From: Collins, Margaret [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2009 5:28 AM To: Collins, Margaret Cc: Ostchega, Avihai Subject: IIASA YSSP 2010: Summer Fellowship Opportunity for Graduate Students
To: IIASA Alumni and friends Dear Colleagues, I am writing to ask for your help in publicizing IIASA's YSSP Program for 2008. The application deadline is January 19, and we want to spread the word about this great opportunity as widely as possible. Please help by forwarding the announcement to as many appropriate graduate students, graduate department secretaries, university careers offices, and listservs as possible, and post the flyer anywhere you think a potential applicant might see it. (The information appended below is identical to the information on the flyer.) You know IIASA, so you are in an excellent position to help spread the word. Beyond passing on emails, you might consider taking YSSP material to the employment center at meetings you attend this fall, or arranging a talk about YSSP in your department or institutional careers office. Just let us know, and we'd be happy to send brochures and flyers, identify local YSSP alumni who can give talks, and help with arrangements in any way we can. The question most frequently raised concerns funding. For students selected to participate, funding is available for travel and living support, principally from IIASA's sixteen National Member Organizations (NMOs). The U.S. NMO funds both American citizens and non-citizens who are studying in the U.S. We would very much appreciate anything you can do to help get the word out. Please contact me if you have questions about U.S. participation, or Tanja Huber, IIASA's YSSP Coordinator, with general questions about the program. She can be reached at [email protected]. Very truly yours, Maggie Goud Collins Margaret R.
