Underrepresented Cadet Aero Networking

Greetings,


A little over a week ago you received an email about Underrepresented Cadet Aero Networking (UCAN). This email is a condensed version of the original email. A link to the original can be found below for your convenience.


We are following up with you today because we noticed many cadets from your squadron have not applied for this opportunity. This fully funded activity will send cadets to one of the 3 professional opportunities found below. The goal of UCAN is to get cadets to see their future selves with the people they meet at these conferences. So far only 84 cadets have applied for this initiative. Our hope is that you might convince some of your cadets to take a second look at what this program has to offer and consider applying. We realize this is not for everyone, but with your direct involvement you may have the chance to give someone an amazing adventure into a professional field. Please encourage your cadets to act soon. On November 12th the application period will end and we will immediately move to the selection process.


Thank you for your time, and please reach out to us with your questions and concerns.
