Weekly Update, Jan. 10

The final Math Fast Track data for the first term of 18 students shows eight students moved up one course test placement, seven moved up two placements, and three students moved up three test placements. The improved math test placements saved the 18 students a total of $2,659.50 and 13 terms! (thank you to Justeen Malosh in IR for her math skills)


The Career Center launched enhanced student employment job search software to help students connect with potential employers. “Career Connections” allows students to create a profile from which they can post resumes, search job listings and internships, view employer information, save favorite employers, schedule job workshops through their Google calendar and more. Employers post their positions directly to site, and can search the database using key words to help them find potential employees from our students and alumni. Faculty and staff are asked to direct students to the service, as well as employers who would like to hire our students. Find Career Connections at www.linnbenton.edu/current-students/work/career-services/career-center.
