Greetings, <br><br>
I'm pleased to announce the 2006 series of workshops for current and
future geoscience faculty. These workshops are part of the
professional development program, On the Cutting Edge, which is funded by
a grant from the NSF Division of Undergraduate Education. <br><br>
Our website provides more information about the various workshops and
gives the deadline for each workshop - THE EARLIEST DEADLINE IS JANUARY
16, 2006. On-site workshop expenses are generally covered for the
workshops and participants or their departments pay for their travel to
the workshop. <br><br>
