SOARS
The Significant Opportunities in Atmospheric Research and Science (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. Please visit https://soars.ucar.edu for more information.
