DEI Committee Program 

After a well-received webinar in late August, the AGU Biogeosciences Section’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee is holding a series of virtual "office hours" to prepare potential nominators and nominees to AGU medals, honors, and awards with the knowledge and skills they need to put together an outstanding packet.

In the first session, LaToya Myles, the Chair of the AGU Honors & Recognition Committee, will present an overview of the AGU Honors program with the goal of answering the question, “Which honor(s) should I target?” Attendees can watch her in-depth overview of the topic at the original seminar here; while she will present a high-level review in the office hour, most of the time will be dedicated to Q&A.

The next office hour will be September 30, 2022 from 2–3 pm Eastern Time (11–12 pm Pacific). Please sign up at this link, or email Sam Rabin (sam.rabin@rutgers.edu) with any questions.

The AGU Biogeosciences Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee is providing 2022 Fall Meeting Travel Grants to help increase the diversity among Biogeosciences attendees, by covering costs associated with attending the meeting, virtually or in-person. Awards will be need-based and up to $1,000. Up to $4,000 will be dispersed this year. Awards are reserved for applicants who identify as members of underrepresented or underserved communities, have financial need, and who might otherwise not be able to attend the meeting.

Applications close October 7th, 2022.
