Ever notice how SCC’s campus is just crammed full of various flora? Well now you can meet at the fountain in the PUB courtyard and learn all about it as Earth Week winds down. Twice, even.
Arbor Day Celebration
10:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m., April 20, PUB Courtyard
Various activities, music and a seedling giveaway will take place in the PUB Courtyard for much of the day. It’ll be like giving the Earth a hug with your brain.

Employer of the Day
11 a.m.-1 p.m., PUB Info Desk
SNBL USA – April 23
SNBL USA reps will be on hand to discuss how they use “non-clinical expertise to advance medical science that will lead to pharmaceutical cures.” They also say their goal is to “change everything,” so that’s probably worth listening to, eh?
PNW Fertility – April 30
Pacific Northwest Fertility reps will be on hand to answer questions and discuss working in the healthcare field of infertility.
Financial Aid Workshop
2:30-4 p.m., April 23 & 30, FOSS, Room 5101
Warning: If you hate having more money for school, you probably shouldn’t attend. It’ll only end poorly for you.
Last Day for 50 Percent Refund
April 24
Maybe something came up. Maybe you overextended yourself. Maybe you realized that post-modern neo-euclidean geometric gastronomy (disclaimer: not a real class, probably) just isn’t for you. No shame, and good news to boot. You can still exit gracefully with the ever-popular “W” grade, while recouping half of your tuition payment. It could be better, sure, but it could certainly be worse too. For example, you could have waited until tomorrow. Then you get bupkis.

Children at Work Day
3-4:30 p.m., April 26, PUB, Room 9202
The Social Justice Collective is putting on an event to bring awareness about children at work, so take your kids and learn about parenting in the workplace. It’s okay, because it’s also National Take Our Children to Work Day. They’ve also promised to tell you what a “wraptivist” is. I know I’m curious. Someone with kids should tell me.

The 2018 Great Discussions series continues with a discussion of China’s role on the world stage, and how the new direction of the U.S. might intersect with that.
Staff Training Day
April 27
No school, amigos. Of course they put this on a Friday, since most of you don’t have to show up anyway. But I have a lab on Fridays this quarter, so I’m deeply excited to have the day off. I think I’ll spend it playing Pokemon. You can spend it how you like, but I recommend Pokemon.
Spring Carnival and Benefit Auction

A carnival with games designed for kids up to age 10 and an auction for, well, anyone with money, I guess, will be put on in the PUB. Also snacks will be available.

Reps from around 25 schools will be on site to discuss transferring, admissions, all that jazz. Go check it out and you might even find a school you never considered or even heard of before.
Journalism in an IT World
12:30-1:20 p.m., May 1, PUB, Quiet Dining Room (9208)
Seattle PI reporter and Ebbtide alum Dan DeMay will discuss his journey into the world of journalism, and what it’s like to be a journalist in today’s technological world.
