42 / GENERAL INFORMATION of the unusual convergence of a strong faculty and a set of unique facilities available within the University and peculiar to the State of Florida and its regional lo- cation in the United States. The graduate studies envisioned by the faculty call for broad training in an established academic dis- cipline, which may be a specialized area within one of the biological, medical, or physical sciences, an in- troductory survey of the senses, in-depth training in one or more sense modalities (vision, hearing, chemi- cal, etc.) and special advanced studies in basic or ap- plied techniques. The intent is to develop a broad perspective as well as necessary skills within an estab- lished academic discipline. This provides the founda- tion upon which sensory studies will be developed. Affiliation with an academic degree granting program will also provide an additional basis for future pro- fessional affiliation. Since students will enter the sen- sory program with differing backgrounds, the pro- gram of studies will be tailored to the perceived needs of the student. Correspondence should be addressed to the Direc- tor, Center for Sensory Studies, Physics Department, 278 Williamson Hall. URBAN AND REGIONAL RESEARCH CENTER The Center stimulates and coordinates in- terdisciplinary research on urban and regional affairs and works closely with faculty and graduate students in any discipline concerned with local, state, regional, national, or international human settlements. Since the major thrust of URRC is research, no formal courses or degree programs are offered. However, URRC seeks the participation of faculty and graduate students who are interested in research on urban and- regional topics. The Center maintains an updated list- ing of grant announcements and is ready to assist in the development of research proposals. Further in- quiries should be made to the Director, Urban and Regional Research Center, 2326 General Purpose Building A. CENTER FOR WETLANDS The Center for.Wetlands is an intercollege research division dedicated to understanding wetlands and their role in the partnership of humanity and nature. The Center encourages interdisciplinary research on ecology problems, management, reclamation, and ef- fective use of wetlands. The Center advances knowl- edge through special research approaches such as sys- tems ecology modeling and simulation, energy analy- sis and planning, field experiments on vegetation re- sponse to water control, reclamation of wetlands and surrounding watersheds, and regional planning. The Center fosters campus and statewide com- munication through a central workshop activity, or- ganized research projects of county and state con- cern, wetlands publications, conferences and short courses, research data collections, and proposals for curricula. Support of faculty and graduate students is provided by active projects. The Center is jointly sponsored by several state and federal agencies (the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Sci- ence Foundation, the Florida Department of Environ- mental Regulation, the Florida Institute of Phosphate Research, and others). Interested persons should contact the Director, Center for Wetlands, Phelps Laboratory. STUDENT SERVICES CAREER RESOURCE CENTER The Center, Suite G-1, J. Wayne Reitz Student Un- ion, is the central agency for career planning, job placement, and cooperative education assistance for all students and alumni of the University. It also coor- dinates these activities with those colleges that pro- vide direct employment assistance to their students. Graduate students desiring to orient career in- terests, formulate job search plans, gain proficiency in job related communications, or interview or other- wise identify and contact potential employers are in- vited to visit the Center and utilize its services. For those seeking individual assistance in resolving problems relating to any of the activities of the Cen- ter, vocational counselors are available for personal appointments. The Center provides reproduction and distribution services for the professional files (Qualification Re- cords, Resumes, Vitae, References, and other related papers) of students and alumni. A modest charge is assessed to cover labor and materials for reproduction and mailing of copies of these credentials to em- ployers. A significant on-campus job interview program with representatives from business, industry, govern- ment, and education seeking graduating students in most career fields is available to all graduate students registered with the Center. Gator Match is a computerized program matching employers with prospective qualified employees. Gator Match input forms are available at the Center. Other functions of the Center include (1) serving as liaison between students and employers; (2) conduct- ing studies on the employment outlook, salary trends, progress of graduates in the working world and re- lated matters; (3) serving in a public relations capacity in dealing with employers and the public; (4) provid- ing speakers from business, industry, government, ed- ucation, and the Center to academic classes and stu- dent organizations to talk on professional subjects of interest.
