The President of Shell Oil Company (John Hofmeister) is coming to UD this Weds, May 7 as part of the Global Agenda series.
Gasoline prices.
The price of oil topping $120.
Oil company profits dramatically up.
Nigeria (and Shell’s treatment of African workers).
And, of course, the whole climate change/carbon emissions set of issues.
Just about anything anyone could imagine to appeal to students who have a chance to ask questions of the president of an oil company.
These issues should appeal to an incredibly broad swath of students and faculty, from engineers and chemists to Business majors.
When: Wednesday May 7
Time: 7:30 pm.
Where: Mitchell Hall

Internship Opportunities
JP Morgan Chase (link)
JPMorgan Chase representatives will be on University of Delaware's campus on February 13th to speak about business internships.
pecifically, they will be speaking about our Operations and Management Services (OMS) Summer Analyst Program and the Summer Analyst Program in Finance, for both of which they have on-campus interviews scheduled. Both of these internship programs are geared toward current juniors, as well as some sophomores, because of the great position the internships put you in to receive a full-time offer with JPMorgan Chase in Delaware.
The program starts at 6:00 pm in the Kirkland Room, Perkins Student Center, and there will be a networking reception after the short presentations. Please also note that refreshments will be served.
Legislative Fellows Program (link)
Applications are now being accepted for the 2009 Legislative Fellows Program! The program is open to the University's full-time graduate students and senior-level undergraduate students.
The Legislative Fellows Program provides students with an opportunity to observe and contribute to the political decision-making process. The program links the research capacity of the University of Delaware with the research needs of the Delaware General Assembly. Through their non-partisan, in-depth research, Fellows assist legislators in dealing with complex public policy issues facing the state. Since its inception, nearly 200 individuals have participated in the program.
Fellows are selected through a competitive process and work in Dover for 20 hours per week during the entire legislative session (January 2 - June 30, 2009). They receive a stipend comparable to that of a graduate research assistantship, earn about $19/hour, and travel to Dover in University vehicles. Fellows also participate in the graduate seminar State Government Management and Policy (UAPP/POSC 687).
Students interested in politics, public policy, economics, planning, land use, geography, business, energy/environmental issues, public administration, political science, economic development, leadership studies, sociology, history, education or family/community services may find this experience particularly relevant for their long-range professional goals.
Information sessions describing the Legislative Fellows Program will be held in 185 Graham Hall on March 12 from 11-11:30 a.m. and 1:30-2 p.m. Interested students may RSVP to Shelley Cook at Shelley@udel.edu. The deadline for submitting applications is April 9, 2008.
Please visit our website at www.ipa.udel.edu/legfellows to find out more about the program and meet our current Fellows and alumni. I have attached a detailed 2009 Legislative Fellows fact sheet with this message, and I would be happy to speak with you about the program.Let me know if I can answer any other questions. I look forward to hearing from you!
