Title: State of the Department: Outreach

We will discuss different outreach initiatives that our department members have been involved with, including mentoring, writing for Astrobitos, library outreach, volunteering at a Smithsonian, hackathons, ACE, EDI, observatory, and more! The structure is rather informal--our participants will spend ~5 minutes or less to share what their initiative is about, how they heard about it, what did they learn from it, and if and how one can join. Anyone is welcome to contribute with their own experiences, even if your name is not listed above. Sharing information about opportunities that you heard about but haven't been personally involved with is OK too--we just want to learn about as many outreach programs as possible!
