On the June 28, 2009 edition of WNRN’s Sunday Morning Wake-Up Call, Rick Moore holds a discussion about the job market, or lack thereof, for recent high school and college graduates. Carter Hopkins, UVA’s Director of Alumni Career Services and Tom Fitch, Assistant Dean for Career Services at the McIntire School of Commerce discuss the challenges students face and ways they can put the right foot forward.

Hopkins and Fitch discuss the importance of networking services such as LinkedIn and Twitter, the changing purpose of internships and the skills job-seekers can learn to help them both today and when the all-but-inevitable career switch occurs down the line.

By the way, don’t forget you can stay up to date with the Charlottesville Podcasting Network via Twitter, as well!

On Wednesday, June 17th, Scott Harris, Director of the New Market Battlefield Park, delivered a presentation on the Battle of Kernstown, Virginia, (which took place just south of Winchester in the Shenandoah Valley). Fought on March 23rd, 1862, this battle pitted Jackson with 4,000 men against Union Col. Nathan Kimball in command of approximately 9,000. Although Jackson was defeated, the battle led the Lincoln administration to make strategic errors that greatly benefited the Confederacy.

This is part three of a seven part series. The event is held every third Wednesday at the Charlottesville Senior Center.
