Building Strong Geoscience Departments
Defining Strong Departments
Many researchers have studied what makes a department "strong." Read about their findings.
National Context
Given the ongoing changes in how we do science, how colleges and universities operate, and in the realm of education, how can your department anticipate and prepare for the future?
Department Activities
Find resources and references about student recruitment, program development (including curriculum, internships, student research, advising, mentoring, and more), and professional preparation for students as they prepare for the next stage of their development, whether that's entry into a career or further education.
Heads and Chairs
Department Heads and Chairs are expected to lead their departments through strategic planning processes, recruit and retain top-notch faculty, and advocate for their departments in a world of finite resources. Learn successful strategies for doing all of that.
Workshops and Sessions
Find out about workshops and conference sessions focusing on strengthening geoscience departments and ensuring the future of quality geoscience education at colleges and universities.
About this Project
