Well as the clock winds down on 2010, I just wanted to offer a Year in Review roundup of things that we did this year and a Look Forward to the things we hope to accomplish with this blog in 2011:
1. We are up and running! This blog started as a means for communicating job announcements, internships and other information of interest to the Spelman College community from the alumnae in the Washington DC Area. And that is still our purpose, with a few tweaks to the format and objectives since this summer. We hope that as you continue your search for opportunities in the New Year, you have bookmarked this site for updates.
2. The search for jobs and internships in 2011 starts NOW! We anticipate that there will be a lot of activity in the next few weeks as internship opportunities become available for the spring and summer. And in a few weeks we hope to post some other career information that may be helpful to you such as well.
3. Not just for Spelman students, this blog is geared towards the entire Spelman community of students, recent graduates and seasoned alumnae. As we get job announcements that are of interest to specific populations, we tag them so that you can determine which opportunities are best for you.
4. Join us on Facebook at the DC Spelman Alumnae-Student Connection. We want to use that space to actually connect alumnae and students of similar interests. There are many alumnae already signed up who want to connect with students to serve as mentors, so all we need are more students to join us.
5. Upcoming events and opportunities in 2011 - Another Spring Break Mixer, the Glee Club and Jazz Ensemble Tours, the Joint MD-DC Founders Day, Reunion and Graduation, the New Student BBQ, and Homecoming 2011. Whew!
So, please check us out in 2011! Alumnae, remember to send job and internship announcements my way at SpelmanDCRecruitment@yahoo.com. Students and recent grads, be sure to check this blog weekly for updates. And to the entire Spelman Community, we hope to offer something for everyone so bookmark us. Happy New Year!

INROADS Career Manager
Dear INROADS Alumni:
Please share the following job specification with your networks, and thank you for assisting us in sourcing candidates for this role. Your time is greatly appreciated.
POSITION SPECIFICATION
Manager, Southeast Region
Motivated by the Martin Luther King’s March on Washington Speech, INROADS founder, Frank Carr, left a successful career in industry to begin an organization that would transform the lives of talented minority students by giving them access to positions in corporate America. With the mission of developing and placing talented minority youth in business and industry and preparing them for corporate and community leadership, Carr set out to create a national organization that would achieve the dream of equality that King laid out. Over the forty years since its founding, INROADS has identified, trained and developed talented high potential students in internships in some of North America’s leading corporations and is the nation’s largest non-profit source of paid internships for diverse, high performing undergraduate students. Companies partner with INROADS to increase their access to high quality diverse entry-level talent. The INROADS process of selection and training is designed to take raw student talent and make them more competitive and more likely to succeed long term. That has been the INROADS point of difference in the market.
INROADS tries to create unique, one-on-one relationships with each Intern so that the intern is matched with a company where there will be a long term fit. By providing the skills, relationships, and network needed, INROADS works to transform the intern’s potential so that they can be leaders not only for corporate environments, but also for their communities and the world at large. INROADS recruits only the best students of color for pre-professional internship opportunities. Students who apply must have and maintain a B or better average, as well as, intentions to pursue careers in business, accounting, actuarial science, engineering, computer and information sciences, sales, marketing, allied health, healthcare management or retail store management.
Since its inception in Chicago in 1970, INROADS has grown from 25 Interns and 17 sponsoring corporations, to an international organization with 40 offices across North America. The staff provides ongoing support and career training and guidance to more than 2,300 Interns sponsored by over 200 companies. The longevity of INROADS and the partnership it has with premier companies demonstrates the organization’s continued importance and relevance.
Today there are nearly 25,000 INROADS alumni. While half of them have been in the business world for less than 10 years, the early alumni have achieved great success. Steven Davis, Chairman and CEO of Bob Evans, Lou Nieto, past President, ConAgra Refrigerated Foods Group (retired), Willard S. Evans Jr., President, Peoples Gas Light and Coke Company and North Shore Gas Company, Connie Lindsey, Head, Corporate Social Responsibility, The Northern Trust Company, Lisa M.

