Attention All Currently-Recognized RGSOs Feb 6

The Office of the President, Student Association, and GSO would like to invite your student group to table at the 5th Annual UAlbany Day – Showcase at the Plaza on Monday, February 6, 2012 at the Empire State Plaza starting at 9:00 am.

The student group voted “Best Table Displays” at UAlbany Day 2012 will receive a $500 prize for 1st, $250 for 2nd, and $100 for 3rd place. Displays should focus on the diverse and exciting opportunities available at UAlbany – particularly given that we anticipate over 1,000 local K-12 students. Although there will be some high school students in attendance, the large majority of these children will be between the age 8 and 12 years old, and your displays must be age appropriate in order to participate.

Only UAlbany students will be eligible to vote. If you would like to table at UAlbany Day 2012, please email GETINVOLVED@albany.edu by Monday, January 30, 2012.

If you are not able to Table, please feel free to participate in the day’s activities at the Empire State Plaza from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. The day culminates with the President’s Evening Reception starting at 4:30 pm. Transportation will be available all day with buses running approximately every 15 minutes.

UAlbany Day 2012 is an opportunity to promote the excellence and vitality of the University at Albany. And with your participation, this year’s event promises to be the most exciting and dynamic yet!

Your presence will make a real difference in demonstrating the importance of UAlbany to the Capital Region and State of New York.

We hope to see you on February 6th at the Empire State Plaza!

Some awards are specific for individuals planning a career in medicine, science, law, government, social welfare, and other areas. IFW awards also support any University person or group developing a program for the advancement of women or women concerns. Past recipients have used IFW funding to support a variety of endeavors including study abroad projects, research travel, speakers' fees and training attendance at conferences or training workshops.
