---Subject: FW: Virginia Tech College of Engineering recruiting event TO: High School Administrators Student Organization Administrators FROM: Dr. Bevlee A. Watford Associate Dean, Academic Affairs Director, Center for the Enhancement of Engineering Diversity Virginia Tech DATE: February 12, 2010 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 engineering and computer science 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 2010 Spring Fling Event to interested students. We are seeking sophomore students with an interest in engineering or computer science to travel to Virginia Tech on Saturday April 24th 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 and 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 - the South End Zone box seats! 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 22, regular decision March 29.
