Dear All,

As an effort from POWUR, we are opening up a mentorship programme for
undergraduates who are keen on going to graduate school in Physics and
Astronomy Programmes.

As part of this mentorship program, we are planning to pair you up with
mentors who are current UCR grad school students to advise you on the
application process, review your essays, and more such things. We will also
be organising a seminar series on specialised topics.
We are starting this programme with our first talk in this seminar
series - *"Physics
and Astronomy Grad School Application" *with a focus on Application
Timeline, Materials, Test Scores, Essays and other things with speaker *Dr.
Alex De La Vaga* going over each topic. Alex has experience helping
first-gen students applying to REU programmes at UCR and brings his own
insights for grad school applications to the table.

Please join us at *PHYS 3035, Reading Room on May 30, Friday at 11 AM* for
the seminar and chat with Alex as well as potential mentors.

P.S. Light refreshments will be provided for in-person attendees.

See you all on Friday!
