Inquiry for Student Performers for Undergraduate Research Hub event

To celebrate the amazing achievement that 150+ UC San Diego McNair alumni have received their Ph.D., the Undergraduate Research Hub will be hosting an event called "McNair 150: Celebrating our UC San Diego McNair Ph.D. Alumni." This event will include alumni speakers, including a panel discussion, focusing on topics such as the meaning, impact, and legacy of the McNair Program. The Undergraduate Research Hub is looking for 1-2 student groups to perform while people show up (~12:15pm-12:30pm) and during 2 breaks (10-15 minutes). Given the short time frames for the performances, they are looking for smaller student groups that can set up/takedown in a shorter time frame. The event is Saturday, April 23^rd from 12:00PM-4:00PM in The Forum.
