Student Notes

Students participate in Central American elections
First-year students Blanche Arevalo and Julien Ross participated in two Central American presidential elections this November.

Arevalo, a native of Peru, served as an observer with the Organization of American States during the Honduran presidential elections on November 25. She played an integral role in last year's Peruvian presidential elections as vice president of operations for the National Office of Electoral Processes in Peru.

Ross, who interned with the State Department at the U.S. Embassy in Nicaragua last summer, joined the Carter Center during the Nicaraguan presidential elections on November 4. He served as assistant to the press officer for former President Jimmy Carter, the principal observer and conflict resolution mediator.

Career fair draws LBJ School and Bush School students
This year's LBJ School career fair took place in early November and was organized in collaboration with the Texas A&M George Bush School of Government and Public Service. The fair allowed students and employers to discuss potential jobs, internships, and career issues.

The event, coordinated by the LBJ School's Office of Student and Alumni Programs, drew about 150 students from both schools and nearly 30 employers representing public agencies, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies.
