Tech-Talks Scholarship on March 16 Co-Hosted by ECS and CWS
Posted by ldstark under Announcements
Tech-Talks Scholarship continues with a focus on the ongoing interdisciplinary activities
in Michigan Tech’s research centers and institutes. This session, co-hosted by The
Ecosystem Science Center (ECS) and the Center for Water and Society (CWS), will
take place on Tuesday, March 16, from 4 - 5 p.m. in MUB Ballroom A-1. There will be a
cash bar, with the first pop, wine, or beer on the house, and munchies will also be provided.
The ESC is designed to advance our understanding of how ecosystems function and
how human activities influence ecosystem processes. The Center’s two main objectives
are to: (1) foster ecosystem research; and (2) improve Michigan Tech’s ability to
educate graduate and undergraduate students in the area of ecosystem science. The
mission of CWS is to support research, education, and outreach in all disciplines
at Michigan Tech related to water issues. The Center’s goal is to establish Michigan Tech
as a state, regional, national and international leader in these disciplines and,
in particular, in interdisciplinary approaches to solving water-related problems.
The Tech-Talks session will begin with a five minute presentations about ECS and CWS
given by Andrew Burton, Director of ECS, and Alex Mayer, Director of CWS. This will
be followed by several four minute talks by established center participants and potential
participants and conclude with an informal social session.
All faculty, staff, and graduate students are invited to attend. If you are interested in
giving a short presentation at this session as a potential ECS and EWS participant
please send your two slides to techtalks@mtu.edu by noon on Tuesday, March 16.
The Tech-Talks Scholarship series is sponsored by the Provost’s Office and the Office
of the Vice President for Research.
