievement that has yet to be matched.
Fresh food and friendly faces CLINTON OLSASKY Staff Writer
Considering the hectic schedules of many college students, it can be difficult to find the time to buy fresh produce and eat healthy. However, the College Hill Farmer’s Market provides a solution. Located on 2205 College Street, the market is a short walk from campus and is held every Thursday from 4-6 p.m. from June through October. “This is my favorite market, hands down,” said market vendor, Annette Rohlk. “The location is great, and it’s easy access for everyone.” The market’s convenient location is only matched by the selection of goods, all at a reasonable price. According to the College Hill Farmer’s Market Facebook page, the market offers an abundance of various products including: eggs, squash, carrots, cabbage, apples, beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, flowers, potatoes and even jewelry. “I like to get fresh food that’s grown locally,” said Cedar Falls resident, Elizjah Henry. “It’s a lot better than walking to the grocery store. […] I live on the Hill, and so it’s really convenient to be able to come here and get food at a very nice price, and then take it home and make something tasty with it.” Market vendor Tony Hershey, who specializes in growing approximately 18 kinds of garlic,
stressed the importance of eating locally. “Anytime you can buy from a local market instead of from a grocery store. It’s better, because you’re dealing with food that is fresher and hasn’t been shipped as far,” Hershey said. “So, when you’re dealing with a local produce, you’re dealing with a greener product.” Dylan Nielsen, graduate geography major at UNI, believes that attending and purchasing from the College Hill Farmer’s Market supports the local economy. “I come every week I can, because I like what these folks are doing,” said Nielsen. “They’re making either a supplementary or total income off of cool stuff and tasty food. It’s seasonal, it’s fresh and it’s supporting the local economy by using local ingredients and not depending so much on transportation and imports.” In addition, the College Hill Farmer’s Market offers a welcoming environment. “It’s got a hometown atmosphere,” said Dalaney Langel, the market’s marketing assistant, “and it’s a great way to get involved with your community. I’ve met a lot of different people just being part of the market every week.” The market features different promotions, such as last week’s salsa sample, that further showcases the home-grown food that the Cedar Falls area has to offer.

UNI shut outs, OT games continue over weekend ALFRED O’BRIEN
Sports Editor
This past weekend the Panther soccer team had another successful outing as they played the University of Illinois-Chicago and University of North Dakota. UNI first played UIC (2-4-2) on Friday in Chicago. Once again, a full game’s regulation time was not enough to settle the score as the Panthers forced a draw in overtime. This marks the fifth overtime match in a total of nine games so far this season. It was a defensive struggle throughout the game. However, UNI proved to be stouter as they defended 29 total shots from UIC. Goalkeeper Whitney Blunt was reliable as ever as she collected six saves in regulation. Blunt then added two more in the first minute of overtime, silencing the Flames late attack. Offensively, the Panthers only put 12 shots on against the Flames. However, they were much more accurate with seven of those shots on goal. Yesterday, UNI came back home to defend their turf against North Dakota (3-4-1). The weather was perfect as

