A call for students from under-represented backgrounds (especially students of color and first-generation college students) who have the potential for graduate study in political science:
UW-Madison Political Science department’s second annual diversity visiting day is on Friday, April 24, 2020. Visiting day is intended to increase the diversity of applicants to political science Ph.D. programs by reaching out to students in under-represented groups who might not otherwise consider graduate school. The intention is to reach out to students relatively earlier in their academic career (current juniors and perhaps seniors who have not yet applied to graduate school).
During the visiting day, students will participate in conversations with our faculty and graduate students about current political science research as well as about applying to graduate school, graduate school life, and post-graduate school career paths. They will focus especially on how to navigate academia and the support networks available to first-generation graduate students and students from underrepresented backgrounds.
This year’s visiting day will be on Friday, April 24, 2020. Participants will travel to Madison on Thursday and return on Saturday. All expenses related to transportation, housing, and dining will be covered. Interested students should send a cover letter, transcript (unofficial is fine), and a letter of recommendation to shelef@wisc.edu by February 15, 2020.
Please feel free to contact the above email if you have any questions.
