Another SOARS summer is underway, and protégés are learning about leadership and teamwork. Casey Thornbrugh (left) and Amber Reynolds, both returning protégés, examine Global Positioning System instruments as they guide a blindfolded Luna Rodriguez. The June 1 exercise at Chautauqua Park emphasized techniques for communicating with members of a team. "It was a good trust-building exercise," says Amber, who took a turn being blindfolded and guided around the park. This year's 10-week summer program has 21 protégés and runs through August, when protégés will present their research findings at a colloquium. SOARS (which stands for Significant Opportunities in Atmospheric Research and Science) is a summer research and mentoring program that seeks to broaden participation in the geosciences by working with undergraduate and graduate students from historically underrepresented and minority groups.
