Strategies for employment
New director of Career Services
wants to expand range of jobs
students consider
By Caroline Moseley
We help undergraduates, graduate
students and alumni explore their
career-related interests," says Beverly
Hamilton-Chandler, who became director of
Career Services this past July.
"Our aim is to
help them develop strategies for finding
summer or permanent employment, for
gaining admission to graduate school or
for changing careers. We're a resource for
both students who are undecided about
career plans and students who are very
focused about their interests," she
notes.

  Rosenberg
advocates MD-PhDs
By Steven Schultz
The U.S. medical research community,
widely regarded as being in a heyday of
dramatic advances, is rapidly losing one
of its most important resources, according
to Leon Rosenberg, who is lecturer with
rank of professor in Molecular Biology and
the Woodrow Wilson School. In the January
15 issue of Science, Rosenberg said
there is a dangerous decline in the number
of physician-scientists -- medical doctors
who spend the majority of their time doing
research.
