Representative Foster (D-IL) called out the cancellation of the NAGT-USGS fellowship program this summer in a House speech last night, making it part of the Congressional record. These statements and records make history! Thank you, Mike Phillips, our Secretary/treasurer and Advocacy committee chair, for elevating this issue. (fb)

On Friday last week, we received notification that the NSF grant supporting our long-running Workshop for Early Career Geoscience Faculty was terminated - six weeks out from the workshop. Facilities are rented, participants are registered. NAGT is committed to running this incredibly effective and important workshop, this year and beyond, even without support from NSF. We hear from past participants: "The Early Career Workshop is the main reason I’ve been successful as a geoscience professor." "The NAGT early career workshop was truly huge in introducing me to a cohort of excellent scientists across the country, and in introducing me to some of the ins-and-outs of getting funding through NSF." "The early career workshop was foundational in helping me get started, and eventually get tenure." We need your help! Read more about the workshop and donate to support it today. We are also seeking sponsorships - please reach out. (fb)
