Dear Prospective Graduate Student:

Congratulations on your admission to the Electrical Engineering Department at UCLA.

You are invited to attend the Prospective Graduate Student Recruitment Day on Friday, March 5, 2010, 8:00AM-7:00PM.

At this event, you will have the opportunity to meet with Electrical Engineering faculty and learn about their research and teaching interests.

You will also participate in school-wide events, as well as campus and lab tours.

March 4, 2010 Meet-and-Greet Event

Location: Coral Tree Walk near the UCLA Sculpture Garden

**The Meet-And-Greet event will include some current students, some faculty and prospective students attending the Open House event. It will be from 6:00-8:00 p.m. and will consist of light refreshments and a couple of games. This is a very informal way of meeting other people and is intended to provide prospective students with additional contact with faculty and current students that they may not have during the Open House event on March 5, 2010. Please RSVP for this event with Mandy Smith.
