Please join us for the LTER Graduate Student Mixer and Panel Discussion at the Annual Meeting of the Ecological Society of America in Portland, OR!

The LTER Graduate Student Committee was established to foster interaction among graduate students working at LTER sites and between students and senior LTER scientists, to create student opportunities for inter-site research, and to develop interdisciplinary graduate student training programs.

The LTER Network Graduate Student Co-chairs would like to invite graduate students working in the LTER and ILTER Networks and students interested in information about LTER, to join us for an evening mixer and discussion session. This session is an opportunity for students interested in learning more about LTER to network, exchange ideas, and inform others about their research interests and current projects. Our event will include a group discussion with LTER Principal Investigators and NSF staff. Topics for discussion will include: ongoing student research, opportunities for students, and current and upcoming LTER student events and activities.

The event will be held on Wednesday, August 4, 6:30 - 8:00 PM (Location TBA). Appetizers will be served and a cash bar will be available. We will be joined by LTER personnel interested in participating in the panel discussion. For more information, please contact Tiffany Troxler Gann, troxlert@fiu.edu.
