ANNOUNCING SSL’S NEW URSA MINOR APPRENTICE PROGRAM!
Are you a current UC Berkeley sophomore that qualifies for financial aid? Are you interested in getting hands-on training in Systems, Mechanical, and/or Electrical Engineering for space missions? If you answered yes to both of these questions, then check out SSL’s new URSA Minor Apprentice Program!
Networking with SSL’s researchers and engineers sometimes leads to student positions at the lab. Perhaps the best possible regular chance to rub shoulders with some of our team is at the weekly 290B Space Sciences Seminar Series held every Tuesday from 1:00-2:10pm during the fall and spring semesters in 325 Physics South Hall on the UC Berkeley campus. To get the complete schedule and/or to join the group listserv for regular reminders, please contact SSL’s Chadi Salem at salem@ssl.berkeley.edu. Another such networking opportunity is the weekly Center for Integrative Planetary Science (CIPS) seminar held every Wednesday starting at 1:10pm in 131 Campbell Hall, with pizza served beforehand at 12:45pm. More information, including the current schedule, can be found here.
