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
2015 Recruiting Initiative for Student Engineers (RISE) offered by the
Center for the Enhancement of Engineering Diversity (CEED) at VA Tech (VT)
on Saturday, April 25, 2015.
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 2015 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, a tailgate party/picnic, and admission to the
2015 VT Spring Football Game on Saturday, April 25, 2015. 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 the opportunity you have been waiting for !!!
