[Inna Gergel]

>> We seek your help in identifying and encouraging current UCLA  
>> undergraduate students to apply for participation in UC LEADS   
>> (Leadership Excellence through Advanced Degrees), a prestigious  
>> two-year, UC systemwide program for promising sophomores and  
>> transfer students (planning to graduate in 2010) interested in  
>> pursuing graduate degrees and research careers in the science,  
>> technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) fields.
>>
>> UC LEADS Scholars receive substantial financial support and engage  
>> in research under the supervision of a faculty mentor during the  
>> academic years and summers. They also participate in seminars to  
>> assist them in identifying and applying to graduate programs,  
>> financing their graduate education, seeking extramural  
>> fellowships, preparing and presenting poster sessions, etc. The  
>> scholars also attend and present their work at national  
>> professional society meetings. UC LEADS alums have begun graduate  
>> studies at UCLA,  UCB, UCD, UCSD, MIT, Princeton, Stanford, Cal  
>> Tech, etc.
>>
>> Eligible students are those in an undergraduate degree program in  
>> the physical, life, or computer sciences; engineering;
