<div dir="ltr"><font color="#000000" face="Tahoma"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font color="#000000" face="Tahoma">1) Del Norte Elementary School in Ontario (about 25-30 minutes from UCR) has requested a presentation on any topic in the life sciences for their 4th grade classes. Potential topics could include adaptation, basic ecology (food webs, ecosystem structure and function, predator/prey dynamics, etc), photosynthesis, or similar topics appropriate for 4th graders.</font></div>
<div dir="ltr"><font color="#000000" face="Tahoma"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font color="#000000" face="Tahoma">Open dates include April 30, May 1, May 3-9, and May 14-17 - it's your choice. If you're interested in helping this school out by presenting, let Bre and/or I know as soon as possible so we can put you in touch with the appropriate people. She and I are both unable to attend this event since we have prior commitments, including a visit to another school during one of the open periods, but we can give you useful materials (such as the California State Science Standards) or suggestions for lessons if you'd like. </font></div>
<div dir="ltr"><font color="#000000" face="Tahoma"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font color="#000000" face="Tahoma">2) We have received very few surveys back. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey found at </font><a href="http://ucrbsgsac.wufoo.com/forms/eeobgsa-award-survey/" target="_blank" style>http://ucrbsgsac.wufoo.com/forms/eeobgsa-award-survey/</a>. This information will help us craft a competitive application on behalf of EEOBGSA for the Student Life Student Organization Awards. Earning one of these awards is more than just a feather in our collective cap - such awards help our faculty apply for competitive grants like the GAANN, which provide funding to support a number of graduate students. We need your responses by this Friday, April 27 at 5pm in order to have time to complete an application. Many thanks to those who have already completed surveys!</div>
