    ASE Alumni Spotlight: Kate LeBlanc

    Kate LeBlanc absolutely loves the brain; it astounds, mystifies and challenges her. She discovered this fascination during the summer of 2015 while interning with Saturday Academy’s Apprenticeships in Science & Engineering (ASE) Program. For eight weeks, Kate worked full-time at the Portland VA Medical Center under the direction of three mentors. Kate was a bit overwhelmed at first, working in a lab 40 hours a week with esteemed researchers and accomplished graduate students.

But my life was hardly lacking in scheduled commitments. Some days felt insurmountable, and my reward for scaling to the top didn’t leave me feeling purposeful.

    Get ready for the Solar Eclipse

    Mark your calendars for August 21. You won’t want to miss the total solar eclipse! 

    The last total solar eclipse that was visible in Oregon occurred in 1979, and there won’t be another visible until 2108! On August 21st, the path of totality, or the path the moon’s shadow travels across Earth, will touch Oregon first, fully eclipsing at 10:15 AM and passing over the state in approximately 10 minutes, ending in South Carolina.
