Dear Dr. Kurtis Williams,

I invite you to encourage students interested in graduate school from underrepresented backgrounds and identities in physics to participate in a three-day virtual event, sponsored by the Stanford Physics Department. The program will be held October 22-24, 2026 and will prioritize students who are applying for graduate programs in physics this fall.

The Stanford Physics, Identity, and Equity (PIE) program seeks to encourage and enable students who may face barriers in the graduate school application process. This program will provide information on the PhD application process, the graduate experience and research at Stanford, along with the opportunity to interact directly with Stanford faculty, postdocs, and graduate students.

The application for the program is due by Tuesday October 13, 2026 and is intended to be simple and accessible to enable the broadest participation.
