Puget Sound Volunteers Needed for Tacoma Voter Mobilization!
This election cycle, we are hosting volunteer voter mobilization opportunities to door-knock and phone-bank to turn-out voters in affordable housing who are traditionally excluded and untapped during elections. This would be an important opportunity not only to engage communities in the Tacoma area, but provide students some background on the electoral/legislative process, exposure to how housing policy is experienced by folks in affordable housing, and fun, valuable GOTV experience.
Interested students should contact our organizer director's email teresac@housingactionfund.org, and she can coordinate scheduling different voter engagement opportunities with them.

The Project Vote Smart National Internship Program
"The Project Vote Smart National Internship Program provides a unique
lesson in the study of American politics. Students from across the
nation and around the world come to our high tech research center in the
Montana Rockies for ten weeks to help American citizens educate
themselves about elected officials and candidates. By providing this
information in an easy and accessible manner, Project Vote Smart
believes that citizens can better defend themselves from the political
hype and misrepresentation characteristic of present day political
campaigns.
Interns play a crucial role at Project Vote Smart and make up the vast majority of our staff. The individual talents, ideas and hard work of our interns have been instrumental in the success of many of our most important programs.
Since the Project researches thousands of elected officials and candidates' backgrounds, the work is often tedious. However, if you are interested in making a genuine contribution to your Nation, in an idealistic and positive environment -- located in the middle of a natural wonderland -- we would love to have you join our team. There is plenty of room to learn and grow with the organization. Interns often return as staff members after they have finished their college careers.
College students and recent graduates typically participate in our National Internship Program. Interns must commit to ten consecutive weeks, but may intern anytime during the year. We accept applications on a rolling basis and have no deadline, but interns are encouraged to submit their applications early because space does fill up quickly. Interns live on-site at the Project's Great Divide Ranch and scholarships pay for all living costs, including room and board."

Lecture of Interest on Technology use in Syrian Refugee Camps
Creating Futures through Magical Devices and Library Caravans: Participatory Design with Syrian Youth at Za’atari Refugee Camp by Professor Karen E. Fisher
When: Monday, October 10th at 3:00 – 4:00 with a Q&A session at 4 p.m.
Where: Library Room 020
In 2016 the world is facing the worst humanitarian crisis since WWII: over 65M people are forcibly displaced, and half of them are youth. Drawing on previous work with U.S. teens from East Africa, Myanmar and Latin America, we explore how technology and libraries can help young Syrian refugees build their futures. We report on recent fieldwork from Zaatari Syrian Refugee Camp in Jordan, highlighting youth creativity, desire to help others via ICT wayfaring and crisis response, and universal design archetypes. We share sample design specs for glasses that detect disease and other magical devices, storytelling sessions, a YouTube community memory project, and interviews with refugee volunteers at caravan libraries. The United Nations Refugee Agency gave us a mission to help build capacity through innovation at Zaatari. In this talk, we pause, to debrief and brainstorm with audiences on how libraries and technology can help refugee youth and families re imagine their lives in the Middle East and world at-large. Shukran.
Karen E. Fisher, Professor, information school, University of Washington. An advocate of humanitarian research, her passion is how libraries and information technology can create futures. Fisher is working with Arab refugees in the Middle East and Europe, understanding their information behavior, and building capacity through education, livelihoods, and social engagement.
