Greetings
from the USC Viterbi School of Engineering. I hope this letter finds
you well.
The
Viterbi School is pleased
to announce
its
annual REACH
event for prospective Ph.D. students, October 24-25, 2013.
REACH
brings to the University of Southern California campus talented students
from all over the U.S. who are considering pursuing a Ph.D. in an
engineering field. This event is particularly geared toward students from
backgrounds that are historically underrepresented in the field of
engineering: African-American, Latino and Native American. Travel expenses
to and from Los Angeles, hotel lodging, and meals are subsidized by the
Viterbi School.
Students
with a background in engineering, mathematics, or a physical science who
are entering their junior year in fall 2013 are invited to apply to REACH.
As a selected participant, students will attend presentations by faculty
about doctoral research opportunities; tour the USC campus and the
engineering facilities; meet with current students to learn about graduate
student life; and attend workshops on applying for PhD admission and
funding graduate study. This experience will provide participants a unique
opportunity to gain valuable tools and resources to prepare for
application to doctoral programs upon graduation.
I
encourage you to share this message with your talented students. They can
visit the REACH webpage
for more information and to complete an interest form (application will
open in summer 2013).
