***************************************************************************************

Dear colleague,

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 at any academic institution.

Over the past three years, over forty fellows from across the country participated in weekly seminars on discrete topics, from what it means to be a historian 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.’ Our program has been featured on AHA's Perspectives on History<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.historians.org/research-and-publications/perspectives-on-history/may-2023/the-berkeley-pipeline-program-demystifying-the-history-phd-for-students-from-historically-excluded-backgrounds__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!g32zfrVmTLwJE9NZLbhsHv7zzkkGq475WGShI_s5FacyoK6OwCBDSndofVvtLY4s21WUYUrHN3ggioS2X8Rl75kYO8tcPfc$>. We are excited to meet and learn with a new cohort of future historians.

For 2024, our seminars begin in March and end 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.

We would be grateful if you could share this information and the attached flyer with your colleagues and students. The application for the program can be found at the website linked here<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/forms/d/1nO8xjhhSAI66r830YEeQnL5wW2QHYVy5IanLu91ww74/edit?usp=drive_web__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!g32zfrVmTLwJE9NZLbhsHv7zzkkGq475WGShI_s5FacyoK6OwCBDSndofVvtLY4s21WUYUrHN3ggioS2X8Rl75kYe1Yf1V4$>. Applications are due at 11:59 pm Pacific on Friday, February 16, 2024.
