2021-22 President’s Leadership Forum
There are still several openings for students in the 2021-22 President’s Leadership Forum. The PLF is a unique venue for students to meet bi-weekly with OC President Sanchez as they study extraordinary leaders together, culminating in a letter of recommendation that is often helpful for transfer and career purposes. Perhaps more importantly, participating students tend to form long-lasting bonds with other future leaders as they develop their own networks of support and influence. Last year’s PLF cohort included a student who was accepted to Stanford University with a Jack Kent Cooke Scholarship, and quite a few PLF participants are accepted for transfer to their first-choice universities.

NASA Community College Aerospace Scholars (NCAS) is an agencywide STEM engagement activity for community college students to engage in authentic learning experiences with NASA’s diverse people, content and facilities. Funded by the Minority Undergraduate Research and Education Project’s (MUREP) competitive awards, NASA provides financial assistance to minority serving institutions. These institutions recruit and retain underrepresented and underserved students, including women, girls, veterans and persons with disabilities, into STEM fields.
During the program, students compete to become a NASA Community College Aerospace Scholar by completing STEM-based activities online to become eligible to visit a NASA Center for a four-day, expenses paid, onsite experience.
The genesis of Microalgae came from an alumni of the NCAS activity who simply proposed a good research idea and is now an International Space Station (ISS) Payload Developer.
If you have any questions, please reach out to NCAS at JSC-NCAS@mail.nasa.gov
