 Dear Colleague,

*UC Berkeley is pleased to announce a new application deadline of September
8 for the eleventh annual Berkeley Edge Conference, October 7-10, 2010. 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.

The application deadline is September 8, 2010 for faculty, research
scientists, and other mentors to recommend students for the Berkeley Edge
Conference 2010. This is also the deadline for recommended students to
complete their applications on-line. Applications will be reviewed on a
first come, first served basis and students will be informed of their
application status in late-September. An emergency deadline may be
established for those students on the quarter system, and will be published
in late-August.
To recommend your students on-line and for more information, please visit
our website:

Please let your students know that you have recommended them.  Please inform
them that their on-line applications and transcripts are due by September 8
at 11:59 PM Pacific Standard Time.

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

Sincerely,
Colette Patt, Ph.D., Director
NSF-AGEP/Berkeley Edge Program
