Help publicize the CUNY Pipeline Program
Please help us spread word to all of your graduate students who were teaching out at the various CUNY campuses as adjuncts so they can inform their undergrad students about the Pipeline Program via email, Blackboard, etc.
In a nutshell, the Pipeline Program is a CUNY-wide initiative designed to provide educational and financial support to CUNY undergraduates from groups currently underrepresented in our nation’s Ph.D. programs, and thus the professoriate. We try to recruit sophomores and juniors but we also want to tell younger students so they can apply in later years.
You’ll find more info about the Pipeline program at diversiphd.com. If you have any questions or would like to learn more, we’d love to meet with you and tell you all about it.
Below is some sample text your grad students can use.
Thank you so much for your help with this important work!

Hello Students,
I’d like to pass on a great opportunity for those of you interested in getting a PhD: The CUNY Pipeline Program offered at The a Graduate Center, CUNY.
The Pipeline Program is a CUNY-wide initiative designed to provide educational and financial support to CUNY undergraduates from groups currently underrepresented in our nation’s universities, and interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in preparation for college-level teaching and advanced research.
It consists of a 6-week intensive summer institute in which fellows take a research seminar in either the social sciences or the humanities designed to introduce them to graduate-level work and research skills. They also take courses on critical thinking and writing, Grad School 101, and intensive GRE preparation. The following fall and spring semesters include monthly meetings with graduate student mentors and a spring semester research conference where fellows present a research project.
Applications are due March 1, 2015.
