I am writing to ask for your assistance in publicizing and spreading the word about the i3 Program to undergraduate students. The i3 Program is a set of paid, summer institutes for undergraduate students from underrepresented populations who would excel at graduate study in the Information Sciences. The i3 Program is funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and aims to increase student diversity in graduate programs at US-based Information Schools (iSchools) and to encourage those students to consider academic and professional careers within the Information Sciences. The University of Pittsburgh will host the first i3 Program in June 2011. To see what the i3 Program includes, click here to view a downloadable FAQ sheet: http://www.ischool-inclusion.org/documents/FAQ.pdf Recognizing your professional standing and connection to undergraduate students, my project team and I hope that you will review this information and share it with students and colleagues. This is a great opportunity for students looking to begin building their careers. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me via phone or email. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
