Two dozen Capital Region employers are converging at Union on Saturday for a job fair aimed at keeping college students and college-bound high school seniors in the area for summer jobs and beyond.

The Job Fair is Saturday, Jan. 12, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Hale House and Old Chapel.

The goal is to connect promising students with internships and training programs with local employers, according to Bradley Lewis, director of corporate relations, who organized the event. “We believe the fair will be an excellent way for college students and mature college-bound high school seniors from the whole region to get an early look at the opportunities available right here.”

College students should bring their college ID and a resume (optional); high school students should have parents' permission and should register prior to attending.

For more information, call ext. 6169 or ext. 6089.

Sider, associate professor of philosophy at Syracuse University, will speak on “Vagueness and Hell” to open the Philosophy Department's Winter Colloquia on Friday, Jan. 18, at 4:15 p.m. in Humanities 213.

Sider describes his talk as “a kind of goofy but fun paper arguing against the traditional Christian doctrine of hell based on considerations of vagueness.”

His interests include metaphysics and philosophy of language. Sider is the author of Four-Dimensionalism: An Ontology of Persistence and Time (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 2001), which defends the thesis that the material world is composed of temporal as well as spatial parts.

The series continues with Ann Bumpus of Dartmouth College on Jan. 25, and Rachel Brown of McGill University on March 2.
