As such, when we mention under-represented minority groups, there is a special focus on Black, Hispanic, and indigenous peoples communities, \u00a0female and female-identifying students, and other gender minorities, but members of other marginalized communities are also included.<\/p>\n<h3>Program Agenda<\/h3>\n<p><strong>1:00-1:40 pm:\u00a0<\/strong>Welcome and introduction to physics at Brown.<br \/>\n<strong>1:45-2:30 pm:\u00a0<\/strong>Workshop 1 \u2013 Parts of a graduate school application and how to organize them.<br \/>\n<strong>2:30-2:45 pm:<\/strong>\u00a0Break<br \/>\n<strong>2:45-3:45 pm:<\/strong>\u00a0Roundtable with current students: \u00a0How I organized my application, and how I decided where to apply?<br \/>\n<strong>3:45-4:30 pm:<\/strong>\u00a0Workshop 2: \u00a0Maximizing your impact\u2013personal statements and letters.<br \/>\n<strong>4:30-5:00 pm:<\/strong>\u00a0Questions &amp; Answers, Instructions for signing up for future drop-in sessions and contacts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brown University Physics Department is launching the Brown PREP (Promoting Representation and Equality in Physics) program intended to help \u00a0students from traditionally underrepresented groups and gender minorities to prepare their &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/physicsastro\/event\/brown-prep-promoting-representation-and-equality-in-physics-program\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Brown PREP (Promoting Representation and Equality in Physics) Program&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9557,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[],"class_list":["post-147","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/physicsastro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/147","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/physicsastro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/physicsastro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/physicsastro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9557"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/physicsastro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/147\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":148,"href":"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/physicsastro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/147\/revisions\/148"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/physicsastro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=147"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/physicsastro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=147"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/physicsastro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=147"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
