Hi UBSers,

I’m reaching out to you because the Deloitte recruiting team is hosting an event in conjunction with TOMS and as a member of UBS, we would like to invite you to attend. To give you some background, each year TOMS Inc. holds an international event called One Day Without Shoes (ODWS) to raise awareness of the impact a pair of shoes can have on a child’s life. This year the event will be held on Tuesday, April 10, and the LA recruiting team is partnering with TOMS to help organize an event at UCLA to draw attention to this worthwhile cause.

Our recruiting team is working with UCLA students to organize a booth on UCLA’s campus on Tuesday, April 10th and we are hoping to have practitioners, interested candidates and other UCLA students to attend. If you are available, we would be thrilled if you can join us and support this great cause. Below are the event details:

Who: Deloitte practitioners, new hires and prospective candidates
Where: UCLA Campus, Bruin Walk
When: Tuesday, April 10th, 10-11AM

Additionally, we will be taking a group picture at 10:45AM at the booth. We want to show TOMS and the UCLA community our support for this event, so if you and anyone else that you think would be interested are able to be there at 10:45AM, we would really appreciate it!

If you have any questions, please reach out to Todd Grover (tgrover[at]deloitte.com) or Seiyonne Suriyakumar (ssuriyakumar[at]deloitte.com).

Thank you in advance for your help!

Best,
Taleen Sarkissian
