The UCLA Student Transfer Opportunity and Mentorship Program (STOMP), in conjunction with Undergraduate Admissions and Relations with Schools, is hosting the 13th annual STOMP Conference. The conference will take place on Friday, April 27, 2012 from 8:30AM to 4:00PM in the Ackerman Union Grand Ballroom at UCLA. The goal of the event is to familiarize these students with the UCLA campus and the resources available to them. The program will include information on admissions and selection criteria, the application process and the corresponding deadlines. In addition, we want to inform students about the diverse academic, social and cultural opportunities at UCLA. We would also like to acquaint students with the many departments and majors available at UCLA. We encourage students to continue to utilize the many resources available to them throughout their college career beginning with our outreach efforts, continuing with our support services and culminating with their graduation. Beginning March 19th, students and staff will be able to RSVP at the following link: http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/stompconference/default.htm.
