Graduate Students! We are looking forward to the Graduate Student Symposium at the All-Scientists Meeting on September 9, 2012 in Estes Park, CO.

The Graduate Student Committee (GSC) spent the winter planning some exciting events for the coming season. Among the highlights:

In fall 2011 the graduate student co-chairs, Sally Koerner and Kim La Pierre, plan to submit a proposal for a graduate student symposium to take place the day before the 7^th All Scientists Meeting (ASM) in September 2012.  Past graduate student symposiums have led to productive interactions between graduate students through career panel discussions, graduate student presentations on cross site work, and student-led and -organized working groups. 

Sally Koerner recently joined Chelse Prather as replacement for Amber Hardison in the Graduate Student Committee co-chair position.

The LTER network provides a unique opportunity to facilitate synthetic research across sites.

LTER graduate students gathered for their third Graduate Student Symposium (GSS) on September 13th, 2009, at Estes Park, CO, before the formal opening of the All Scientists Meeting.
