Wanted to let you know that Seattle Genetics just posted our 2018 Summer Internship openings on our corporate website this week.

http://www.seattlegenetics.com/careers/job-opportunities?p=jobs

Students just need to go to the Category pull down menu, choose “Internships” & then click “Search”.  A long list of positions (n=53) will come up.  I’ve attached screenshots of the entire list.

Please post this information as soon as possible since these internships get filled quite rapidly once they’re posted.

In addition, the company offers fellowship opportunities.  Information on fellowships is provided here:

As a closing note: Summer internship openings will be posted the first week of February every year.  Therefore, it would probably be helpful to set a reminder on your calendar in late January for future postings going forward since I will be leaving the company at the end of this month.

Hi everyone,

It is that time of year again when the Corvallis Fire Marshal, Jim Patton, performs his annual fire/safety inspection of Gilbert Hall and Gilbert Addition.

Gilbert Addition will be performed on Wednesday, February 14^th (Happy Valentine’s Day)

Gilbert Hall will follow on Thursday, February 15^th

Inspections begin at 9:00 AM on both days.

Attached are the two safety checklists to use as a guide to ensure your areas are up to expectations.  One is for the Offices and Classrooms, the other is for Labs.

I’m giving two-week notice so everyone has time to review their spaces and ensure we pass with minimal discrepancies.

The biggest culprits are:

• Extension cords used as a permanent, or long-term, solution.
• Power Strips daisy chained.  I.e. All Power strips must be plugged directly into the wall outlet.
• Space heaters under Desks and too close to combustibles (the desk itself, waste and recycle bins)
• Doors propped open with the evacuation route impeded.

Thank you for your support, attention to detail, and focus to ensure a successful inspection process.

Sincerely,

Rusty
