Workshop For Early Career Geoscience Faculty

Applications are now being accepted for the 2023 Early Career Geoscience Faculty workshop, June 25-29, 2023, with an optional virtual visit to NSF July 10-11. Join us at Macalester College in St. Paul, MN for a multi-day workshop in a stimulating and resource-rich environment, where you will participate in sessions on topics including effective teaching strategies, course design, establishing a research program in a new setting, working with research students, balancing professional and personal responsibilities, and time management. The Early Career Geoscience Faculty workshop is for faculty in their first three years of a tenure-track or equivalent position, with priority given to applicants entering their second or third years in their position. See the overview page for more details.

NAGT Scholarships for Field Study

Each year, NAGT makes several $750 awards to undergraduate students to facilitate their study of field geoscience. These awards, previously given to students who attend a traditional summer field camp, are now available for students attending field-based courses at any time of year and in any format: face-to-face, virtual, or hybrid. Awardees are selected based on the importance of the field experience in meeting their educational and career goals, the quality of the field aspects of the course, and the importance of the financial award in allowing them to participate in the program.

Apply for field study funding

Find a 2023 Field Camp

Looking for a field camp for summer 2023? NAGT maintains a list of summer field programs-whether they be online, in-person, or hybrid-that have space for additional students. The list is updated as field camp directors add their courses to the list, so check back often.

Please share the field camp list with other students who may be interested in participating in these programs.

Find guidelines for photos and submit a photo using this form.

Coming Soon: Rendezvous 2023

Keep an eye out for the opening of abstract submission and registration for the 2023 Earth Educators' Rendezvous, July 10-14 in Pasadena, CA. The Rendezvous brings together researchers and practitioners working in all aspects of undergraduate Earth education, including a mix of college faculty, graduate students, and K-12 teachers from all disciplines who are interested in improving their teaching about Earth.

This year's Rendezvous will feature multiple opportunities specifically for graduate students, including the annual Preparing for an Academic Career Workshop.
