"Welcome to the UCLA GRC Chapter that my friends and I worked extraordinarily hard to build.
To all future members, we really appreciate your interest in GRC and will do everything in our power to put you in the best position to pursue your careers.
However, we believe in merit, in the sense that you get what you deserve.
Hence I urge you to work hard, respect each other, and be willing to go beyond what is necessary!
It will be tiring, but trust me, it is worth it.
Lastly, have fun and enjoy your time at GRC!
Best Wishes,
Justin"
