Dear Colleague,

The eighth annual* Berkeley Edge Conference* will be held* October 
18-21, 2007* on the University of California, Berkeley campus.  We 
invite you to recommend science, mathematics and engineering students 
for the conference.

The Berkeley Edge Conference, sponsored by the National Science 
Foundation's Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate 
(AGEP), is designed to encourage underrepresented minority students who 
are competitively eligible for our Ph.D. programs in science, math and 
engineering to apply to UC Berkeley.

If a student you recommend is chosen, UC Berkeley will provide all 
travel, lodging, and meals for your student.

The conference program includes workshops on preparing competitive 
applications for graduate admission and fellowships.  A highly valued 
aspect of the conference is the pre-arranged individual and group 
meetings with UCB faculty for each participating student in their 
department of interest. Participants also are given tours of the science 
and engineering departments and research facilities.  The National 
Laboratories in the San Francisco Bay Area-- LBNL, LLNL and Sandia, 
showcase the research opportunities they offer to Berkeley graduate 
students.  Several formal and informal sessions with current students on 
graduate studies and graduate student life at Berkeley are lively, 
informative, and enjoyable.  There are opportunities for participants to 
tour the local area.

*August 31st, 2007* is the /new/ deadline for faculty, research 
scientists, and other mentors to recommend students for the Berkeley 
Edge Conference 2007.  This is also the deadline for recommended 
students to complete their applications on-line.

To recommend your students on-line and for more information, please 
visit our web site:

_
Please let your students know that you have recommended them.  Please 
inform them that their on-line applications and transcripts are due by* 
**August 31st* at 5:00 PM Pacific Standard Time.

Thank you for your ongoing support for the Berkeley Edge and our work to 
increase diversity at the graduate level in science, mathematics and 
engineering.

Sincerely,
