opportunity to showcase the UCSD campus, its academic departments, services
and student organizations during this important decision-making period.
Admit Day is expected to draw more than 7,000 visitors to UCSD for the day

their college of admittance, talk with students and faculty, and tour the
campus. The event is co-sponsored by the Office of Admissions and Outreach
and Associated Students of UCSD.
The day will open with a series of Welcome Sessions led by Assistant Vice
Chancellor of Enrollment Management/Registrar, Richard Backer and Director
of Admissions and Outreach, Mae Brown. Visitors will also be greeted at
each Welcome Session by Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs, Joseph Watson
and Associated Student President, Joe Leventhal. The five undergraduate
colleges will then host guests in college overview sessions designed to
introduce students and their parents to the college and its academic and
extracurricular opportunities. There will be a "Meet the Chancellor"
session from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. in the Price Center Plaza, in which
Chancellor Robert Dynes will personally greet visitors. Campus tours and
residence hall tours will be held throughout the day, along with tours of
RIMAC, and various academic departments. From 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.,
prospective students can meet representatives from student clubs and
organizations in the Library Walk area. Academic departments and student
services will join the Information Fair from 11:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Ongoing information sessions in the Price Center and Center Hall will cover
housing, money matters, majors, athletics and campus life. Faculty members
from a variety of departments will discuss academic expectations, the many
ways that students and faculty can interact, and opportunities for student
involvement in faculty research.
"Admit Day is a very important day for the university. It is an invaluable
opportunity for admitted students and their parents to meet with our
faculty, staff, students and college administrators," says Mae Brown,
UCSD's Director of Admissions and Outreach. "And for the campus community,
the day provides us with the opportunity to show these students and their
families why UCSD is such an excellent institution of higher education.
Many students have told us that they made the decision to attend UCSD based
on their positive experiences during Admit Day."
The five colleges are also hosting the following festivities and
celebrations in conjunction with Admit Day to highlight college life:
Thurgood Marshall College - Cultural Celebration; Eleanor Roosevelt
College - Windows to the World; John Muir College - Student Organization
Fair and Entertainment; Earl Warren College - Information Fair; and the
