Cal Connect 2008!



Hang tight... cuz we're heading into the new school year!

I'm here to introduce something called Cal Connect, which is a series of receptions hosted by Kairos and California Alumni Association for the past two years to welcome incoming freshmen to Cal. This year, Rick and Sue Yi joined with a team of students and alumni will be more than happy to answer any questions the incoming freshmen may have or just extend a warm welcome. We will be hosting a reception for students in the Alameda County from Fremont, Union City, and Newark on Thursday, August 14.



Some of our Cal representatives include Kevin - a current junior from the HAAS School of Business, James - a current senior double majoring in Integrative Biology and Economics, Bethany - a current junior in Peace and Conflict Studies and some of our alumni including Tony, Grace, Yang, and Ernestine with majors ranging from the computer science to the environmental fields. Last but not least, Sue graduated with a degree in Sociology and Rick in Cognitive Science.

Things are bustling in our neck of the woods - we've mailed the postcards, set up the RSVP sites, and are now going around campus to pick up brochures from many departments and getting ready to answer questions like, "What are the best places to eat or to study.... or both?" "What can I do during that one hour between class?" "How do I survive in a triple dorm room?" "Where's a cheap place to buy books?"



So what's next? Come join us! We'll be at a nearby Starbucks in Fremont next Thursday 7pm. See you there!
