After the Disaster: Long-Term Outlooks for Mexico and Puerto Rico Reminder – Wednesday January 24th at 4pm in GISB 0001
After the Disaster: Long-Term Outlooks for Mexico and Puerto Rico, a roundtable discussion presented by CLACS and De Pueblo a Pueblo Fund Drive, Wednesday January 24th at 4pm in GISB 0001.
Months after hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, creating a vast path of destruction across the island and coinciding almost the day with a series of major earthquakes in central and southern Mexico leaving millions of people without homes, there is a need for reflecting on the long term consequences of natural disasters like these, and the ways they affect communities and their relation to the state and NGO relief efforts. The roundtable will spotlight grassroots relief efforts that have played an increasingly significant role in rebuilding these devastated communities, including the De Pueblo a Pueblo fund drive, an initiative spearheaded by members of the IU community.

Peace Corps Prep Program Workshop 1/25/18
Paid Summer Research Opportunity at Georgia Tech — Aquatic Chemical Ecology (ACE)
Program website: http://www.biology.gatech.edu/undergrad/reu
The application deadline is February 15, 2018. The full-time, 10-week program will start May 21 and run until July 27. Participants will receive a stipend of $5000 plus accommodations with kitchen facilities in university housing, and help with travel expenses to and from Atlanta.
Students can go to our website for more information and to apply. Any U.S. citizen or permanent resident who is currently enrolled in an undergraduate degree program is eligible, unless they have already been part of an NSF-REU program in Ocean Sciences or unless they will graduate before this summer.
Our research theme of Aquatic Chemical Ecology is broadly interpreted. We have 3 core areas of research for students to choose from: Biological and geochemical transformations of chemicals in aquatic ecosystems; Sensory biology and ecology of aquatic chemical communication; Ecological roles and consequences of chemicals in aquatic environments. We have a particularly strong core of faculty focused on microbial systems. This program is an excellent choice for undergraduates majoring in any field of biology, chemistry, earth/ocean science, civil engineering, environmental engineering, chemical engineering, and related bioengineering areas who want to apply their classroom learning to an interdisciplinary research environment to solve complex scientific problems and learn about the importance of chemically-mediated processes.
Sincerely,

The Hutton Honors College presents the
Annual IUB Undergraduate Research Symposium and Poster Fair
Saturday, April 14, 2018
https://symposium.hutton.indiana.edu
The Hutton Honors College invites all IU undergraduates from any discipline to participate in the annual Research Symposium and Poster Fair! This is a great opportunity to let others see the valuable work you have accomplished, and to see what other students in a variety of fields are exploring here at IU. It is also a great chance for you to perfect your presentation skills and receive valuable feedback from faculty and interested colleagues. Don’t miss this opportunity for professional experience!
Whether you choose to present a paper or a poster, or would like to participate in both events, we welcome one page abstracts by Sunday, February 25, 2018.
Visit https://symposium.hutton.indiana.edu to submit your online application today!
The Hutton Honors College will hold workshops for students who would like to know more about paper or poster presentations prior to the event.
Students are encouraged to present on work that is not yet complete. If you are writing a paper for a class, or conducting research for your thesis or a lab project, present your work and learn from the feedback you receive before you complete your project. Presenting will help guide your thinking as you work toward completion. Students are not asked to submit the final paper, just an abstract.
We look forward to hearing from you, and more importantly, to seeing the results of your efforts!

LING-L 214 Animal Communication will be offered FALL 2018
Dear Animal Behavior Majors,
I’d like to bring the following fall course offering to your attention:
Animal Communication
LING-L 214 — FALL 2018. This course deals with the communication systems of non-human animals, addressing them both on their own terms and in comparison with the major communication system of human animals–Language. The primary focus will be on communication in bees, birds, mice, and primates, though we will also consider other creatures. From the various perspectives of biology, psychology, and linguistics, we will consider what animals might (be able to) communicate about and how they do it in the wild vs. in contact with humans. Considerable attention will be devoted to evaluating research studies designed to teach human language to non-human primates. By taking an interdisciplinary approach, we will gain a richer understanding of the limits of animals’ communication and cognition abilities, as well as how humans can effectively interact with them. This course counts toward fulfillment of the S&H Breadth of Inquiry requirement.
Indiana Canine Assistant Network (ICAN) Callout Meeting–Thursday 1/18 @ 7pm!
About ICAN: The Indiana Canine Assistant Network (ICAN) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded in 2001 that utilizes multiple prisons in the state of Indiana to train service dogs. These service dogs are then carefully paired with an individual living with a disability, ensuring their personality types and needs match up.
About ICAN at IU: We are a group of students with a mission to educate, fundraise and volunteer with ICAN. Our goal is to spread awareness on campus and within the Bloomington Community, as many individuals do not know basic service dog etiquette or about how the process in general works.
- Low Time Commitment: General members meet once per month for less than an hour with the goal to learn more about general service dog topics. So far, we have discussed how staring at service dogs is just as distracting as petting one and the difference between Emotional Support Animals, Therapy Dogs, and Service Dogs.
- Volunteer Opportunities: ICAN at IU provides our members with opportunities to go out into the community and help educate the public. We’ve attended an ICAN event and had volunteers working the Kelley School of Business destress event and plan to visit local elementary schools and nursing homes this semester!
- Leadership Positions: ICAN at IU offers tons of opportunities to hold a leadership role. We have several committees and executive positions in a variety of topics!
