Dear Transfer Coordinators,

The Student Transfer Opportunity and Mentorship Program（STOMP）in conjunction with the Undergraduate Office of Admissions and Relations with Schools, is hosting the 13th annual STOMP Conference.  A program designed to introduce all community college students, particularly those from underrepresented populations（i.e. African American, Chicano/Latino, Native American, Southeast Asian/Pacific Islander, and Veterans）, who are low income and/or first generation college students to the UCLA community.  We would like to extend an invitation to you and the students at your community college to attend this event.  The program will take place on Friday, April 27, 2012 from 8:30AM to 4:00PM in the Ackerman Union Grand Ball Room.

The goal of the event is to familiarize these students with the UCLA campus and the resources available to them.  The program will include information on admissions and selection criteria, the application process and the corresponding deadlines.  In addition, we want to inform students about the diverse academic, social and cultural opportunities at UCLA.  We would also like to acquaint students with the many departments and majors available at UCLA.  We encourage students to continue to utilize the many resources available to them throughout their college career beginning with our outreach efforts, continuing with our support services and culminating with their graduation.

Beginning March 19th through April 25th students and staff will be able to RSVP at the following link：http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/stompconference/default.htm. This website also has information on parking costs and directions for individuals as well as parking and drop-off locations for buses.

If you have any other questions, please contact us at stomp@saonet.ucla.edu or call（310）206-8118. Leave the name of your name, community college, and a telephone number or email address where we can reach you.  Thank you for your support!

Please distribute this invitation to other departments on your campus which help to support students that you feel would benefit from attending the STOMP Conference（Puente, EOPS, etc.）.

We look forward to seeing you on April 27, 2012.

Sincerely,

Elliot Fox and Delroy Sargeant
