The College of Engineering at Virginia Tech is embarking on a
long term plan to increase the numbers of African American, Hispanic,
American Indian and women students admitted to and enrolling in our
undergraduate degree programs. We believe that increased diversity of
our College will enhance the educational experience of all students.
Therefore, we are requesting your assistance in distributing information
about the 2009 Spring Fling Event to interested students.
We are seeking sophomore students with an interest in
engineering to travel to Virginia Tech on Saturday April 25th to attend
a tailgate party and the Virginia Tech Spring Football Game. We are
providing travel arrangements from three locations; the Northern
Virginia Region, the Tidewater area, and the Richmond area. It will be
an exciting day, filled with campus tours, activities as well as the
opportunity to meet and mingle with College of Engineering students,
faculty, and staff. Not to forget excellent accommodations for
attending the spring football game!
Attached is the flyer describing this event and the application
materials as this is a competitive process with a limited number of
students being accepted. I ask for your assistance in identifying
students and encouraging them to apply. Please note the deadlines:
Early Decision - March 20; Regular Decision - March 27.
If you have any questions, please contact me at ceed@xxxxxx
