This fee, patterned after the fee instituted by the Instructional Enhancement Initiative (IEI) within the College of Letters and Science and collected on all undergraduate courses since 1997, will be used solely for the purpose of providing computing resources in support of undergraduate coursework within the Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science.

<p>another way for UCLA to steal money from students :rolleyes:</p>
<p>"Fees will be assessed based upon enrollment following the completion of the fourth week of classes each quarter and are charged to the student's BAR account, payable through URSA. "</p>
<p>just another way to nickel and dime us. heres what UCLA needs to do: cut all those lazy government jobs. half the employees at ucla just spend the day sitting around doing nothing.</p>
<p>Yep, you want to go to college and eventually get a job with Facilities, where you can work long hours (often late at night), sweeping floors, picking up trash, cleaning blackboards, doing plumbing, mostly at the appreciation of no one. This is after you've driven all the way across town to this job because there's no way the wages for this type of job could support you living in posh West LA.</p>
<p>Have some appreciation for the facilities guys, without them the campus would be an absolute, complete mess (don't believe me? Look how bad the average college apartment here is). Most of them I've met are nice folks and good people and really appreciate it when you show them some love.</p>
<p>i was making a joke because you gotta admit they do drive aruond all day (for legit purposes im guessing). im sure facilities does more than the professors who get paid 150k a year.</p>
<p>Ya, as a government job it's not too bad (paywise, though last year I remember there was an issue with the food service workers). I just think on the whole they are underappreciated, you don't see them but without them things would fall apart.</p>
<p>Actually, Facilities told me that they never really felt that way. They're usually seen as heroes since they're usually the guys who fix really serious problems late at night.</p>
<p>Food service workers is a separate issue that we can discuss in a different thread. ;)</p>
<p>hey allie what does your internship have you do as marketing coordinator? is it very laid back and sit at computer to go on CC or are you pretty hectic? what expeirence did you have on your resume to get this internship?</p>
<p>Eh the pace just depends. Sometimes I have lots to do and sometimes I screw around online for 8 hours and that's about it. For a while I was helping organize the office because they'd been here a year and hadn't unpacked yet, but now it's mostly computer work. Tasks go from mailing things and putting together media kits for prospective sponsors to researching companies and their marketing people and then hunting down contact information. I also help with "prospecting" for our biggest award, which basically means sanctioned youtube-ing and screwing around online. Eventually they want to put me on the phones with sponsors once our contracts are established because that's really the bulk of my boss' job and he's "grooming" (his word, not mine) me for a similar position. It's not so bad. </p>
<p>As far as experience, I had two years on my CC's magazine (1 as E-I-C) with lots of design and organizational experience. Also had a year on AdTeam, with our "book" which outlines our entire campaign (and looks extremely professional...it's helped a lot of people get jobs). But since I found my job on Craigslist and there were toooooooons of people competing, I really think I got the job because of personality and because I interviewed really well. Also he liked that I had an interest in advertising and had done things (ad team) to further that interest, and he thought it was impressive that I knew what I wanted to do in life this early. He's also told me that he appreciated how professional my resume/cover letter were, just in appearance, because I guess tons of people don't get that they actually have to write cover letters and spell correctly and stuff like that. </p>
<p>(and shhh don't tell anyone, but the marketing coordinator title is totally silly. I'm just a paid intern, they gave me the title so that I have something to put on the signature of my emails if I ever communicate with sponsors. Not complaining though.)</p>
