[Geochemwksp] Acceptance to the Teaching Geochemistry Workshop, pre-Goldschmidt Conference

[David Mogk]

Dear Colleagues:

Welcome to the Teaching Geochemistry workshop. This workshop is part of 
the On the Cutting Edge professional development program, funded by NSF 
(Division of Undergraduate Education, CCLI-ND program), and sponsored by 
the National Association of Geoscience Teachers. This letter confirms 
your acceptance to the workshop. We have a really interesting mix of 
participants representing very broad interests in geochemistry--this 
should be a really exciting (and fun) workshop!

As the workshop approaches, we'll be communicating to the workshop 
participants through this listserv. You can also use this listserv to 
start pre-workshop discussions about Teaching Geochemistry by posting 
queries or comments for consideration by the group. You can also find 
information about the workshop (e.g. program, logistics, resources) at 
the webpage:
http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/geochemistry05/index.html
We would like you to officially register for the workshop (link on this 
webpage) so that we can get an accurate count of participants, and we 
also need you to download the Medical Emergency form and bring this with 
you to the workshop. While you're on the website, you might want to 
check out some of the on-line resources we've already assembled to 
support Teaching Geochemistry. There's no cost to attend the workshop 
courtesy of our grant from NSF, but you will be responsible for the 
costs of your own travel, meals and lodging (see the Goldschmidt 
Conference webpage for further details: 
http://www.the-conference.com/2005/gold2005/index.php )

Please plan to travel to the workshop on Wednesday May 18th, arriving in 
Moscow, ID by 5 PM in time for a welcoming reception and opening session 
that evening. Workshop activities will be scheduled for all of Thursday 
May 19 and Friday May 20, ending mid-afternoon that day (so there will 
be a break before registration and opening sessions of the Goldschmidt 
Conference).

We'll be sending more information in the coming weeks. For now, let us 
welcome you to the Teaching Geochemistry workshop. Looking forward to 
seeing all of you at the workshop and the Goldschmidt Conference.
With best wishes,
Dave Mogk
