*AGU/AGI Heads and Chairs Webinars: *The next webinar on “*The Benefits and
Challenges of having Geoscience Education Research Faculty in your
Department*” is just over a week away. Please consider registering yourself
or invite any of your faculty or colleagues who are interested in learning
more about how a Geoscience Education Research (GER) faculty can transform
teaching practices, build programs to increase recruitment and retention
and support your department by using research-validated practices.
Additionally, you can learn about the benefits of having a GER faculty in
your own department and hear from a department head who has two successful
GER faculty and labs, as well as the challenges of evaluating GER faculty
for tenure and promotion. Join panelists Karen McNeal (associate professor,
North Carolina State University) Walter Robinson (professor and department
head, North Carolina State University) and Anthony Feig (associate
professor, Central Michigan University) to learn and share your thoughts
about this topic on Friday, *18 March 2016*, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00
p.m. Eastern
Standard Time. Click on this link
