This is a truly rare opportunity for students to interact on a
personal level with so many highly trained professionals from the
local community.  It will also be a good chance to join the HPA if
you have not done so and would like to.  The event is free to HPA
members with proof of membership and is $5 for the general public.
To join the HPA, there is a $30 membership that goes towards a
lifetime membership and helps the HPA sponsor events like this one.
There will also be a catered lunch where Kaplan, Princeton Review,
the UCSB Health Adivising office, and a military recruiter will be
tabling.  Check in will begin at 8:45am and if you would like good
seats we encourage people to arrive on time as it is a first come
first serve basis.  Please join the Health Professions Association
for this event on February 3,2007 in Corwin Pavilion and we hope to
see you there!
