JOBS:
Recently launched website What's the Point (whatsthepointnews.com) is looking for writers and general submissions. We are a group of recent college graduates who believe that young people deserve to have more of a voice in public policy and issues that affect our country and our world. The goal of our website is to publicize the beliefs and opinions of our generation and to promote a constructive dialogue about solutions to the problems of the day.

This is where you come in. We are looking for opinions on issues and current events to post ASAP. We want to be informative but also, if possible, humorous, and we want to hear what you have to say. So, check out our site and send us your best. Hey, if you're good, we might even want to bring you on as a regular.
Please include your name, town, e-mail, phone number, and college (if applicable). We will let you know if your submission is going to published in advance, and there will be no compensation for any articles.

JOB OPENING: Development Director, Responsible Endowments Coalition, New York, NY

The Responsible Endowments Coalition (REC) was founded in 2004 by
students who believed that colleges and universities should be

encourages institutions of higher education to invest their endowments
with the values of the institution in mind and with the goals of
promoting social and environmental justice. Because of their role in
society, their tax-exempt status, and their large endowments,
universities have the ability to have a large influence on
corporations and on how money is invested more broadly.
REC supports students and other community members as they confront
corporate abuse and address a wide variety of issues like sweatshop
labor, environmental destruction, and discrimination. Campus
