Calit2 Graduate Fellows Convene Over Ice Cream
By Anna Lynn Spitzer
10.12.04 -- Life was sweet for 12 UC Irvine Calit² graduate fellows one recent autumn afternoon. The incoming fellows for the new academic year were treated to a get-acquainted ice cream social on campus, where they met each other and institute directors. Albert Yee, Irvine division director, and Larry Smarr, institute director, gave short presentations to the students before taking them on a tour of the still-under-construction-but-nearly-completed UCI Calit² building.
