PLEASE DISTRIBUTE WIDELY


Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce that the i3 admissions committee has extended
its application deadline to March 2, 2012 !

Students are still encouraged to submit their applications sooner
rather than later. The admissions committee will be prioritizing early
applications. If your students are interested in a summer internship
and gaining research experience, please encourage them to apply.


What is i3?



The iSchool Inclusion Institute (i3) is a leadership development
program that prepares undergraduate students from underrepresented
populations for graduate study in the information sciences. i3 is held
at the University of Pittsburgh in June of each year. Students
admitted to the program are immersed in special-topics workshops,
professional development seminars, and network-building opportunities.
Students receive practical guidance from faculty, career counselors,
and various industry professionals. i3 serves as a fantastic
opportunity to learn about graduate school, explore other fields of
study, and develop your career-path.
