May Term: Learn What You Love
May is Westminster's month of offbeat and inspiring classes where learning happens on campus, across Utah, and around the globe. May Term takes students out of the classroom and leads them to discoveries about themselves and the world. Students can begin registering for on-campus classes in February. Registration for off-campus adventures is available now. This year students will travel to exciting places, including Cuba, Europe, China, and Colombia (Check out this short video about our recent trip to Thailand.) But the on-campus offerings are just as intriguing and may include classes like Victorian Murders, The Art and Science of Yoga, the Chemistry and Biology of Brewing, and many others. Payment of full-time tuition for Fall Semester 2013 earns two discounted hours for May Term or Summer 2014. Payment of full-time tuition for Spring Semester 2014 earns two discounted hours for May Term or Summer 2014. |

Why Do An Internship?
 According to the Spotlight for Career Services Professionals, employers turned more than half of interns into full-time employees. For students looking for a foot in the door, there's more evidence that pursuing an internship could be the answer.
Employers responding to The National Association of Colleges and Employers' 2011 Internship & Co-op Survey reported that 39.1 percent of their entry-level hires from the Class of 2010 came from their own internship programs. In addition, they reported converting, on average, nearly 58 percent of their interns into full-time hires. Encourage your student to stop by the Career Center in the Shaw Center to find out more about internship opportunities, as well as career planning and job search support and strategies.

You, too, can impact your student's education now by providing increased resources for athletics, academic programs, student services, or clubs. Give to the Parent Fund today, and designate where you want to make a difference for your student at Westminster College!
