Dear Colleagues, We invite you to submit an abstract to our interdisciplinary session on graduate education and training at the 2015 Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU). The session will enable the exchange of strategies, successes, and challenges in training graduate students for diverse career paths. Keep in mind that you may submit a 2nd abstract as a first author since this is an Education (ED) session. Session ID: 7881
Session title: Frontiers of graduate education and training: Interdisciplinary and innovative transformations, experiences, and challenges Short description: Professional development and experiential learning offer graduate students exposure to an ever-changing and fast-paced work environment where they can build transferable and marketable skills necessary for a wide range of post-doctoral career paths. We invite students, scientists, and educators to share their experiences that enable development of these skills, such as interdisciplinary collaboration, international research, science communication with policymakers, and stakeholder engagement. (full description: https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm15/preliminaryview.cgi/Session7881) Abstracts are due August 5, 2015. Feel free to forward to others who may be interested in submitting to this session. Thank you.