Scholarship Opportunity for Women in Computer Science
(This is also for alumnae to pass along to eligible high school or community college students.)
Scholarship Opportunity: African American Women in Computer Science
Dr. Jason Black is the Principal Investigator of a recently awarded $552,000 NSF Grant entitled African-American Women in Computer Science. The grant provides scholarships from $4000 to $10,000 per year for female African American students. We need your help to get the word out about this great opportunity to build back up the enrollment of women in the CIS Department. Pass this information along to high school or community college students, their parents, and to guidance counselors you may know.
The AAWCS program begins operation on July 1 and will run until June 30, 2012. For more information about the program and applications for the program can be requested by contacting Dr. Black (email), or by telephone at (850) 412-7354.
CIS Program Seeks to Resolve the Digital Divide Between African-American Women with New Grant
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The Florida A&M University (FAMU) Computer Information Sciences (CIS) Program, housed in the College of Arts and Sciences, is the recipient of a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant valued at $552,000 dedicated to recruiting minority women to computer science and information technology disciplines.
"The numbers are staggering," said Jason T. Black, Ph.D., assistant professor in CIS. "The latest data shows that out of all US entering freshmen declaring a major in computer science, African-American women made up only 3.3 percent. The fact is that women are not choosing technology, and this is a dangerous predicament. When you couple that with the fact that it is estimated that 75 percent of all jobs by the year 2020 will require a technology background, it becomes a crisis call."
The program, entitled African-American Women in Computer Science (AAWCS), is a four-year program that provides scholarships and other assistance to women who express a financial need and an interest in computer science or information technology.
AAWCS, created by Black, also the principal investigator for the program, and Edward L. Jones, Ph D., chair of the CIS program, will directly address the dismal number of minority women, particularly African-American women that pursue degrees in computer science or information technology.
Women who apply to AAWCS will be accepted based on financial need, and will be awarded a scholarship of between $3,000 and $5,000 per semester. In addition to the funding, the women will participate in CIS departmental clubs and organizations, such as the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Club, the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), and the CIS Mentoring Organization (CISMO). AAWCS scholars will also be involved in other STEM programs, such as the Florida/Georgia Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (FGLSAMP) scholarship program, and the Students and Technology in Academia, Research and Service (STARS) Alliance, both NSF-funded programs.
An added benefit to the students is the conference participation, where selected AAWCS scholars will be chosen to attend two national conferences, paid for by the grant, each year, such as the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing and the National Conference of Women in Information Technology (NCWIT).
The AAWCS program begins operation on July 1 and will run until June 30, 2012. Applications for the program can be requested by contacting Black (email) or by telephone (850) 412-7354 (850) 412-7354.

Letting Go - For Parents
The purpose of this blog is to provide information for the Spelman Community, which includes new students, current students, recent and seasoned alumnae, and PARENTS of Spelman students. So this entry is aimed at those parents who are about to experience empty nest.
Saw this at Huffington Post. It is a two-part article, so be sure to access both links:

This past weekend I attended the New Student Tea sponsored by the Northern New Jersey NAASC chapter and one of the discussions with the parents included how to let go. Some of the parents were very emotional, so hopefully the information in this article will be helpful. No, it won't make the emotions go away, but perhaps it will put everything into perspective.

NUL Convention and Youth Summit
The National Urban League will commemorate 100 years this week from July 28th to July 31st! In addition to a College Fair this Saturday from 12:30 to 4pm at the Washington Convention Center, this Youth Summit is also taking place this Saturday and they are looking for volunteers. We can't attach the volunteer document, but for more information, the contact person is listed at the bottom of the message.
Dear Colleagues,
As a part of its Centennial Conference this July in Washington, DC, the Urban League's Education and Youth Development Division will host a Youth Summit that will bring together 400 youth (ages 13-19) around the country for a week of activities centered on academic skill building and college preparation. I am organizing a Luncheon (with Sonia Sanchez as the featured speaker) that will give the 400 youth the opportunity to meet, engage, and receive advice from 100 black advanced degree-holding professionals from a variety of fields. Currently, I am still seeking volunteers.
I have attached a Call for Volunteers that has more information. For those of you in the DC area (or those who will be on Saturday, July 31st), I'd love for your participation, as I'm sure each and every one of you would be wonderful mentors with impactful advice to impart. For those of you who will be elsewhere, if you know any networks of professionals or have any individuals in mind, would you please forward this along? We are particularly short on people in the humanities, including Africana, but all fields are welcome. (Doctoral students, entrepreneurs, and Fine Arts specialists are welcome, as well.) I should also add that, like many organizations for the cause, we are operating under a budget; volunteers, therefore, must be willing to serve on a pro bono basis.
I truly appreciate your help with this. This is shaping up to be a truly significant and important event, and I am committed to making it a success with the help of like-minded folks who can impart not only professional advice, but the pearls of wisdom that come from the legacy of struggle that we have come to know all too well from our studies and, more importantly, our lived experiences.
In solidarity,

NYT article - Unpaid Internships Illegal?
Saw this and thought it was worth posting for your consideration.
Growth of Unpaid Internships May be Illegal
In the old days, most unpaid internships were offered by nonprofits, but apparently times have changed...but then again, times are hard and the experience and contacts gained through an unpaid internship might be invaluable.
My advice--negotiate with your employer for academic credit or split your summer between a paying job and the unpaid internship (something that many law students do during their summers). Whatever you do, remember the purpose of the internship is exposure to your field of interest, so don't allow yourself to be exploited.
