[Bgsa] Fw: Outreach opportunity for grads from Mary Droser

[Brian Gray]

Hi Everyone,

Rich asked that I forward this on - there is an awesome outreach opportunity
available if you're interested!  There aren't a lot of details available
yet, but the program would start in fall quarter and end in the middle of
winter quarter.  Dr. Droser has told me that there will be a meeting on
Wednesday at noon where she will cover the rest of the details of the
program.

If any other details become available before then, I'll be sure to pass them
on.

Brian




Hi Brian:

Please see below.  Mary is looking for some graduate students to serve as
mentors for kids.  It also comes with a small stipend.  Please pass the word
ASAP and have them contact Mary Droser (mary.droser at ucr.edu).  She needs to
have commitments by Tuesday.

Thanks.

Rich
