Rainbow Center Student Programs Team weekly meeting in Rainbow Center Conference Room. [closed meeting]

Would it be helpful to know what skills employers have identified as key indicators of career success and the things they look for in candidates? This event will introduce you to the 8 Career Competencies from the National Association of Colleges and Employers, help you assess your competency levels, and discuss ways to develop them at UConn.

The Rainbow Center is a UConn/Storrs campus spot to get a free and private Rapid HIV test and a HepC test which allows for results to be known within the half-hour, made possible with the generous support of the Risk Reduction Outreach program of Perception Programs, Inc., of Willimantic (http://www.perceptionprogram.org).

This test is free of charge and open to all, however there are approximately TEN spots available per day of testing! No appointments will be taken due to the need for privacy. Arrive early because testing is first come, first served. Numbers will be given out to individuals and people need to wait in the office. If a person leaves the office and their number is called, we can substitute another person at our discretion. If a person misses their opportunity to get tested because they need to leave, they can be tested on another day that we offer the testing.
