SUMMARY:Recruiting Undergraduate Eclipse Ambassadors: We Need Your Help!
DESCRIPTION:NASA and the Astronomical Society of the Pacific are inviting undergraduate students to become Eclipse Ambassadors and help prepare their community for a pair of exciting celestial events! Two solar eclipses will cross North America – first an annular solar eclipse on Oct 14\, 2023\, and then a total solar eclipse on Apr 8\, 2024. \nHundreds of college students across the country will be partnered with amateur astronomers to bring eclipse science\, safe viewing techniques\, and cultural connections for the eclipses to their communities as trained Eclipse Ambassadors. Eclipse Ambassadors will bring outreach programs to local libraries\, colleges\, schools\, and other community organizations with activities and resources provided to the volunteers. Undergraduates will receive a $100 stipend on completion\, plus opportunities to further their involvement in NASA programs. \nThe project hopes to reach 500 communities across the country\, with a particular emphasis on connecting with traditionally underserved audiences. We ask students\, of any major\, to join us to learn new skills\, make connections\, and share their enthusiasm about eclipses and science with the public! We are especially interested in including students from Community Colleges\, Minority Serving Institutions\, and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU)\, but all interested students are encouraged to apply. \nThis program is funded by NASA and administered by the nonprofit Astronomical Society of the Pacific.   For more information and to apply\, see: eclipseambassadors.org  If you have further questions\, you can email: eainfo@astrosociety.org
