PLEASE DISTRIBUTE WIDELY:
UCSB LINGUISTICS SNEAK PEEK GRADUATE RECRUITMENT EVENT TOWARD A DIVERSE AND INCLUSIVE LINGUISTICS

On November 3, 2022, the Department of Linguistics at UC Santa Barbara will offer a virtual Sneak Peek workshop to support excellent graduate applicants from underrepresented communities as they prepare for the application deadline of November 21st.

The University of California recognizes the variety of personal experiences, values and worldviews that arise from differences of culture and circumstance. Such diversity in the UC student body is integral to the University's achievement of excellence. Santa Barbara Sneak Peek is aimed at graduate students who bring an understanding of the experiences of groups historically underrepresented in higher education, including but not limited to those who have been minoritized on the basis of race/ethnicity, gender identity/expression, disability, and/or socioeconomic background. We encourage participation from individuals who meet the eligibility criteria for admission and represent cultural, linguistic, geographic, and socioeconomic backgrounds not adequately represented in the graduate student population.
 
Participants in Santa Barbara Sneak Peek will learn about the UCSB Linguistics graduate program, how to create a strong application for a graduate program in linguistics, and learn more about department members and academic and research opportunities currently happening in our department.
 
If you are planning to apply to UCSB and meet the criteria discussed above, please register to receive a Zoom link for the event on November 3. Registration is open until full; advance registration by Wednesday, Nov. 2 is preferred.
