It's that time of year again. The prospective graduate students will be visiting next weekend March 8th and 9th. The Physics Department and the PGSA need your help!
The PGSA will need some volunteers for Saturday activities. Specifically we need the following:
1-2 people: 11:45-1:30 (on the 9th) to help out with campus tours. You don't need a real formal knowledge of the campus, as long as you can point out some important landmarks and tell interesting stories.
10-20 people: 1:30-3:30 (on the 9th) to help out with small groups. This is an opportunity to meet one on one with prospective students, answer their questions, and tell them about your experience in grad school here. You can take the students to a coffee shop, bowling, or even for ice cream if you want (All purchases will be reimbursed).
If you want to volunteer for one of these events please let me know by next wednesday. My email is dell2@illinois.edu. I will send more details to the volunteers at the end of next week.
Also please keep your eyes open next week for an email regarding Friday festivities, which will involve showing the prospectives a fun night on the town. We may need some responsible people to drive the students to and from the bars, we will let you know next week.
Hope to hear from you soon,
Zack & the PGSA
