• Workshop for Heads and Chairs at AGU
  

  This one-day workshop provides an opportunity for leaders of geoscience departments to come together to learn, share, and build community to collectively strengthen geoscience programs and departments.

• SERC Spotlight
  

  Ellen Iverson, director, and Kristin O'Connell, evaluation/education associate, co-authored a paper with colleagues titled, "Building Institutional Capacity for Research Impacts: The ARIS ORIC Program," in Research Management Review.

  
  Congratulations to Ellen, Kristin, and their co-authors on this outstanding achievement!

• SERC now hosting Promoting Geoscience Research, Education and Success (PROGRESS)
  

  SERC is now hosting the website for the PROmoting Geoscience, Research, Education and SuccesS (PROGRESS) Program. Progress aims to mentor STEM undergraduates who identify as women interested in the Geosciences through a combination of formal and informal, professional and peer mentoring.

• DOI's are now available for SERC pages
  Digital Object Identifiers (DOI's) are now available for content hosted by SERC. They are made available upon request. Simply click the DOI link within the author information, or in the page footer.
• Visible Geology teaching activities
  

  Developed by geoscience faculty, these versatile, single-day teaching activities utilize Seequent's Visible Geology web-based application to strengthen students' spatial reasoning and geological analysis skills. Designed for quick integration into homework, lectures, or labs, they help prepare the next generation for the geoscience workforce.

What's New at SERC

Inclusive Excellence 3: Learning Community Cluster 4 (LCC4)

LCC4 proposes to make substantial, cross-institutional progress toward meaningful evaluation of inclusive teaching.

Accelerating Systemic Change Network

he Accelerating Systemic Change Network (ASCN) is a network of individuals and institutions, formed with the goal of more quickly advancing STEM education programs. Our unique approach is to bring together those who are researching systemic change at higher education institutions, with those who are making systemic change happen at their individual institutions.

Compass: Advancing Earth Education Resource Discovery

The Compass project is an effort at SERC to help our users find the teaching resources they need more efficiently and effectively. Learn how to take advantage of the new features developed through this project.
