[Oppslist] Workshop Announcement

[Michelle Flores]

Connecting Geoscience Departments to the Future of Science: New 
Structures for Research and Curriculum
Carleton College April 25-27

Application Deadline Extended to February 16.

This workshop will consider how geoscience departments and programs will
evolve as geoscience becomes more interdisciplinary, embraces new
computational and analytic capacities, and participates in an increasingly
global community. Bringing together participants from major research
universities, regional comprehensive universities, and liberal arts
colleges we will consider the implications of these ongoing changes on the
design of our curriculum, the ways we support students and faculty in
research, and the nature of our departments themselves. Featured 
speakers include Eric Barron, Dean of the Jackson School of
Geosciences at the University of Texas at Austin, Mary Savina, President of
the Faculty at Carleton College , and Kip Hodges, Director of the School of
Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University
