Next Week in LCS - November 4, 2011

Are you concerned about your student loan debt? Associate Director Alisa Rosales will present on loan forgiveness through the College Cost, Reduction and Access Act presentation on Wednesday, November 9th at 5 p.m. in 343 O'Malley. This presentation will provide information on Income Based Repayment and Federal Loan Forgiveness. More events related to Adult Student Week are posted in Symplicity and in the University calendar.
Check out the new LCS Tutorials! From the shortcuts in Symplicity, you can access programs on using Symplicity, Professional Dress, and Technology in Your Job Search.  The LinkedIn Tutorial is now available, and its intructions are available just below the LinkedIn icon in the Symplicity shortcuts.


Join us for the Meet the Public Service Organizations Reception on Tuesday, November 8 from 5:30-7:00 PM at Loyola University-Chicago School of Law.  Mix and mingle with nearly 40 organizations to learn more about their missions and clients while building your network. A list of registered employers is available in the Symplicity Events.  LCS co-sponsors this event with the Chicago Area Law School Consortium.  PLEASE NOTE: This is a networking event, not a resume drop. You are encouraged to have copies of your resume in the event that an employer requests it, but this is primarily a networking event.


Drop-In Advising continues throughout the semester.  You can stop by for ten minutes during drop-in advising on most Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.  See the calendar below for this week's schedule and the upcoming schedules are available in Symplicity.
