SUMMARY:Strengthening our profession through structured learning exper
 iences\, Astronomy Colloquium\, Nicholas J. McConnell\, University of 
 Wisconsin-Madison
DESCRIPTION:Ingredients for a successful career in astrophysics includ
 e (but are not limited to) talent\, opportunity\, committed effort\, k
 nowledge\, resilience\, and mentorship. We all have roles in cultivati
 ng and strengthening these ingredients for ourselves\, our students\, 
 and our colleagues\, while relying on training structures that often a
 ren’t effective at balancing and integrating them. While learning ph
 ysics and astronomy content in a high school or college class is the e
 ntry point for many future researchers\, a narrower cross-section will
  access on-the-job development for crucial skills like research design
 \, adaptive planning\, and leadership. With intention these skills can
  be incorporated into astrophysics curricula and practiced early on\, 
 so they can bear upon students’ persistence in the discipline. I wil
 l share two case studies: one scaffolding research practices and minds
 ets in a UW-Madison astronomy course\, and AstroTech – a summer prog
 ram broadening undergraduate and graduate students’ participation in
  astronomy instrumentation.
