How to: Resume and Cover Letter Tips (Workshop)
2:00 p.m.Oct

2:00–2:45 p.m.
Ever stare at your resume thinking, “Is this… good? Bad? Chaotic? Who even knows?” Yep, we’ve all been there.
Ever sit down to write a cover letter and think, “Wait… what am I even supposed to focus on?” You’re not alone!
Join us for just 45 minutes and turn that “uh-oh” into aha!
We’ll cover what actually matters on a resume, how to make your experience shine (even if you think you don’t have any), and what to cut so your resume doesn’t turn into a five-page novel. We’ll also show you what a cover letter really needs, how to tell your story without rambling, and how to highlight why you’re a perfect fit without sounding like a robot. Plus, we’ll dive into how AI is changing the application game and what that means for personalizing your letter.
Whether this is your first resume or cover letter or your tenth recycled template, you’ll leave with tips to make yours clear, compelling, and unmistakably you.
Come hang out with us in person. Let’s make cover letters fun (yes, really)!

Work parties are when we come together to collectively care for the space. We have raised beds and other planting areas that are managed by the overall community to produce food (mainly vegetables) for the student food pantry, the SSC Produce Drop, Eugene Food Not Bombs, and of course (and often primarily) those who come each week to volunteer. So, a typical work party may include harvesting food, weeding beds, sowing seeds/transplanting starts, chipping a wood path, etc. There is no signup ahead of time, the only prep beforehand is dressing for the weather in clothes you don't mind some dirt/sweat on.
Sign up for our newsletter for weekly reminders and updates, and follow us on Instagram too!
Note that at times, we have to cancel/reschedule work parties due to unpredictable circumstances, and we may be unable to update this recurring weekly posting. See the above channels for the most up-to-date information. Feel free to email grovegarden@uoregon.edu with any questions or inquiries.

Grove Community Garden Work Party
2:00 p.m.Oct
18
2:00–4:00 p.m.
Volunteer at UO's only student-led community garden. Nearly every Sunday from 2-4 pm at the Grove Community Garden (just behind Global Scholars Hall).
Work parties are when we come together to collectively care for the space. We have raised beds and other planting areas that are managed by the overall community to produce food (mainly vegetables) for the student food pantry, the SSC Produce Drop, Eugene Food Not Bombs, and of course (and often primarily) those who come each week to volunteer. So, a typical work party may include harvesting food, weeding beds, sowing seeds/transplanting starts, chipping a wood path, etc. There is no signup ahead of time, the only prep beforehand is dressing for the weather in clothes you don't mind some dirt/sweat on.
Sign up for our newsletter for weekly reminders and updates, and follow us on Instagram too!
Note that at times, we have to cancel/reschedule work parties due to unpredictable circumstances, and we may be unable to update this recurring weekly posting. See the above channels for the most up-to-date information. Feel free to email grovegarden@uoregon.edu with any questions or inquiries.
Blasting Company plays Over the Garden Wall

8:00 p.m.
ON SALE AT THE UO TICKET OFFICE IN THE EMU
It’s not very well-worn, but the Nashville street band to composer pipeline has certainly been a distinctive, if tempered, fairy-tale arc for Joshua Kaufman and Justin Rubenstein, the brothers at the helm of The Blasting Company. For years, curiosity and circumstance guided them through the streets of the US and Europe as they accumulated a blend of American folk and Eastern European influences, grand orchestral tendencies, and inescapably modern sensibilities, eventually landing them in Los Angeles, where they found a home for most of it in the world of film and television. Their first and perhaps most notable venture into scoring was for the critically-acclaimed animated miniseries, Over the Garden Wall, which has become a seasonal staple for a growing fanbase worldwide whenever fall – or its equatorial approximate – is in the air.
