Here is a copy of the note that Srini sent to the CSD students and faculty: ------ [THIS NOTE IS FOR CSD PH.D. STUDENTS ONLY. EACH DEPARTMENT WILL HANDLE THEIR OWN NOMINATION PROCESS.] Dear CSD colleagues, The IBM PhD Fellowship Program is open for nominations. The Computer Science Department may nominate two PhD students, in addition to any renewals from the last two years. Each faculty member may nominate at most one student. To nominate a student, please send me their *complete* packet by noon, Friday, Oct 10. The packet should consist of the following: student's CV, research statement (max 5 pages), and advisor's nominating letter. The CSD Fellowships Committee will review the packets and announce the two CSD nominations the following week. The nominating faculty member will then have until Tuesday, October 28th to upload the student's final nomination packet. See http://www.research.ibm.com/university/phdfellowship/index.shtml for more info. Thanks! Srini
