Are you an undergraduate woman interested in a career in the earth systems and environmental sciences? The earth systems and environmental sciences include topics such as the earth, its atmosphere and oceans, energy, air quality, climate, water and natural resource management, and natural disaster forecasting.

If yes, then we would like to invite you to participate in a one-day professional development workshop at Colorado State University; meals and transportation provided. The workshop is part of a study to identify ways to support women’s interest in earth systems and environmental science careers through the National Science Foundation funded PROGRESS (PROmoting Geoscience Research Education and SuccesS) program. The workshop will be held on either the Saturday or the Sunday during the weekend of Feb. 9 and 10.

If you are interested in participating in one of these single-day workshops, please complete the brief online application (will take less than 5 minutes to complete).

This project is being funded by the National Science Foundation (Grant# DUE-1431795).
