Hi all,<br><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="gmail_quote"><div> Over the past few years, I've made it an annual tradition to go to visit the Capitol in Sacramento. This year I will be going up on February 28th-March 1st for UC Day. In addition to sharing my own experience, I'd be happy to share some of your thoughts from your perspective as graduate students (as TAs, Researchers, and involvement with other aspects in your community). In particular, offer your thoughts on the impact the proposed state budget cuts to the UC will have (on you, the department, etc) and why state funding support is critical to you. I can fold them into some of my talking points and compile a list with your remarks, or have leave-behind packets for our state representatives and their staff (I'd be happy to disseminate any EEOB pamphlets/brochures/etc). As of this moment, I am not sure which exact offices I will be visiting but I will be sure to keep you updated. I look forward to your input. </div>
