<div>I am writing to tell you about<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://deshawdiscoveryfellowship.com/"><font color="blue"><u>D. E. Shaw Discovery Fellowship 2016</u></font></a>, a unique educational opportunity taking place at our New
York City headquarters from May 24 to 26. We believe you are well positioned to identify and suggest top candidates who might be interested in applying for this opportunity. Given the historical underrepresentation of women in the alternative investment industry,
we have designed a program to bring together talented and intellectually curious women who have just completed their sophomore year of undergraduate studies (Class of 2018) at a U.S. college or university. These students will have the opportunity to apply
their analytical skills in discussions with our investment professionals, attend lectures given by senior leaders and outside speakers, and interact with a cross-section of D. E. Shaw senior managers and employees, including Anne Dinning, a member of our Executive
Committee. Participants will receive a $1,500 stipend, accommodations, and travel to and from New York City.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you have some students who may be interested in and available for this opportunity, there are two ways you can help. You can 1) nominate students via the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://deshawdiscoveryfellowship.com/"><font color="blue"><u>website</u></font></a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>and
2) spread the word to eligible students in your classes or department and encourage them to<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://deshawdiscoveryfellowship.com/"><font color="blue"><u>apply</u></font></a>. We are accepting applications
on a rolling basis until March 15, 2016. Thank you in advance for any help! Please feel free to reach out directly with any questions.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best,</div>
