Greetings from the USC Viterbi School of Engineering.  We hope this letter finds you well.

The application is now open for our spring REACH<http://gapp.usc.edu/REACH> event for prospective Ph.D. students taking place April 3-4, 2014 in Los Angeles.

REACH brings to the University of Southern California campus talented students from all over the U.S. and Canada who are interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in an engineering field. This event is particularly geared toward students from backgrounds that are historically underrepresented in the field of engineering: African-American, Latino and Native American. Female students are also highly encouraged to apply. Travel expenses to and from Los Angeles, hotel lodging, and meals are subsidized by the Viterbi School.

Juniors with a background in engineering, mathematics or a physical science (such as physics, chemistry or biology) are invited to apply to the spring REACH event. As a selected participant, students will attend presentations by faculty about doctoral research opportunities; tour the USC campus and the engineering facilities; meet with current students to learn about graduate student life; and attend workshops on applying for Ph.D. admission and funding graduate study. This experience will provide participants a unique opportunity to gain valuable tools and resources to prepare for application to doctoral programs upon graduation. (Please note: Only citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. or Canadian citizens are eligible to apply)

I encourage you to share this message with your talented students. Interested students can visit the REACH webpage<http://gapp.usc.edu/REACH> for more information and to submit an application to attend the event. The deadline to apply is March 3, 2014.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have.
Sincerely,

Laura Hartman
