Dear Colleagues,

 

This year, for the first time, an umbrella graduate program called ABBS
(http://abbs.arizona.edu/) is recruiting prospective graduate students in
life sciences to the University of Arizona. The School of Plant Sciences is
a participating program. (Please note that we are also conducting our own
graduate admission for fall 2011.)Therefore, we have an opportunity to
attract prospective ABBS graduate students from a large and diverse pool of
applicants. ABBS will contact faculty members in each of the 5 participating
programs to conduct interviews based on the applicants' research interests.

 

A total of ~50 students will be visiting our campus during Jan 27-29 and Feb
10-12.  As part of the recruitment, there will be a party each weekend
during which current grad students can meet and help in recruiting the
prospective students.  The dates are January 27th and February 10th at night
(around 6 PM at a grad student's house close to the university).  I have
asked David Jarvis and Shea Monihan to help recruit our graduate students
to attend each party to represent the School of Plant Sciences.  We will
need  5 students representing our school each night. Unfortunately, the
turnout has been abysmal thus far. 

 

Please ask your graduate students to consider participating in this
important recruitment effort by contacting David or Shea as soon as
possible. 

 

Regards,



Ramin
