1. Water your plants and grass in the cooler hours of morning or evening. Better yet, consider planting grasses, trees and plants that require little-to-no maintenance or watering.
2. When you're headed to the store, bring a reusable bag for your items instead of having them packed in a plastic bag. (Note: Reunion attendees will receive a stylish Medaille College reusable bag as a gift for attending).
3. Minimize your air conditioning use by taking advantage of cool morning breezes and blocking the sun that streams through your windows in the heat of the day. Remember, the fan is your friend.
4. Grill, baby, grill. Instead of heating up your stove or oven and sweating in the kitchen, take your meal prep outdoors and fire up the grill.
5. At your summer picnics, bring reusable plates and utensils, not plastic ware and Styrofoam plates. The planet will thank you.
   

• Review and revise your resume to reflect your new degree, address changes, experience from your final year in school, and references.
• Contact former professors, supervisors, and others who are familiar with your work and let them know that you're in the market for a job, and ask if they'd be willing to serve as a reference.
  
• Post your resume to your online alumni community profile; this will be available to Medaille graduates who may be able to help you network within your industry.
• Get active on web sites like LinkedIn, where you can search for jobs and career advice.
• Review what's on your Facebook and MySpace profiles. If you have content that you wouldn't want a future employer to see, it's best that you take it down or make it private.
