- What is “OZZI”? Have you noticed the black OZZI machine in the kitchen? It is part of a system to reduce consumption of food containers at Charley’s Place. In the future, everyone will have the opportunity to request a durable and reusable container when they purchase food in the cafeteria, which can then be returned to the dishwashing area or the OZZI machine for cleaning and reuse. The idea is to provide takeaway containers that are not disposable. Learn more.

- Virtual Interviewing Workshop: Video interviewing has become a standard part of the recruiting process, allowing companies to interview students from across the globe in a quasi-face-to-face way.

It’s important to prepare for a virtual interview differently than an in-person. This session is for students who may encounter virtual recruiting technologies such as HireVue, Skype, Interview Stream and other platforms. Learn about virtual interviewing and tools that are available for you to practice virtual interviewing skills. Sign up required in GTS.

Specific projects may include supporting: (a) OMB’s annual reviews of agency strategy and performance, (b) efforts to reform the Federal government’s process for permitting and review of major infrastructure projects, or (c) actions to improve the experience citizens and other customers have with Federal services. Anyone interested should reach out to Yonatan.Landau@yale.edu (or just email a CV/Resume to forward to Mark Bussow SOM ’04). Additionally, Kyle Hathaway '14 is currently working there now.
