Attention High School Sophomores

Are you a high school sophomore from the Hampton
Roads/Tidewater/Richmond/Northern VA areas who is interested in engineering
or computer science?

If so, then you need to give serious consideration to participating in the
2016 Recruiting Initiative for Student Engineers (RISE) offered by the
Center for the Enhancement of Engineering Diversity (CEED) at VA Tech (VT)
on Saturday, April 23, 2016.

The VT College of Engineering is committed to increasing the diversity of
the engineering professional community. As part of that commitment, CEED is
pleased to host its 2016 Recruiting Initiative for Student Engineers (RISE)
event this spring. High school sophomores who are interested in engineering
or computer science are invited to join us in Blacksburg, VA where you will
meet students, alumni, staff, and faculty who want to introduce you to VT
and what we have to offer in our top ranked College of Engineering. We are
especially interested in members of CHROME (Cooperating Hampton Roads
Organizations for Minorities in Engineering), girls, and diverse students of
color traditionally underrepresented in Science, Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics (STEM) fields are especially encouraged to apply!

This is an informative, fun, day-trip for high school sophomores only. It
offers free transportation, free food (a tailgate party/picnic), and
admission to the 2016 VT Spring Football Game on Saturday, April 23, 2016.
You'll meet faculty, staff, and students from VT's College of Engineering
who will be your hosts for the day.

If you are a high achieving high school sophomore (or know of one) who is
interested in pursuing engineering or computer science (or finding out what
it's all about), this is your chance to explore one of the nation's
top-ranked engineering schools and have some fun while you do it !!!

If you are a teacher, guidance counselor, student, or other interested
party, please pass along this information to worthy 10th grader you know who
might have an interest in learning more about engineering or computer
science.
