Colleagues: The ESA's Eugene P. Odum Award recognizes an ecologist for outstanding work in ecology education. Through teaching, outreach and mentoring, recipients "demonstrate their ability to relate basic ecological principles to human affairs". Recent recipients include Alan Berkowitz, Richard Root and James Porter.
This year we are especially seeking nominations for women and for individuals from underrepresented groups. Awards are given for a broad range of work including K-12 and informal (e.g. museums, nonprofits) education. Nominees must have a broad, national presence. Nomination procedures have been streamlined. To initiate the process, send the name of your nominee to Charlene D'Avanzo ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) with a short paragraph supporting your choice. Please take the time to participate in this important award. We all recognize the critical role of ecology/environmental education today and this is one way we can make that statement loud and clear. Thanks so much, -- Charlene ******************************************* Charlene D'Avanzo Professor of Ecology Dean, School of Natural Sciences Hampshire College Amherst, MA 01002 Voice 413-5595569 FAX 413-5595448 Email - [EMAIL PROTECTED] website: http://helios.hampshire.edu/~cdNS/ Teaching Issues and Experiments in Ecology (TIEE): tiee.ecoed.net/ Course website: http://ns.hampshire.edu/ns207/ **********************************************
