This raise in price increases the budget for the HPC, Ruesch said. According to Trading Economics' website, the price of steel increased from $4,564 to $4,567 per metric ton between 2016 and 2018. The increase in steel comes from the tariffs placed on steel coming from other countries, said Paul be- e,o1 Co MIEUES u science building and a dorm are underway.

A new four-yea- r plan, monthly seminars, a career exploration class, and the Career Lab are all services that have been put in place this fall for all DSU students. The Career Center is located on the fifth floor of the Jeffrey R. Holland Centennial Commons building. The first update the Career Center is providing to DSU students is a new four-yeplan. ar r Unlike the plan provided on the DSU website that shows students what classes they need to take for their major, this four-yea- Moises Medina is a junior communication major from Mesquite, Nevada. 4, , , A,Asa Rhiannon Bent, Adviser e , , , Katrina Keller Ashlyn Searcy Emma Van Lent 19 ,,,A)1 , - plan implements social and personal goals as well. Each year is broken down into a specific category. Freshman year is called "Imagine," which encourages students to get involved on campus, attend school activities and events, and meet other students to begin building their own network. Sophomore year is "Investigate" where students should participate in volunteer opportunities on campus and within the community and continue to get involved in DSU clubs and organizations. Junior year is the "Interact" year; this is when students should focus on joining a local professional organization, take on leadership roles, and practice stress and time management to maintain a healthy social and school life balance. sMP, Senior year is the year to "Implement"; this is when students should join national and state professional organizations, learn about the DSU Alumni Association, mentor other students, and continue their campus involvement. "We're a resource, but the work has to come from them," said Blatter. "The more they put into their resume, the better they're going to have. The same goes for an internship, a job search or career exploration. We try to provide as many resources as possible, but the students will get much more from it if they put in more effort." Another new service is the Career Lab which allows students to do drop-i- n visits Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from p.m. to 4 p.m. in the Holland Centennial Commons building to get help from the student career mentors. The career mentors have been trained to help students with their Handshake profiles, making a basic resume, and help with using Focus2Career which is a career guidance tool that is free to all students. This' tool helps students select their major, establish career goals, and provide them with valuable occupational information. If a student feels like they need more help or resources, they can meet with a career coach. Blatter said every DSU student automatically has a Handshake and account. are posted on this jobs social network, including work-stud- y jobs. Although Handshake is targeted for students, their account remains available to them - On-camp- off-camp- us 1 I SEE TOOLS PAGE 2 |
