<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default"><div class="gmail_default">Good afternoon, </div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">We will be hosting the NCAR Undergraduate Leadership Workshop (ULW) at NCAR soon, and we are looking for staff to join our students for lunchtime conversations. We are seeking scientists, software engineers, instrument engineers, communication specialists, web designers, educators, and others. We expect that there would be a few students talking with each table-mentor, and hope that you can talk with them about careers and career advice. And because it is a leadership workshop, we'd love for you to talk about traits you look for in a good leader. </div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">This year we have a large cohort of 25 students, half of whom are coming from Minority Serving Institutions. We are really excited about meeting such a diverse group of passionate and curious students. If you aren't familiar with the ULW, see David Hosansky's beautiful piece in AtmosNews that highlights a small BAMS article that we wrote about the long-term benefits of the ULW on participants. </div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">The ULW students will be at the following campuses cafeterias from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm on these days: </div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">Mon, June 4: Mesa Lab</div><div class="gmail_default">Tues, June 5: Mesa Lab</div><div class="gmail_default">Wed, June 6: Foothills Lab</div><div class="gmail_default">Thur, June 7: Foothills Lab</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">If you can join us for one or more of these lunches, the students will be excited to meet you and bounce ideas around with you about life, careers, and leadership.</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">Please let us know in this online form if you can join us at any of those times.

Last year we had 55 (!!) staff members participate in lunchtime conversations, panels, and as speakers in the ULW, which gives the students amazing access to people in different careers and perspectives. </div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">Please let colleagues know that they are also welcome to participate and send them this email and this this online form link.</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">Kind regards, </div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">Valerie</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * </div><div class="gmail_default">Valerie Sloan, Ph.D.</div><div class="gmail_default">Director of the GEO REU Network &</div><div class="gmail_default">Senior Higher Education Specialist</div><div class="gmail_default">NCAR Education & Outreach</div><div class="gmail_default">NCAR|UCAR</div><div class="gmail_default">P.O.
