FYI. Particularly of interest to anyone considering MD/PhD programs.
Dear LSAMP Colleagues:
The Indiana University Graduate School would like to make you aware of our
fall recruitment program, "Getting You into IU" for promising minority
students who are underrepresented in doctoral studies in the natural and
physical sciences, mathematics and technology disciplines. The recruitment
event will held Wednesday, October 1 through Saturday, October 4, 2008, at
Indiana University on the Bloomington and Indianapolis campuses.
Invited students will participate in a number of activities designed to
provide insight into life as a graduate student and allow them to make an
informed decision about pursuing their graduate degree at IU. Recruits will
also be paired up with current graduate students from their prospective
graduate program. Indiana University Graduate School will provide all
travel, lodging, and meals for the students selected for this program.
We invite faculty, research scientists and other mentors to nominate
undergraduate or masters-level students wanting to apply to a PhD program

"Getting You into IU" is sponsored in part by the National Science
Foundation's Midwest Crossroads Alliance for Graduate Education and the
Professoriate (AGEP) program at IU. This program is designed to encourage
underrepresented minority students who are competitively eligible for Ph.D.
programs in the STEM disciplines to apply to Indiana University. The
recruitment program includes:
* Sessions on preparing competitive applications for graduate
admission and fellowships
* Pre-arranged individual and group meetings with IU faculty arranged
separately for each participating student
* Opportunity to sit in on classes in their discipline of interest
* Tours of the STEM departments and research facilities
* Formal and informal sessions with current graduate students to talk
about the degree programs and graduate student life at Indiana University
* Tours of the local area including Lotus World Music
<http://www.lotusfest.org/> Festival in Bloomington and Circle City Classic
<http://www.circlecityclassic.com/> in Indianapolis
Applications are invited from LSAMP students who are US citizens and
permanent residents.
Thursday, August 28, 2008, is the deadline for faculty, research scientists
and other mentors to recommend students for the "Getting You into IU"
program. To recommend your LSAMP students on-line, fill out the online
recommendation form at
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=7u6mrVeSV4o2tB0kClH3TA_3d_3d. Please
