ANNOUNCEMENTS
1ST GENERAL BODY MEETING
Wednesday,
April 15th, 8:00 – 9:00 pm PC Theater
We have
three guest speakers for GBM1:
1) Brian Zeglen, the Director of Admissions at UCSD Medical
School. If there is
anyone who knows what it takes to get into medical school, its this guy. Learn
what medical schools are looking for in applicants and the do's and dont's of
applying.
He will have a short lecture and then be answering all of our questions.
2) Princeton Review will be dropping by to tell us about their deals
on the MCAT and they may have some prizes for us.
3) Carlo Flascha, current UCSD undergraduate student, current AP Stats tutor at
Preuss, current Director of Tutoring Services (DOTS) at the Academic Success
Program (ASP), current PASS member, and teaching aficionado will be chatting
with us about volunteer opportunities with ASP (Academic Success Program). ASP
is committed to providing free retention programs and services that help
undergraduates financially, socially, and academically. As a tutor, you would
help many undergrads stay in college.
As always you may pick up your shirt and pay your dues.
Food and drink will be provided!
OFFICER APPLICATIONS
END DATE:
April 24th
As Officers in PASS, we hope that you have

We’re hoping to provide even greater experiences in the future to all
our members! Therefore, for all of you interested, Officer Applications for

that many med schools look for.

STUDY CRAM!!! ***(Date
subject to change)
Coordinator:
Isadore Tarantino (izzy@ucsdpass.org)
Saturday, June 6th, 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Finals
are just a few days from
this date
and I am giving everyone the opportunity to earn social points for STUDYING!!
That’s right, you read it correctly, social points for studying! Come on down
to UCSD campus and get your studying on before those darn Finals. Enjoy a
great morning of cramming in those last few hours of reading inside the
Biomedical library at UCSD before the big tests. The great thing
about this social is that there will be other PASS members there that I bet are
even in those same horrible/dreadful classes that you are taking. This
means that is not only a social but a free group study session if needed.
Feel free to come and study for an hour, grab a bite to eat and head on back to
some more terrific studying!

International House in ERC college, this fundraiser aims to donate money to
this particular NGO.

2.) Dinner will be served ~6:30pm
3.) We are inviting various performers/speaker to perform and the program will
