Dear GeoEd community,

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 to register. Learn more about the webinar series here. If you missed any of the 2015 webinars, you can view all the previous recordings. If you missed last month’s webinar on academic and industry partnerships, the recording is now available.
