As discussed in class today, there is a special event for ACE students this Friday. The annual DuBois Event presents the idea of grad school to ACE students in their first year, in hopes of providing a long-term look at educational opportunities.
The festivities start at 2:30 in the Harbor Room at the UCEN, where former UCSB grad student/TA John Gamber will give his keynote address, after which a graduate student panel will offer some words of encouragement to the crowd. Please be on time to receive the extra credit...
After that, there is a reception at the African American and American Indian Cultural Center (AAAIICC), building 434, EOP. There will be pizza and soda (yes, there will be food...) as well as a variety of graduate student roundtables.
At 6:00, there will be a poetry reading by Nila NorthSun, who will read for about 20-30 minutes, and then we’ll turn the ‘mic” over to students (and anyone else that wants to read). And yes, there is another point of extra credit for sticking around and taking part for this portion, too...
This is a really valuable experience--I usually don't offer extra credit, to be honest...but I'm not so naive as to not realize it is a Friday afternoon... See you there...
