Thursday we all piled into vans and trucks and headed south to UC Riverside. After taking the scenic tour of the campus (ie: getting lost walking around) we arrived at the VisLab were PhD candidate Rui Li have us a tour of their research facilities. After that we went to the bookstore to pick up some goodies (like Ninja and Pirate bandaids) before heading to the housing office to get set up for the night. After students were paired with their Ambassadors we went to the dining commons. Have you ever seen young men in an All-You-Can-Eat dining hall? We sure got our $3 worth!!

On tomorrow’s agenda? A campus tour of UCR before heading south for the UC SanDiego Supercomputer Center where one of their research scientists will give us a tour of their facilities. Tonight we are spending the night in Lake Forest. Can anyone say LAGUNA BEACH??
