Jacobs School of Rock...is Always in Session

Engineering and art are deeply intertwined at the Jacobs School, and the annual music jam—called The Jacobs School of Rock—is just one example. The concert fills Porter’s Pub with energy at the end of every spring quarter, but you don’t have to wait until next June to soak up the Jacobs School’s music scene. A number of its bands, including SO3 and Juna, regularly perform in San Diego. Check out the Jacobs School of Rock website for links to band websites with concert schedules and the latest downloads: http://jsor.ucsd.edu. The bands thank Yahoo! for their support in 2009.

Jacobs School bands also appear on soundtracks for promotional videos. The video about undergrads studying space pee features a track by Juna whose vocalist, Carolina Galleguillos, is a computer science Ph.D. student advised by computer science professor Serge Belongie, the frontman for SO3.
