1) Come In Now ? Early AC Advising
Come In Now ? Early AC Advising
Come in now for your early AC advising.
It?s been super quiet around here, so don?t delay.
If you need to declare, get on it!
The details are on the Legal Studies website.
If you?ve already declared, you?ll need a new advisor code for Fa12.
Once you are officially declared, each semester you need a new four digit advisor code from me in order to get into Telebears. As long as you sign up for units during Phase I, you don?t need the code for Phase II.
If the College ?blocks? your registration because you are too close to being a senior, you?ll need to declare to be unblocked.
So far 23 of you have come in! Yay! Thank you!
There are 177 more of you who still need to come in.
Please spread yourselves out.
Don?t wait until telebears starts.
Don?t wait until after midterms are over.
Come in now!
If you come in early, I?ll e-mail your code to you when its becomes available.
Thank Yoooooooou!!!!

The Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship (MMUF) program at UC Berkeley targets students with exceptional academic promise in selected humanities and social sciences disciplines with goals to be faculty that will contribute to diversity and equal opportunity in the academy. The program supports Fellows with academic year and summer stipends, research support, and travel monies to enhance their undergraduate years and provides faculty and graduate student mentoring, guidance on graduate school and professional development skills to be competitive for the best graduate schools. The MMUF program selects undergraduates with four semesters remaining at Berkeley. With both intellectual and professional development support Fellows can realize their greatest potential as graduate students and later extraordinarily successful faculty members and role models for future generations.

Pre-IMSD Summer Research
The Pre-IMSD (Initiative for Maximizing Student Development) Summer Research Program provides an
introductory research experience in the labs of UC Berkeley faculty members for students who want

Projects this summer include the fields of molecular biology, developmental biology, behavioral endocrinology, biogeography, and toxicology.
The program runs from May 29 ? August 3, 2012 and includes:
??????? Paid research in selected faculty labs
??????? Seminars and workshops on research
careers and professional development topics

Benefits include:
* Significant funding for research over 1-2 years (IMSD) or 2 years (MARC), including a salary/stipend, conference travel, and lab supply award
* Professional development activities to help students get into grad school and become successful scientific leaders
* Individualized academic, personal, and career advising, including help with graduate school applications
* Leadership, service, and mentoring opportunities to help diversify the sciences
