Informational Meeting on Graduate Study in Political Science

Professor Sam Kernell will hold a brief informational meeting on graduate study in political science from 5:30 to 6 on Wed., October 24 in room 318. He would be happy to discuss graduate study in general and proffer tips on the application process. (Mr. Kernell has served on the department's graduate admissions committee during the past several years.) He is mainly interested, however, in stimulating interest in UCSD's nationally ranked political science program.
