Dave Mogk Receives MSA Distinguished Public Service Award

Congratulations to NAGT member and Cutting Edge co-PI, David Mogk on being selected as the 2017 Mineralogical Society of America Distinguished Public Service Award. The Distinguished Public Service (DPS) Medal is awarded to individuals or organizations who have made important contributions to furthering the vitality of the geological sciences, especially but not necessarily in the fields of mineralogy, geochemistry, petrology, and crystallography.

Dave has made incredible contributions to the success of NAGT directly as well as through his tireless work on geoscience education projects such as On the Cutting Edge, Building Strong Geoscience Departments, Bringing Research on Learning to the Geosciences, Integrating Research and Education, and many, many others. There are few more deserving of accolades for their efforts to make geoscience a vibrant, dynamic, and welcoming community of disciplines.

Congratulations Dave! Rock on!
