The goal of the SOFIA Community Day Workshop is to provide information and support to local astronomers to help them prepare and submit excellent observing proposals in response to the Cycle 5 call. Scientists from the SOFIA Science Center will provide a series of presentations about the observatory capabilities, instrumentation, and the proposal preparation process. There will be plenty of time for Q&A and hands-on time to work with proposal tools and the data archive. The workshop will be suitable for novices and experienced IR observers.
