March 15-30- National Merit Recruitment (All regions) - Alumni volunteers

have had a tremendous impact on the success of the merit scholar program at

enrolled at UCSD. If you would like to participate, contact Mary Johnson at

country. Students and parents want to hear from UCSD alums on why they
should choose UCSD. This event will be one of the deciding factors in
determining if some of the brightest students in the Bay Area will attend
UCSD. So we need your help to ensure UCSD consistently attracts the best
