<Under Construction, information about becoming a facilitator>
“URSA was incredibly rewarding for me as a graduate student as it challenged me to design interactive and scaffolded astrophysics content. Not only that, but my own science communication skills blossomed as I found ways to cover advanced topics like particle dark matter and multi-messenger astronomy in an accessible fashion to students just entering college who may not have had a physics course before. URSA helped me realize that not only do I have a passion for teaching and mentoring, but that I have the confidence to strive for excellence as an educator.”
– Melanie Z., URSA 2023 Graduate Student Academic Facilitator
“Participating as an academic facilitator is an excellent opportunity for you to directly contribute to improving diversity in our department and Physics as a field. It is also a great opportunity for career development because of the importance of diversity and inclusion in both academia and industry.”
– Michael Porier, Professor and Chair of the Department of Physics
