-All groups/faculty will receive bills from the department
asking for donations to help pay for recruitment weekend.
-85 offers were made to US students. There were 260 applications
from international students. They have not yet made all of their
decisions yet about the international students.
Weekend of March 13-14. There will be around 35 US students. The
format will be similar to last year's, with student lectures
and overviews of the research groups in the morning on Saturday.
The turnout of the faculty is very important, perhaps the most
important factor in the students' decisions about whether to
choose UT. Dr. Fitzpatrick urges the professors to email him to
tell him when they will be around on Saturday.
Dr. Shih has decided to stay at UT. He was offered a position at
Michigan State University which he declined.
