Dear Ms. Porter,

 

I hope this email finds you well.  On behalf of the Office of Research and Graduate Studies in the University of California Office of the President, I am pleased to remind you of resources available at the UC graduate admissions website designed to assist students who are exploring the possibility of graduate school at UC.  Here is what you will find on the website:

 

·         An online degree search tool for all UC graduate programs.  This makes it easier for students to search the 600+ graduate degree programs offered across the ten campuses to find programs that fit their area of interest – be it civil engineering, ethnic studies, visual arts, or anything in between.  Click here to try the online tool!

 

·         Enhanced insight on applying to graduate school (including videos from the graduate student community).  Our website offers practical advice and insight on preparing for and applying to graduate school at UC (from tips on writing an effective statement of purpose to resources for financing a graduate education). 

 

·         Information on the importance of pursuing undergraduate research, as well as links to both noteworthy national programs and UC resources for finding both academic year and summer programs.

 

·         We invite you to view a PDF of our companion outreach booklet What’s next? Updated this year, the brochure provides information to current students with the goal of reaching underrepresented students and encouraging them to consider graduate school and pursue their studies at the University of California. 

 

It is my hope that these resources will prove useful to your work in supporting and advising students.  Please share this information with students as they research potential graduate programs.  I hope they will consider the outstanding opportunities available at the University of California.  Please also feel free to share this information with colleagues on your campus also working in support of students advancing their education.  For your convenience, I have included a message below that can easily be forwarded to students (should you choose to do so).  We very much appreciate your assistance in sharing this information.  If you have any questions or if I can be of assistance please do not hesitate to contact me.

 

Sincerely,

 

Pamela D. Jennings
