Virtual Caltech Shines Event – Date TBD!

Caltech Shines is a virtual program designed to introduce you to the larger Caltech community. While you have been accepted into a specific graduate option, you will be joining the broader intellectual and social environment at Caltech. During Caltech Shines you will learn more about campus-wide resources, meet with campus affinity groups, and have an opportunity to ask any lingering questions from students and faculty in your chosen option. Attendance at this event is entirely voluntary, but it will provide you with the opportunity to meet students from other options as well as ask questions that may help you in your upcoming decision.
