[Casa] Governor's school mentorship opportunity

[Todd Satogata]

Hi folks,

Please see the below email from Katherine Wilson here at JLab, with a
request for mentors for seniors at the Governor's School for Science
and Technology in Hampton. Katherine also mentioned to me that "many
of these kids have already finished Calc 1 & 2, and university physics
or chemistry, depending on their track" so it seems to me that their
competencies are comparable to early SULI/REU students we have during
the summers.

If you are have an idea and are interested, please CC: me, Tristan,
and your line manager and we can reach out to contact Carol McKissen
directly. I'll mention this at the CASA coffee meeting this morning
too. Cheers!

                                                 -Todd

> Dear all,
>
> I am writing to ask if you would consider being a mentor for a
> governor's school student this year.  These students are high school
> seniors at the Governor's School for Science and Technology (located
> in Hampton, but draws from the entire Peninsula region); the
> admissions process is competitive, and they are typically motivated
> and enthusiastic about math and science.
>
> The duration of the mentorship is the 23-24 school year, about 3-4
> hours of student time per week, in person or hybrid, as you prefer.
> The work the student is doing should be mostly technical, and they
> should have or participate in a project; ie, something with a
> defined deliverable they can present at the end of the year.
>
> This is a good opportunity for you all to get some help to finish
> those little side projects we never seem to have time for, or to
> support you on a bigger project.  I don't think SRF has heavily
> participated in this program in the past -- the projects I've seen
> from JLab are generally data analysis from Physics -- so I think
> this is a great opportunity for SRF to participate in what is
> hopefully a rewarding and useful program that helps to support our
> community.  These students are also overwhelmingly headed to college
> to get degrees in science, engineering, computer science or
> medicine, so it's not a bad way to help develop potential future
> JLab employees. :)
>
> I'm taking a personal interest in this program because my daughter
> Anna has applied for a mentorship at JLab.  Carol McKissen has let
> me know the lab is short on volunteer mentors, and asked for help
> finding some more so we can offer positions to all interested
> students.
>
> I've attached some information on the program, and also my
> daughter's resume and cover letter.  (I can confirm that Anna is
> responsible and self-motivated, and very interested in an
> opportunity to work at JLab.  Some of you all may have met her when
> she used to visit the lab and ask to see the Test Lab when she was
> younger.)
>
> If you are interested in helping out with this program, please let
> me or Carol know.  Carol can make the other resumes available for
> review as well.
 >
> Thank you!
