<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">We're writing to ask for your help in promoting the Berkeley History PhD Pipeline Program, an initiative that seeks to assist and empower talented college juniors, seniors, recent graduates,
and MA students from historically excluded and underrepresented backgrounds who are interested in pursuing a PhD in History.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Over the past two years, thirty fellows from across the country participated in weekly seminars on discrete topics, from what it means to get a History PhD, to how to approach the application
process. Past fellows have described our Program as an ‘invaluable experience’ that ‘answered so many questions and relieved many anxieties’ about the prospect of graduate school. Another shared that it was ‘the highlight of [their] week over the last few
months.’ We are excited to meet and learn with a new cohort of future historians.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">For 2023, our seminars will continue to be held remotely on Fridays from 10am to 12pm Pacific, beginning in March and ending in May. Over the course of the sessions, fellows can expect to meet
Berkeley faculty, PhD alumni, current graduate students, and staff. At the start of summer, we'll pair fellows with a faculty and/or a graduate student mentor for individualized support and to discuss their possible next steps.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">We would be grateful if you could share this information and the attached flyer with your colleagues and students.
