Students at Cal State Long Beach will have
the opportunity to visit with graduate schools
from across the country during the Graduate
and Professional Schools Day Monday from
10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
CSULB will host between 95 and 100 graduate
and professional schools. The event will
have a fair type atmosphere and will feature
representatives from various schools.
The event’s purpose is to have representatives
from graduate and professional schools discuss
admission procedures, financial aid and
other opportunities with students at CSULB.
“This is a good way for the students to
make contact with the school of their choice.
They can ask questions, get names of people
to contact, and network in various ways,”
she added.
The University of Notre Dame, John Hopkins
University School of Nursing, Hawaii Pacific
University, Finch University/School College
of Pediatric Medicine, UC Davis, CSU Hayward,
American College of Traditional Chinese,
UC Berkeley, Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara/School
of Medicine, UC San Francisco, UC San Diego
and will all have representatives on campus
for the students to speak with personally.
The event marks the beginning of a circuit
of the graduate school information days.
Several schools will hold this same type
of event in October, but CSULB’s event is
the only one hosted by the Educational Opportunity
Program.
The graduate schools response has been impressive.
“I am impressed with all the schools that
are traveling here, especially after the
events of 9/11,” said Bobbie Rodgers, EOP
counselor and coordinator of the event.
USC will have 10 departments represented,
UCLA will have eight departments, and the
University of Michigan will send four departments.
CSULB will have approximately 10 departments
represented.
“We don’t overlook our graduate schools,”
Rodgers said. “The deans of our departments
are invited to share what we have to offer
here at Cal Long Beach.
