Movember

Movember was a movement created in 2004 by a group of Australian friends. Initially, the group was just discussing 70's fashion movements that'd never returned. Mustaches came up in their conversation, and later they began discussing men's health. They began to connect the two into what they began to call "Movember". They began growing their mustaches in the month of November to promote men's health such as: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and other mental health issues. They thought that they needed to spread the word that although prostate cancer isn't as well known as breast cancer, it kills as many men as breast cancer does women. Since then, they have been spreading their movement across the world and donating the money they raise to hundreds of institutions that study cancer.

Guest Speaker - OCT 31

 I thought that Neil did a very good job of relating with us that he was just an average high school student athlete when he was our age. He described that having even the most distant, and mellow connections, you can still use them to your advantage. He also went on to tell us how putting your name out there, is probably the most important thing in order to get a certain job, because an opportunity isn't going to go out of it's way to hit you square in the face. Also, he told us that employers admire someone who is professional, especially on social networking sights. They also admire someone who will step up and take initiative. He told us the story when there was a blizzard out, and the woman on the phone told him he could just do the interview on the phone, but he knew that's not the professional way to do it. So once he showed up at the office for the interview, they gave it to him right there.
