| * Early/Mid October: Hold an "Applying to Grad School" night for the majors. Get 3-4 first or second year grad students to serve as panelists, and start a discussion about the General GRE, Physics GRE, letters of rec, the essay, where to apply, etc. Distribute copies of practice Physics GREs, which you can get from the previous Undergraduate Liaison. Order pizzas for this event; the department will reimburse you. | * Early/Mid September: Hold an "Applying to Grad School" night for the majors.
