Be an ambassador for the CSE graduate programs!

The CSE Graduate Admissions Committee has approved a program called Recruit-at-Home under which current CSE PhD students can apply to travel to their alma maters to present a recruitment talk. Under the program, up to $800 in qualifying trip expenses can be reimbursed. Pre-approval is required.

Expenses may include travel and light refreshments provided during the talk. Alcohol may not be served.

Presenters will be asked to collect sign-ins from attendees. Sign-ins are required for us to continue this program.
