Hi all,

Prospective MSE grad students will be visiting our department on Thursday and Friday, Feb. 21-22, and we wanted to let you know about the activities that we have planned and how you can get involved!

See the attached flyer and details below, and be sure to sign up for events you plan to attend by Tuesday, Feb. 19 (sign-up sheets will be located by Lisa's desk in the MSE main office). We hope you can make it to one or all of the events!

If you have any questions or want to help out with the visit, please email Val ([email-masked]).

Thanks!
