September 23, 2021 – 12:00-1:30pm – $50/person
oin us for an open discussion on diversity in the geosciences and the future of the profession. The luncheon will begin with an introduction by the AEG
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee (DEIC). They have recently established the AEG Foundation Diversity Fund. This is a resource for two new efforts to increase the diversity of the geoscience community. There will be a $5,000 scholarship for a sophomore, junior, or senior geoscience student who has a personal heritage of Black, Hispanic or Latinx, Pacific Islander, and/or Indigenous American/Alaska Native. And there will be five $1,000 grants for junior high or high school teachers to host a geoscience field trip for students from these groups. The moderators for the luncheon will be April Fontaine and Georgette Hlepas with the United States Army Corps of Engineers. They will begin the discussion with initiatives that the Corps is working on to address diversity and recruitment. We invite you to join in the discussion to share your experiences, challenges, and successes.
