[DIALOGnews] AGU EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION AWARD

[Susan Weiler]

Dear all,

I'm a member of the AGU Excellence in Education Award committee. One 
of my responsibilities is to encourage nominations.

It is easy for the broad community to identify excellence in 
research, since the outlet by which to measure this is generally 
international journals and meetings. We don't recognize excellence in 
education so easily--and no one is honored if they are not first 
nominated!

Soooo, please do take a moment to think back to your undergraduate 
and graduate education experience, and take the time to recognize and 
honor an outstanding educator by nominating them for this award. 
Cheers, sue
