Scholarships for Connecticut residents:
The Connecticut Chapter of the Air & Waste Management
Association, seeking to improve knowledge and skills in the
fields of air and waste management, is offering scholarships
of up to $1,000 for study in those areas. Applicants must be
undergraduates and Connecticut residents who are interested
in careers in the environmental field, especially in work
related to air pollution control or waste management.
Deadline: April 15. See www.awma.org/section/newengland/
 
Starting salary $100,000 and up:
A company located in Northeastern U.S. seeks a Director/Manager
of Consumer Products. Applicants should have B.S. or a higher
degree in ME or EE, management experience, and must be
U.S. citizens or have Permanent Resident status. For specifics,
contact Arthur Krasnow at 215/885-4223 or at <alomic@dca.net>
 
Engineering Library training on "Auto Alert":
Instead of tracking down yourself the latest research in your
fields of interest, learn a search strategy that will e-mail you
summaries of newly published papers in the fields of your
choice every week. Mon., Feb. 19, noon, Engineering Library.
 
U.S. Mail wants P.O. Box, not street address:
The Post Office neither sorts nor delivers mail at Yale if it
shows a street address. The Post Office just dumps piles
of street-address mail at Campus Mail, where it must
be sorted by hand (sometimes requiring overtime) and
then delivered by Campus Mail, all of which wastes
University resources and also delays your mail. So, review
the mailing address on your Yale office stationery, business
cards, webpages, and publications. The return address
should provide only your name, department, Yale University,
P.O. Box (6 digit) number, New Haven, CT 06520+last four
digits of your P.O. Box number (if you don't know the four
digits, find out from 4-9310.). When online orders do not
take a P.O. Box number, drop the "P.O." and write only
Box (six digit) number.
