5 Where do our people go to/come from?
Milagro Students & Post-doc go to: VERITAS HESS GLAST Swift Auger IceCube HiRes CELESTE LIGO We get Post-docs from: Super-K Whipple/VERITAS HEGRA HEP/NP experiments Amanda Tibet CGRO Haleakala HiRes Jordan Goodman HAWC Review - December 2007

6 Milagro Outreach Activities
Quarknet US Physics Olympics High School Programs Summer Girls Question of the week Jordan Goodman HAWC Review - December 2007

7 Quarknet Milagro was the first Particle Astrophysics experiment
Mentor-physicists Jordan Goodman Kara Hoffman Lead Teachers Yuri Achille Kevin Martz They spent time at Milagro Jordan Goodman HAWC Review - December 2007

8 %US POP. 80% 4% 14.4% 13% Notes: US percentage does not add to 100% because Hispanics are an ethnic group. Approx 60% of US Hispanics are of Mexican origin. Jordan Goodman HAWC Review - December 2007

9 HAWC is planning to have one or two students this year.
Mexican Division of Particles and Fields summer program run by Heriberto Castilla A competition for students, undergraduate of the last two year or graduate students of the first year. We select the best according to academic capacity HAWC is planning to have one or two students this year. Jordan Goodman HAWC Review - December 2007
