Hi Ramesh,

My name is Anne Bessman; I’m the Program Manager for Admissions at Insight Data Science. One of our applicants from UC Merced mentioned to us that you might be the right person to ask about sending this announcement out to relevant mailing lists.

The Insight Data Programs are tuition-free Fellowships for graduate students and postdocs looking to transition to careers in data science or data engineering. Over the last 4 years, we have helped over 600 graduate students and postdocs who are all now data scientists and engineers at over 200 leading data companies across the United States.

A number of alumni from UC Merced have gone through the program, including Bryan Kerster (Cognitive and Information Science), Till Bergmann (Cognitive and Information Sciences), and Katherine Livins (Cognitive Science), who are now data scientists at Facebook, SalesforceIQ, and Stitch Fix respectively. We would love to have more Fellows of their caliber from UC Merced.

The deadlines for applications to our Programs are approaching (October 24th) and we would appreciate your help. Would you be willing to forward the following announcement to your mailing list?

Thank you,
Anne Bessman | Program Manager - Admissions
