Dear
TRiO Colleagues,
Stanford
University and TRiO programs such as McNair and SSS have the similar goal of
increasing the diversity, educating, and training of the next generation of
global leaders. For Stanford, this also includes a commitment to
increasing the diversity of our graduate student body. We believe that by
reaching out to program directors, faculty, and administrators across the
country we can initialize a partnership that will help to further encourage and
prepare ethnically, economically and educationally diverse undergraduates for a
doctoral (PhD) education at Stanford.
The
Stanford Diversity Outreach for Doctoral Education – Centers of Influence
Recruitment Retreat (STANDOUT-COIRR) is a two-day program that aims to
support program directors, coordinators, faculty and administrators that work
with diverse undergraduates in preparation for doctoral studies. The
Stanford University Schools of Medicine, Humanities & Sciences,
Engineering, and Earth Sciences invite you to register for this event, which
will take place on Thursday October 8th
- Friday October 9th at Stanford
University in Palo Alto, California (30 minutes south of San Francisco).
As
a participant, you will have the opportunity to hear from Stanford faculty,
staff, and current graduate students about PhD studies at Stanford and take the
information that you learn back to your students. You will also have the
opportunity to inform Stanford of how to best partner with your program to
ensure recruitment success. Workshops will include an overview of
Stanford’s doctoral programs and resources for diverse populations, roles
in the recruitment and application process, what makes a competitive
application, and how applications are reviewed.
Accommodations
and meals will be paid for by Stanford University. A $35 registration fee
and travel expenses are the responsibility of the attendee.
Participation is limited to space available and one representative per school
program, so please register early and by September 10, 2009.
Registration and more information about the program can be found at http://vpge.stanford.edu/diversity/coi.html
Thank
you and we look forward to seeing you soon.
