INSIDER INFO ON GRADUATE ADMISSIONS AT UC BERKELEY

INSIDER INFO ON GRADUATE ADMISSIONS AT UC BERKELEY
Wednesday, Oct. 19, 4-5:30 p.m., Googie Withers Room, 3rd Floor Library

Josephine Moreno, PH.D., Graduate Diversity Coordinator for the School of Arts and Humanities, and a colleague of Ralph Hexter's, is presenting this workshop. Her focus is on diversity students who are considering graduate studies at UC Berkeley, School of Humanities and Arts or School of Social Sciences. All students are welcome to attend.

Dr. Moreno sits on the admissions review panel for the School of Arts and Humanities, and works closely with the School of Social Sciences. She will discuss what the admissions committees look for as they read applications and how you can improve your chances of being selected. This can include the application itself for Div. III's, as well as classes and other prep that would be applicable to a Div I or Div II student.

Check out the Step by Step guidelines on this webpage.

Greetings!

I am Dr. Josephine Moreno, the Graduate Diversity Coordinator for the Arts & Humanities in the College of Letters & Science at the University of California, Berkeley. I work with prospective and continuing diversity graduate students. Prospective diversity students and I often discuss graduate school preparation, admission criteria, the admission process, and university and external funding. Continuing students are typically concerned about funding, academic issues, completing their degrees, and
personal matters.

Prospective graduate students may be interested in STEP by Step (link), an advising tool for Arts & Humanities and Social Sciences students. Although it was developed for Berkeley students, it includes valuable information for all students interested in graduate studies at Berkeley and students who desire to enrich their undergraduate experience.
_______

We hope you will come to this program, which has been arranged at the request of President Ralph Hexter. It is co-sponsored by CORC, HACU, SS, and UC-Berkeley.