drive with a 41-yard run by Bailey. Bailey then connected on a 32-yard pass to a fully covered Daurice Fountain in the corner of the end zone to tie it up. On the next possession, running back Michael Malloy finished off a wellexecuted drive catching a red zone touchdown pass for a Panther lead of 21-14 at halftime. After the third quarter and another tied score at 21 apiece, Sawyer Kollmorgen took over quarterback duties for the Panthers. Kollmorgen had a tremendous first drive marching the Panthers down the field and found Logan Cunningham in the end zone for a touchdown. Five minutes later, Michael Schmadeke hit an easy 23yard field goal. The Hawks were backed up on their own 16-yard line with their next possession when the Panther defense stepped up and changed the course of the game. On a quick pass towards the sideline, defensive back Deiondre’ Hall jumped the receiver’s route and intercepted the pass with nothing but green turf and end zone in front of him. The critical pick-six gave Hall and the Panthers a
the Panthers were firing on all cylinders this match. The first half remained scoreless, but it wasn’t long until UNI found the back of the net. In the 49th minute, senior defender Katie Witt capitalized on a penalty kick that gave her a second goal on the season. The game remained close with both sides able to set up shots. Witt stayed involved with the offense, as she was able to assist senior forward Maggie Riley. On an incoming free kick in the 69th minute, Riley was able to keep the play alive and score on a near post shot, her first goal of the season. The Flames tried to answer back in the next minute, but Blunt was there with another save in hand. Blunt remained sound defensively as she tacked on another save via penalty kick from UND in the final minutes. UNI was especially accurate in this game with 13 shots, 10 of which were on target. The Panthers also owned the corner kicks, sending in five compared to UND’s one kick. With three consecutive shutout games by UNI, now 5-2-3, they travel to Brookings to take on South Dakota State Sept. 18. commanding two possesion lead with five minutes left in the game. “The turning point was when Sawyer came in and put the momentum back on our side and then the interception by D-Hall was the kill shot,” Farley said. “That was the dagger and hurt them.” The Hawks scored one more time, but it was just a matter of letting the clock go after EWU used their last timeout. As the final seconds of play went by, Northern Iowa had come out on top. This was the first time since 2011 the Hawks have been 0-2, but each team fought hard. The coaching staff was just as proud seeing major improvements since week one, and Coach Farley said it was one of the biggest wins of his coaching career. Hall was awarded College Sports Madness National Defensive Player of the Week for his performance that afternoon with six total tackles, one pass breakup and the decisive 16-yard interception for a touchdown. After a close, hard fought win, the Panthers are back on track and prepare for this Saturday as they travel to Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo going head to head with the Mustangs.

Fighting hard, UNI fell to the Illinois-Chicago Flames on Saturday, Sept. 12. Going into another five-setter— UNI lost with scores of 20-25, 25-20, 25-21, 2325 and 9-15.

Career fair offers ‘sense of direction’ NICK FISHER
Exectuive Editor
More than 1,800 students will approach 190-plus employers Monday in hopes of finding that full-time job, internship or just getting their name out there. Career Services’ fall semester career fair, the first of two to take place throughout the school
year, will be from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the McLeod Center. “We just encourage all grade levels and different majors to come,” said Sarah Goblirsch, employee relations director for Career Services. “Take a look at the participants and see if there’s anything that interests you. They’re here for a reason. They’re taking time out of

their days and bringing people because they want to talk to students.” The 190-plus organizations present include large companies, small businesses, nonprofit organizations and graduate schools. Goblirsch said the career fair offers students a sense of direction. For underclassmen this comes through taking an inventory about the career opportunities out there for a given major — what the career prospects are for an English major, for example. She said that for upperclassmen the sense of direction could come in the form of comparing employer outlets in a given area. For instance, if the student knows they want to live in Des Moines they can weigh prospective Des Moines employers against each other to give them a sense of direction. “If I was going to tell a student one thing it’d be: ‘Just go and put yourself out there.’ [...] It’s not that scary,” said Matt Reitz, graduate accounting student and career guide for the fair. This is Reitz’s fourth career fair as a guide. He also attended as a first-semester freshman looking to get his

