Good afternoon,

he
NCAR 
Undergraduate Leadership Workshop (ULW
)
, and
we 
are writing to ask you to join us
for a
chat with
a few
students over lunch
,
and possibly be interviewed
later in the week
.

If you aren't familiar with the ULW, see
David Hosansky
's 
beautiful piece

in
AtmosNews
<https://www2.ucar.edu/atmosnews/just-published/127466/shaping-career-in-week>
that highlights a small BAMS article
<http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/abs/10.1175/BAMS-D-15-00214.1> that we
wrote about the long-term
benefits
of the ULW
for
participants.

Please consider joining us for the following:

1. *Be a part of “Conversations*
* about careers"*

Please join us to chat with the students at lunchtime about your career
path and work. After hearing from so many of you last year, one student
said at the end of the ULW. “For the first time since high school, I’m not
afraid of my future.”

Looking for: software engineers, instrumentation engineers, educators,
communications specialists,
and 
research scientists,
including postdoctoral fellows or advanced graduate students.

Bring your lunch and join us on one of the following days:

Monday, July 10 at 12 pm, Mesa Lab cafeteria

Tuesday, July 11 at 12 pm, Foothills Lab cafeteria

Thursday, July 13 at 12 pm Foothills Lab cafeteria

*Please let us know in this online form
<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ULW-conversations-form> if you can join us
at any of those times.*

* 2. If you are willing to be contacted for an interview later in the week*

I f a student is interested in interviewing you about your work, your
training, and the joys and challenges of working in your field , could we
contact you?

Background: The students will be developing  career profiles,  using
 examples  of different professions in atmospheric science, engineering,
and related fields.

*Please let us know in our online form
<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ULW-conversations-form> if you are open to
being contacted for an interview. *
