Our team
We are a small group of graduate students, post-doctoral students, and faculty who have come together to help young diverse scientists take part of our scientific community. Our team works to review personal statements from students applying to internships, astronomy schools, and graduate school applications. We also serve as mentors to students in the program, but these students deserve more mentoring than we can give, so if you are interested in being part of our team, please email me at: antonio{dot}j{dot}porras{at}vanderbilt{dot}edu
