Kaplan’s Free Practice Test Event is back!

THIS Sunday 2/26 at 10am at Hunter College the GRE, LSAT, and MCAT will be offered. All of the tests will take place in the West Building: GRE (rm615), LSAT (rm511), and MCAT (rm415).

Space is limited for these exams so please register as early as possible to secure your seat. You can register for the exams by going to bit.ly/hunternpt2012.

This is a great opportunity for you to see how you might score on the real thing, and also to become familiar with the kinds of questions that will be on the real test. For most students, this exam will be a more realistic test-taking experience as you can practice in the format that mirrors most graduate school exams.

For additional information, visit us at www.kaptest.com/practice or call one of Kaplan’s test experts at 1-800-KAP-TEST.

Wednesday, February 29 @ 1pm in 1036 North

Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center

The Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences offers a volunteer opportunity to gain research experience in the behavioral issues related to cancer. The research volunteer would be a valued team member for a study that examines sun protection practices among family members of melanoma patients. The volunteer would be responsible for meeting with melanoma patients in doctors’ clinics, recruiting family member research participants over the telephone, confirming eligibility and ensuring that research participants complete their data collection requirements. Volunteers would also have the opportunity to contribute to manuscripts resulting from these research studies.

Good time management, organizational and communication skills are essential. Computer skills are desirable including experience with word processing, Microsoft Access and Microsoft Excel. The volunteer must be available to work on the studies starting in mid-spring throughout the summer of 2012.

This placement provides an excellent opportunity for research career development in a healthcare setting through the development of patient contact and psychology and public health research skills applicable to all areas of psychology research. Opportunities to attend Departmental didactic seminars will also be available.

Please read the information below BEFORE applying to any positions. In the past we have received complaints of unprofessional responses to postings from individuals offering Hunter students opportunities. This is just a friendly reminder about professional etiquette.

Job, volunteer, and internship postings that are sent out on the listserv are professional and should be responded to professionally. It is unacceptable to send the contact person an e-mail that just simply says: “I’m interested” or to use text message lingo in a response.
All e-mails or letters should have a greeting and a closing in addition to proper punctuation and grammar.
For Example:
Dear Ms. Smith:
My name is Sally Jones, and I am interested in the posting that was sent out on the Hunter College listserv. I am an undergraduate student at Hunter College, pursuing dental school and an opportunity to work in your office would be a great learning experience.

Attached are my resume and cover letter.

Thank you for your time.
