FREE BUS TRIP TO VA TECH ENGINEERING OPEN HOUSE
The Virginia Tech Center for the Enhancement of Engineering Diversity
(CEED*) would like to sponsor your attendance at an upcoming Engineering
Open House for prospective students on April 3, 2006. The open house will
give prospective students a special opportunity to discover the tremendous
academic offerings available from the VA Tech College of Engineering.
The Open House includes a free bus trip to VA Tech from the Hampton Roads
area (Virginia), an overnight stay, and a day exploring VA Tech's
undergraduate programs in engineering and computer science. In addition to
touring the campus, participants will explore the VT College of
Engineering, its laboratories and research facilities, and meet with
engineering professors, faculty, staff, and current engineering students.
Only students who are currently High School Juniors are eligible to
participate. Students of color traditionally underrepresented in
engineering and science are especially encouraged to participate.
Transportation, meals, and lodging are free; however, students should bring
$20 for snacks (to/from Blacksburg, VA), souvenirs, and miscellaneous
expense on the trip. The bus will depart early Sunday morning, 4/2/06, and
return late Monday night, 4/3/06.
This trip has been confirmed. Detailed information regarding trip logistics
will be announced at a later date via email. Registration (sign-up) is
first come, first serve. The only way to register is via the attached
registration forms.
If you have already signed up, thank you for your interest in the trip.
If you are a teacher, guidance counselor, student, or other interested
party, please pass along this information to high school juniors you know
who might have an interest in pursuing engineering and science. Students
involved in CHROME (Cooperating Hampton Roads Organizations for Minorities
in Engineering) are especially encouraged to apply.
