<blockquote type="cite" cite>We have a great group of schools
participating in the Virtual Graduate School Fair on October 13, but
so far the student/alumni registration numbers are lower than we would
like. I would welcome your help in spreading the word to students,
departments and any alumni you encounter. Below I have listed all of
the schools participating, but feel free to highlight or only include
those that would be of greatest interest to your specific liaison
groups.</blockquote>
