UCM WiSE

How to Talk to Little Girls I always bite my tongue when I meet little girls, restraining myself from telling them how darn cute and well-coiffed they are. What's wrong with that? It's our culture's standard talking-to-little-girls icebreaker, isn't it?

* Graduate School Application Panel * Tomorrow (11/16) from 3-4pm * SE 390 *

Undergrads: Thinking about applying to graduate school in a science- or engineering-related discipline? Want to meet current graduate students to hear about their experiences and get tips and advice for the applications process? The Women in Science and Engineering (WiSE) group invites you to join us for an informal panel discussion with several graduate students from the UC Merced community. Snacks and refreshments will be provided. So far, the panel includes graduate students from the following majors: Cognitive and Information Sciences, Physics and Chemistry, Psychology, and Quantitative and Systems Biology.

Are you on LinkedIn? So are we--UCSB and UCM have been working together to grow a WiSE LinkedIn group for networking, discussion and job opportunities. Feel free to join the group at the following url. http://www.linkedin.com/groups?mostPopular=&gid=3815398

UCM WiSE hopes you'll join us at any or all of our three events this week! Gayatri Premasekharan's talk is 12:30-2pm on Monday 11/14 SE 300, the Graduate School Application Panel is Wednesday 11/16 in SE 390 from 3-4 pm, and a session with Dr. Sogocio is on Thursday 11/17 from 3-4 pm in the CA room. All events include snacks! Please email [email protected] with any questions.

The panel will include current graduate students from Cognitive and Information Sciences, Physics and Chemistry, Psychology, and Quantitative and Systems Biology.

Don't let difficulty be the deciding point!

Why Science Majors Change Their Minds (It’s Just So Darn Hard) Roughly 40 percent of students planning engineering and science majors end up switching to other subjects or failing to get any degree.

We're going to have a busy 3rd week of November! Check out our website for info on three exciting new events: A graduate student talk, a graduate school application panel, and a special visit from a local medical practitioner.
