The National Osterbrock Leadership Program (NOLP) is founded on the conviction that the lifelong value of the PhD - to the recipient and to society - will be maximized if PhD candidates can learn basic principles of leadership and management in addition to research training

NOLP currently has 3 “nodes”: UC Santa Cruz - UCSC Astrobiology UC Irvine - UCI Physics & Astro Columbia U - Columbia Astronomy Come meet our fellows at #AAS241 !

NOLP seeks to empower astro grad students to design and implement student-led programs and initiatives. Through these efforts, astro grad students learn invaluable leadership and management skills on the job while making an impact in their comminities

Come meet our fellows at #AAS241! We are hosting a splinter session where we will lead a discussion on two main questions: - How can astro depts empower grads to design/implement student-led programs? - How can we include formal leadership training in Astro PhD education?

Our splinter session at #AAS241 will be a roundtable discussion among researchers at all levels of astro: undergrad through tenured faculty. Everyone is welcome! Join the conversation by remembering “2”: Tuesday at 2pm in room 202!

Currently Astro PhD programs are really good at preparing students to be researchers. But are they also teaching career skills like leadership, team management, communication, etc? Join our splinter session #AAS241 to discuss more! Just remember “2”: Tuesday at 2pm in room 202

Each NOLP node operates a little differently, but all emphasize learning leadership skills through real world experience. At UCSC, grads apply for mini-grants to fund programs fully of their own design, including outreach programs.

Each NOLP node operates a little differently, but all emphasize learning leadership skills through real world experience. At UCI, fellows manage a peer mentoring program & deliver monthly workshops for first-year grads on how to navigate grad life personally and professionally.

Each NOLP node operates a little differently, but all emphasize learning leadership skills through real world experience. At Columbia, our fellows use mini-grants to fund community programs, like science outreach to patients of a local pediatric cancer hospital.

Happy #AAS241 eve! We’re so excited for our upcoming splinter session. Come explore and discuss the future of astro grad education with us! Tuesday at 2pm in Room 202!

On the way to #AAS241 to help run a workshop on how fellow (under)grad students in Physics and Astronomy can start and maintain a leadership program within their department! If you’re attending come check it out Tuesday at 2 in room 202 🎉

UCI Physics & Astro NOLP takes the form of the physics and Astronomy excellence program (PACE) where we mentor and hold monthly workshops for our new grads in order to help them navigate their first year!

In Seattle for #AAS241!! Come find me at the astrobites booth on Monday afternoon, the National Osterbrock Leadership Program (NOLP Fellows) splinter session on Tuesday, Astro on Tap on Wednesday evening, and the Computation/Data Handling/Image Analysis session on Thursday!

Our splinter session is coming up! Spread the word and join us to discuss how we can shape the astro PhD education of the future!
