2. The iSchool Inclusion Institute Summer 2012 Program
Application deadline: January 20 , 2012
The iSchool Inclusion Institute (i3) is offered to address a critical problem within the information sciences: a lack of diversity among its students and faculty. To foster a culture of creativity, innovation,
and collaboration across disciplines, the information schools (iSchools) must actively recruit and develop students and faculty from underrepresented segments of the population. The iSchools need a
diverse group of future leaders to take on the challenges and opportunities of the digital age. i3 is committed to developing those leaders.
Each year, approximately 20 undergraduate students from across the country are selected to become i3 Scholars. Those students undertake a year-long experience which prepares them for graduate study in the information sciences and ultimately a rewarding career that matches their interests. The i3 program includes three core components:
Four-Week Introductory Institute
Team Research Project
Two-Week Concluding Institute
Eligible: undergrads, any class year, any major; US Citizen or
permanent resident.
