 Other Educational Programs

The SOARS Program is designed to further science education and provide access to careers in the atmospheric and related sciences for students of minority groups that are historically under-represented in the science community.  Each student is teamed with a science mentor, a writing mentor and a community mentor.  In FY04, ACD mentored the following students:

SOARS Mentors & Proteges 2004




Internship Program, Louis Pasteur Institute, France

 ACD participates in a program with the Louis Pasteur Institute in France for students who have completed a degree in instrument design.  The program is designed to increase the students’ experience, technical skills and language skills and to give them an opportunity to function independently.  The students work half-time at NCAR for an eight-month period with one of the science groups in the division.  In FY04, ACD hosted the following students:

Maxime Jager – Mentor:  Eric Apel
Vincent Schell – Mentor: Sue Schauffler
