Dear Colleagues, 

 

            Howard University in cooperation with the Atlantic-Coast Social
Behavioral and Economic Sciences AGEP (NSF funded) will sponsor a Graduate
School Visitation and Undergraduate Research Program from September 20-22,
2009 on the Howard University Campus in Washington, DC. Please share
information about this opportunity with your colleagues and students. 

 

            During the visitation, students will tour the Howard campus,
visit laboratories, interact with faculty who make funding and admissions
decisions, and  graduate students and experience a sampling of life at
Howard and in Washington, DC. Students will also have the opportunity to
showcase their own research. All expenses for travel, lodging, food and
social events will be paid by the Howard University SBE AGEP. The
application deadlines are September 3, 2009 (Visitation Program Application)
& September 8, 2009 (Abstract Submission). Please see attached documents for
details on the application process or visit www.gs.howard.edu/sbe .

 

                The AC-SBE Alliance is designed to increase the number of
underrepresented minorities who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents
completing the Ph.D. in SBES (social, behavioral and economic sciences)
disciplines. It also seeks to increase the number of individuals in these
disciplines who will pursue careers in the professoriate. Applicants must be
recommended by a faculty member, be in their junior or senior year and have
a minimum cumulative 3.2 GPA. 

 

            I would like to thank you in advance for assisting us in
disseminating this information. Please direct all inquiries to Dr. Kamilah
Woodson at [log in to unmask] or Ms. Koren Bedeau at [log in to unmask] or
call 202 806 6800.  

 

Sincerely,

 

Orlando L Taylor, Ph.D. 

Vice Provost for Research 
 and Dean, Graduate School

PI, AC-SBE AGEP

 

Please note that acceptance to this program does not guarantee acceptance to
Howard University. However, participation in the program places students on
the inside track for acceptance due to opportunities to interact with
admission staff and financial aid decision makers. Apply asap because space
is limited!
