'87 senior workshops revamped
By Rob Evans
Staff Writer
CSUFs Career Development and
Employee Service recently made changes in
its workshop presentation policy to
streamline the program and free counselors
for other projects, according to counselor
Vicki HeUenas.
The CDES  workshops  are  aimed  at
helping  CSUF  graduating   seniors  secure
jobs. The workshops cover three areas -
orientation, resume writing and interviewing
techniques. In previous years, all three areas
were taught in separate workshops,
approximately 250 per year. Changes
implemented this semester allow all areas to
be covered in single two-hour workshops.
Now, HeUenas said, the eight-member
CDES staff will have "more time for
students."
HeUenas said more than 3,000 letters were
sent   to   seniors,   informing   them   of  the
change in policy. "We have the workshops
scheduled early in the semester to get the
seniors thinking about us," HeUenas said.
Deneen Cox, a graduating senior studying
journalism attended a recent CDES workshop
and found the program helpful in some ways,
but said it should be open to juniors as well.
The workshops start after many seniors are
already searching for jobs. Cox said. "I had
already written a lot of resumes and done a
lot of interviews before I went (to the
workshop)."
Cox added that the CDES office is a
good place to go if a person runs into trouble
during a job hunt. "They make you feel
better about it," Cox said.
HeUenas stressed that CDES is not there
exclusively for«^seniors. "While the
workshops are designed for seniors, we have
resourses for all students," she said.
The CDES office maintains a resourse
liwary that includes resume writing
information and job interview techniques, as
well more information on workshops.
Faculty improve US-Mexican ties
By Ton Hurrianko
Staff Wrier
Six CSUF professors recently
travelled to Mexico to exchange ideas
with faculty from several' Mexican
universities.
The conference, held Jan. 13 to 16,
was designed to increase the amount of
information shared between universities
in die United States and Mexico,
according to Dr. Manuel Figueroa,
coordinator of the CSUF Chicano-Latino
Studies program.
. Also participating in the conference
were professors from the universities of
Davis, Berkeley and Spain.
"Our goal is to increase the links
between us and the Mexican institutions
and through joint research work on
common probelms," Figueroa said.
The main focus of the conference
centered on rural issues, according to
Figueroa Rural reform, agricultural
production, migrant farmworkers, rural
education issues and pesticides were
among die topics discussed and written
about.
"We are hoping that by sharing
information and opening up lines of
communication we can solve some of
these problems that know no
international boundaries," Figueroa said.
Up until the conference, there has
been no formal sharing of information
between U.S. and Mexican universities,
according to Figueroa.
CSUF has no formal exchange
program of students with universities in
Mexico, but that may change because of
the conference, according to Figueroa.
"We were able " to increase
relationships which will benefit the
areas of research and may lead to a
formal exchange program,", said
Figueroa.
•According to Figueroa, the conference
was very well organized and members
from Fresno were "treated very well,"
About 150 papers that were written at
the conference will be available in the
Henry Madden Library for distribution
in the near future, according «o
Figueroa.
