Greetings to all students and early career scientists!
Are you interested in making the upcoming Virtual AGU Fall meeting more accessible and inclusive? Do you have ideas about things that the SPA Section could be doing to serve our community in general? Then come join me in the new AGU SPA student committee!
My name is Gilly, and I am your student representative on the SPA Executive Committee. Last month, the student representatives from all of the AGU sections had a meeting where we talked about what each section was doing to support their communities. In response to that meeting, our section has decided to form our own SPA Student Committee. This committee will be responsible for communicating the needs of the students at AGU meetings (and throughout the rest of the year too!) to the executive committee, and will be well positioned to spearhead initiatives that serve our community. And because this is a new committee, there is a lot of room for the role of the committee to evolve to best meet our needs. If you are interested in volunteering, please fill this brief form (full link below) . Open to anyone who wants to improve the student experience at AGU, including high schoolers, undergraduates, grad students, postdocs, and EC scientists. Feel free to email me directly at chris.gilly@colorado.edu if you have any comments, questions, or concerns.
I hope to hear from you soon!
