Liz has a secret…
And with Halloween right around the corner, it’s time we revealed her hidden past to the kind students of the UHP. Liz is a vampire, and not just any vampire. She is the worst kind of vampire. The kind based on the hit teen novel series by Stephanie Meyer. She speaks in terribly stilted dialogue, is constantly confessing her love for random people/animals/inanimate objects and sparkles in the sunlight. It’s this last point that led to the creation of evening walk-in hours.
Come to the UHP on Wednesday from 5-7pm and get after-hours express advising from Liz and the SPA. We recommend bringing garlic and a high tolerance for plot devices.
If you need an appointment during regular daytime hours, you can always make an appointment.

Be a Research Assistant in Spring 2013
We know, most of you hear “research assistant” and you immediately think , “Just like Igor, my hero”
But for those of you who haven’t been kindling a deep desire to assist a professor in interesting research your whole life, let me break down to you exactly what being a research assistant means:
- Professors do more than teach. They also do research and write books.
- They need help. That help is called a research assistant.
- Research assistants do lots of things ranging from data entry to performing tests to conducting interviews to cloning genes to more. It all depends on the project and the professor.
- In return, research assistants get academic credit. They also can be listed in the acknowledgments section of the final product. Sometimes they’re even published as co-author.
So, you think it would be pretty cool to be a co-author of a major study before you even graduate college. But how?
Luckily for you UHPers, professors want students just like you to be their research assistants. Just check out our listing of available Research Assistantships for UHPers and apply for the one(s) you’re interested in by October 26th, 2012. We’re hoping to have you hear back in time for registration, so you know what to plan for.
Then, have an amazingly awesome academic experience and impress your friends, family, admissions boards, and employers with your achievement!
