    Hello all,

    Thanks to any of you who have expressed interest in this posting! Sadly, I experienced an email crash just now and lost two emails from people who wanted to RSVP for this. If you registered with me anytime today, please resend your emails to the address listed above just to make sure I don't lose your names.

    Thanks--I apologize for the inconvenience!

    Michelle

    Prospective Students:

    Please note that due to an overwhelming response to our invitation, registration to our Social Impact Day is now CLOSED. The interest in the event was so great that we are beyond capacity--which is both exciting and disappointing, we admit!

    You may of course still sign up for the general visit and info session through the Admissions Office and/or attend the WSI Conference on Friday, Nov 12. In either case, we wish you all the best of luck in your applications and hope to see you in WSI next year!

    Regards,

    Michelle Lee
