The Haven Project will be hosting a Chalk the Walk event in the Oak Grove on Wednesday, September 20, from 4:00-7:00 P.M. This is in support of RAINN (Rape, Abuse, Incest National Network) Day, a national day designed to bring education and support regarding domestic and sexual violence. All materials will be provided.

The aim of the workshop is to give students a clear understanding of what sexual consent is and to facilitate conversations about consent.  

Students often wonder how to approach their professors and what sort of style to use when they e-mail, write a note, or speak in person. Formal? Casual? Polite? Direct? Urgent? Even brief communications require decisions about appropriate style. This workshop covers do's, don'ts, and tips for polite, professional, and effective communication with professors.

Bunraku master Martin Holman will give a lecture and demonstration of Japan's traditional form of puppetry.

Bunraku puppets typically stand four feet tall and are manipulated by two or three puppeteers. The plots for the plays can be very complex, usually focusing on the intrigues and romances of samurai and courtesans. Mr. Holman was one of the first Americans to be trained in this art form. The Bunraku Bay Puppet Theater that he founded performs in top venues around the United States.

All are welcome

The Haven Project will be taking part in RAINN (Rape, Abuse, Incest National Network) Day on Thursday, September 21.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to meet representatives from local and national companies and organizations. Employers will be looking for individuals for full-time positions, as well as internships and co-ops. The Career Expo and Graduate School Fair also provides you an opportunity to explore employers and career opportunities that you may have never thought about. Participating also provides you with an opportunity for face-to-face contact with recruiters and a chance to polish your networking skills (no matter how brief your contact). Although the Career Expo and Graduate School Fair is primarily intended for IUP juniors and seniors of all majors, freshmen and sophomores may also attend to get a general idea of what a career fair entails, as long as they are dressed appropriately.
