Reminder Dear Juniors and Seniors,
We have partnered with Career Services to give our junior and senior majors access to Wildcat Joblink. Wildcat JobLink is a state-of-the-art career management tool, offering UA students access to jobs, internships, and a range of other services including campus interviewing and resume referrals.
To access JobLink, please visit the Career Services website at https:// www.career.arizona.edu/joblink. All you need is your NETID and password to login and take advantage of these great services.
Why is SGPP only funding juniors and seniors to have access to JobLink? The funding comes from SGPP Program Fees, which only our junior and senior majors pay. If you are a freshman or sophomore, you are welcome to register and pay the annual $5 fee out of pocket. Visit https://www.career.arizona.edu/joblink to register.
I will be a junior at the end of the current semester. When can I have access? SGPP will be requesting access for any students who have reached 60+ credits each semester after the census date (the 21st day of the semester). So, if you will have 60+ completed credits at the end of this semester, you will be granted access next semester after the census date. If you have any questions, please email ahackett@email.arizona.edu .

SGPP Student Spotlight
West Coast Model European Union During the weekend of February 11, 2017, I had the honor of being one of the four Wildcats selected to represent our University at the West Coast Model European Union in Seattle, Washington. Our team was led by Dr. Eva Maggi and over the course of two days, we had roles as EU member states in discussions regarding the Brexit and Eurobonds. The trip was a great experience for me, as I not only had the opportunity to travel to a new place, but I also got to put to use what I learned in the classroom. I had learned a lot about the EU when I took POL 452 last semester with Dr. Maggi, and it was rewarding to put that knowledge to work at this event. The most important thing that I came away from this conference with was a greater appreciation for the EU in general. It is easy to simplify a lot of the issues facing the EU and you sometimes wonder why everyone just can’t come up with a solution. But when you are in a room with almost 28 other students, who are each accurately representing their specific country’s interests, you realize how amazing it is that anything is accomplished at all. Being able to attend this year’s Model EU was certainly an eye opening experience to the complexities and intricacies of the EU. I’d specifically like to thank our team advisor, Dr. Eva Maggi, for all the time she put into training us and preparing us for the conference, as well as Claire Larkin and Tim Wilhelmi, members of last year’s Model EU team, who gave us much support and advice. I’d also like to give special attention to my fellow teammates, Morgan Cooper, Ryan Darling, and Christopher Grimes, who did such an awesome job. Last but not least, I’d like to thank the School of Government and Public Policy for making this awesome trip possible. Thank You, Timothy K. DesJarlais, senior studying Political Science with an emphasis in American Politics SGPP Undergraduate Newsletter Page 9
