Hi All, Our Ph.D. program in Organizational Science at UNC Charlotte sponsors a summer institute to provide mentorship and training to students from traditionally underrepresented racial/ethnic groups on graduate life in the organizational disciplines. The mission of the Organizational Science Summer Institute (OSSI) is to diversify the pipeline for graduate education. * OSSI pairs students with faculty and graduate student mentors who work on a specific research project during the weeklong institute. * Participants also: > * Receive free GRE test preparation; > * Work with outside scholars and practitioners from the various disciplines; and > * Receive training on, for example, how to apply for graduate school, what graduate life is actually like, and how to present research effectively. * The institute provides participants with a monetary stipend, travel support, and free food and housing. Would you please forward this email to high potential undergraduate students you think might be good candidates for grad study and have an interest in organizations. * Ideal OSSI Fellows are sophomore/junior level in college, interested in organizations, and are members of an underrepresented student population. * The 2011 Org Science Institute will be held May 22-27. * The application deadline for fellows is December 3rd, 2010. Additional information can be found at http://ossi.uncc.edu/ . Also, feel free to let me know about any questions you may have. Thanks in advance for your assistance with this program.