Reitz says that although professional conversations can be ‘scary,’ it’s important to put your self out there at the fair and make connections.
name out there. “It was intimidating,” Reitz said of his first career fair. “Somebody talked to me before and said there’s a lot of pressure to go in and come out with a job. But someone in [career services] told me you shouldn’t go into a career fair expecting to walk out with a job or internship, you should expect to make a lot of connections.” Goblirsh said Career Services offers a variety of opportunities to make those professional conversations with employers successful. These include walkup hours at Career Services in which students can consult career guides or professional staff with advice about making meaningful connections. Career Services also gives presentations to classrooms to aid students with this. “The business faculty invite us a lot, but we’ve been all over the place,” Goblirsh said. Goblirsh said sophomores and juniors should be looking for summer internships and seniors should be looking for a full-time job post-graduation in the summer. She stressed that the recruiting season for many of these summer positions is in the fall, but that it does depend on the industry. Jonathan West, transportation business partner with Target Distribution, said employers are looking for similar things. “We are looking for leaders who want to grow and develop in each role they are in,” West said. “It’s important to be able to set challenging goals for yourself and then to be able to create/execute a
strategy to reach those goals. This can lead to both a more engaged leader and a more engaged team.” West has been with Target Distribution for seven years, and has attended the UNI career fair for the last five. “It’s also a great opportunity to answer questions for students who may not yet know what they want in a career,” West said. “The career fair can be a great experience for those who already have career goals or for those who are trying to determine what their career might be after college.” Reitz and Goblirsh agree that the career fair is worth the time and the preparation, because you never know what could happen. Goblirsh said that a few years ago, a Career Services student volunteer was pushing around a water cart for those who were attending. She said an employer took notice of the student’s work ethic and said that if he was willing lug around a water cart for some 2,000 people he might be a good fit for the company. The student interned with that employer the following summer. Reitz said there will be some 30 student and career services volunteers to help guide you through the chaos. West said confidence in one’s skills and what one can offer an employer goes a long way in the eyes of employers. “It’s a lot harder to come back [once you graduate] and take advantage of these services, so utilize it while it’s just across campus at the McLeod Center,” Goblirsh said.

these students come from the Humanities, Arts and Sciences. “If you don’t even know what that end goal looks like, are you even sure that you want that goal?” Goblirsch said, indicating that students need to consider the facts about grad school to avoid hasty decision-making. Sometimes the workforce may be the better route for students. For example, if a student has a lot of debt or still hasn’t decided on what is the righ career path, they may want to enter the workforce over going to school. Goblirsch said she would suggest these students enter the workforce because it will allow them the opportunity to explore careers that they may have not considered before. She also adds that graduate school could always be an option later on. “Knowing if the thought of two or three years more of school makes you want to throw up , that might not be the best route. But, like I said, really talking to professionals in the field I think is so valuable to really see
what the current trends are within that specific industry,” Goblirsch said. Some students know that they want to continue their education. Once grad school is in their line of sight, students should look into deadlines and requirements to make sure they can get everything done in a timely manner. Goblirsch said while getting a B.A., students who plan on going to grad school should try to get experience within the field that they want to pursue. She said getting involved on campus, networking and grades are also important to grad school. Whether deciding to go into grad school or going
straight into the workforce after college, it is always best to talk to people in the field that the student is considering. Professionals can help students get an inside look into specific careers and whether schooling may be needed or something that could be considered further down the line. Goblirsch said it is easier for students to make the decision that is right for them with as much information as possible from staff and professionals in their field. “From the students that I have talked to after, as long as they have made the decision for the right reasons, they’ve been happy with it,” Goblirsch said.

Cover letters are a prime way of explaining to employers why you’re qualified for a position.
The “magic bullet” to writing a cover letter isn’t about telling a story, cracking a joke or even proofreading, though all of these are important if you can manage them. It is a connection: mentioning someone you have in common. However, we can’t all be fortunate enough to know someone at the business to which we are applying. So if you can’t mention a contact, what can you do? Info by Forbes.
1. Use an anecdote
®
At Terex, we don’t just help build bridges, buildings, roads, and cities...
we build careers.
Story telling adds a personal touch that may just get through to your potential employer.
2. Keep it simple
Your cover letter should be short, to the point and, ideally, less than one page long. No one wants to read a long cover letter, and the larger the business, the less attention your letter will probably receive.
3. Use formal language

It’s easy enough to say you’re qualified for a position, but it’s another thing to truly prove that you’re qualified. Give examples of how you perform qualities you’ve listed, or explain why you’re the perfect fit for a company. Writing about your leadership experience is much stronger than just saying that you’re a leader.
