How to Apply for the Ulysses Interview Program
Dear
Educator,
The
Ulysses/Voyager Project teach-one-teach-many Interview Program
was such a success among the students, teachers, and parents,
we're doing it again! We would like to invite your school
to participate in this unique project.
Through
one student, this program is designed to share important
facts about space science, mission operations, spacecraft
design, and project management with many students.
Selection
Process
All
students who wish to participate must submit a completed
interviewer application form (available on-line or in print
version at the links below) to the Ulysses/Voyager Outreach
Coordinator. Each student applying must obtain a letter
of recommendation written on the school letterhead from
his/her Science Teacher (to be submitted with the application).
All application forms will go through a selection process
(final selection made by the Ulysses/Voyager Advisory Board).
Submit
applications on-line or mail printed applications and Letters
of Recommendation to the address listed below:

web sites, the project office, published articles).

The interviewee may be from the Ulysses Project or the Voyager
Project.
The student may receive academic credit at their school
Principals discretion.

only).

The interview must take place within six (6) months and
during the school calendar year.
Interview questions must be given to the Outreach Coordinator
two (2) weeks prior to the interview.

or other educational organizations (project office assistance
with presentation materials).
We are looking forward to working with your students!
Best
Regards,
