Time and Space in the Modern World
4:00 pm- 5:00 pm; Education Center Room 118

This year's Convocation Book, LONGITUDE, is all about measuring and controlling space, but within the confines of the political realities of the day. What about today? Is there new geographic space to be measured and explored? How might your lives be changed by emerging technologies applied to exploration and control over space? Join a panel of Political Science and Geography faculty to discuss the modern implications of time, space, and politics. For more information, contact Dr. Mark Long at longm@cofc.edu

Governor Mark Warner is looking for interns to help in his Senate campaign! Friends of Mark Warner is now accepting applications for summer, and fall interns. Summer and fall internships will also be available at our regional offices (Locations TBA).
Interns will work closely with the campaign staff to further Governor Warner’s bid to become the next U.S. Senator from Virginia. Strong candidates will have the ability to work dynamically with a team, have no apprehensiveness about hard work, and be committed to Governor Warner’s campaign. We prefer interns who are available to work full time, but part-time applicants will be considered. These internships are unpaid, but nothing can compare to the first-hand experience that will be gained. In addition, we are willing to help you find housing arrangements if necessary. To apply, email your resume and cover letter to resume@markwarner2008.com.
